    Or we can simply eat beans, tofu or any of the dozens of plant protein sources. I don’t get why people are so dead set on stuffing some animal part into their mouths.

      Because it’s tasty. Because we have a few million year history of eating it and it satisfies a deep itch in our consciousness.

      The only issues with meat are the ethical concerns and the environmental issues, both of which are eliminated with lab meat. We get the taste without the pointless suffering.

      Not everyone likes plant proteins as a sole source, and that’s okay.
