This is the type of solution we need to be working on for many aspects of life.
Today I am going to present my case as to why humanity needs to invest heavily in lab grown meat. - meat protein is an excellent source of many of the things we need to survive - the environmental impact of current meat production is unsustainable, lab grown meat combats this in several ways: - no need to have vast pastures for grazing, therefore no more clear cutting of rainforest or other forests - no need to grow large amounts of feed for raising animals, therefore better land usage to address human food needs - since labs can be set up anywhere, including city centers, there is no need to transport animals around to processing facilities, and then transport the meats around, thereby reducing additional pollution in several aspects - lab grown meat removes some of the ethical concerns involved in meat production and consumption - the ability to grow meats also has space travel and exploration applications; it might be nearly impossible to establish a pasture on Mars in any reasonable amount of time but setting up a lab is simple in comparison, long trips are also simplified by being able to synthesize meat en route instead of having to manage livestock or preserve enough food to make the trip - the potential exists to adjust and tweak the lab grown meat in order to maximize its nutrition and minimize its negative health impacts - custom flavors and styles of meats! This is not an exhaustive list, but enough to get people thinking. That environmental impact one is huge, take a few minutes to think about everything that goes into current meat production. Tractors to grow feed for animals (exhaust and soil erosion), vehicles to transport animals to processing centers (exhaust), machines at processing centers (various waste products and upkeep), vehicles to transport the processed meats to consumers (more exhaust and refrigeration during transport), then consumers driving to buy meats (more exhaust, plastics, Styrofoam)[naturally this last bit will…
