  1. Hacked Your Account In the future, meat can be grown in vats without ever having to have an entire animal. This same technology is currently being developed to replace human organs and tissue but as it becomes cheaper, we can replace farming with this. Then vegans would have no argument but taste. The muscle tissue is grown without a nervous system or an animal, nothing is killed and it would be much more efficient as there would be no need for feed for animals. Hell, when it gets good enough you could probably have your own meat growing vat in your home.

  2. theeKiersten The EPA says different about sources of greenhouse gasses, electricity and transportation making up 60% of co2 emissions in the US. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/sources.html. Here's the total world emissions, agriculture isn't top anywhere http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/global.html. What's your source? All I can find is that factory farms account for 37% of methane emissions, which hardly makes it the top source of all greenhouse gasses.

  3. Hacked Your Account It would be fresh meat, just without a cow/pig/chicken gut mess to clean up after. It's literally only the parts you eat, grown separately, without the need to waste land growing feed or killing anything. Keep in mind, this would be cloned from existing animals, so it will be indistinguishable from meat cut from an animal. You'd just disconnect the vein and artery hookups and it would be ready for cutting and cooking.

  4. Hacked Your Account It hasn't been made yet, but since they are making human organs with the process, I would guess that they wouldn't include harmful chemicals in their makeup as that would decrease success rates. This is a ways off, but there is no technical reason why it wouldn't work as they are already growing muscle in the form of artificially grown hearts right now. Wouldn't it be great to have your own, homegrown meat, without needing to do all that killing and skinning, etc?

  5. Tuton25 What does? Deforestation? No.

  6. Tuton25 Well, it does produce more farm animals than a forest would, that's for sure.

  7. Tuton25 You are missing the point. It's not about how much the land produces for humans, it's about NOT utilizing the land at all.

  8. ***** There's a lot more of us eating a lot more delicious meat now though, there never were 7 billion of us before, eating trillions of animals a year that all needed food and pasture as well. The answer is not stopping the consumption of meat,l it is in producing meat without the animal. Scientists are already growing new human organs and tissue, this same process is also being applied to growing muscle mass for consumption. It's currently $33/lb and doesn't taste very good because fat cells have not been included yet, but when it's done you'll be able to grow your own meat at home without ever killing any animals or having to devote large tracts of land and vast resources to produce them.

  9. Zippy B Looks just like hamburger and is identical to regular meat except they haven't added fat yet. It's the same meat as what grows in the animal, except it doesn't grow on an animal. It is literally the same thing, why are you disgusted? It's a lot better than anything soy.
