As a thinking experiment, let us consider that on the 1st of January of 2025 it is announced that an advance making possible growing any kind of animal tissue in laboratory conditions as been achieved and that it is possible to scale it in order to achieve industrial grade production level.

There is no limit on which animal tissues can be grown, so, any species is achieveable, only being needed a small cell sample from an animal to start production, and the cultivated tissues are safe for consumption.

There won’t be any perceiveable price change to the end consummer, as the growing is a complex and labour intensive process, requiring specialized equipments and personnel.

Would you change to this new diet option?

      Yeah, I’m pretty picky about the meat I do eat. It’s the fat and gristle that I can’t stand. After a pork chop, it looks like a dissection. I don’t like to eat around bones. If I think about it too much, old probably end up vegetarian, which would probably be better for me given my other health issues. I don’t think anybody ever died from eating too many vegetables.

        This actually happened to me too for quite a long while. I knew I would be vegan for maybe 10 years before I decided I should just do it one day. Life’s weird like that. I will say its pretty important to have fresh veggies and fruits nearby or else its practically impossible no matter what.
