I found it inspirational and am glad you did, as well. For me, it’s helpful to think of adding these low-carbon foods instead removing carbon-high foods. Just a shift in thinking, but a powerful one. Thanks for commenting and happy new year!

Thanks for your comment. I would love to see animal agriculture be like cigarette smoking in the U.S. When I was growing up people (including doctors and nurses) smoked in hospitals! Smoking has since become rare and somewhat frowned upon in society. I hope eating meat can have a similar trajectory, but hopefully at a quicker pace.

You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful. I’m not sure that cultivated meat will ever become widely available. If it does, I doubt many vegans will adopt it as the cell lines used all come from animals (alive or dead). So, some animal exploitation still occurs with cultivated meat. However, if a breakthrough allows it to come to market on a…
