    isn’t lab grown meat something that straight up wasn’t alive and thus couldn’t suffer. what’s wrong with that, if the issues with meat consumption are climate harm and the suffering of living animals in its creation /genq. for what it’s worth if i could eat imitation human meat that didn’t come from previously alive human i’d fuck that meal up

      What’s wrong with it is that I think it’s weird to want to viscerally simulate something I regard as immoral. I’d also feel the same thing about virtual reality r*pe or whatever. I’m not someone who wants to eat meat though, real or artificial, so I don’t understand the impulse.

      Culture grown meat is literally unholy necromancy for the sake of satiating bloodlust. I don’t know what other words to use. There are probably hundreds of better uses for growing flesh in a petri dish, like making stem cells or replacement organs or something, but there’s something inherently evil about wanting to do it for food.
