Nope. Lab manufactured meat still requires a pretty huge deal of effort, and will quite literally never become more economically viable on a mass scale than .75 tonne cattle.

If we could get everyone in just America to limit meat to two or three times a week, or even just stop making it their primary food source, we could drastically reduce the need for land to grow corn, soy and grazing pastures. Right now the economic place to do so is either Brazil or Indonesia. Both very much in danger old growth forest land and boh very much don't care about uncontacted tribes/orangutan habitat.

Still more profitable to burn it all and grow grain to feed livestock. Paying into preservation funds in the developing world would work exponentially better than doing nothing; and it requires very little active participation. Many European nations already pay growing nations to keep their forests.

Meanwhile, Poland is chopping down the oldest forest in Europe and kicking out EU environmental inspectors. It's truly a world of relativity, and we're a relatively shitty species.

To clarify, she means that the steak in the heated cambro is already cooked and prepared. Afaik only the chicken is not marinated and grilled on site, which is relatively new.

Me thinks someone here isn't allowed to talk about the boss. How's that work your way, u/nationalgeographic?

I know qualitatively that your programming has slid vertically down hill since Murdoch took over, but I really wanted you to say it too.

(Truly, though. Thank you for all your support of Mosques in the US. You've been a vocal supporter of modern religious equality, and many of us love you; whomever you are, for it)

It's all depressing.. we live on a dying planet where the rich deny that anything is wrong at all. It's going to take Manhattan with 12ft of water on the streets to admit any wrongdoing.

I vote we just let the Netherlands handle it. They've been keeping nature at bay for centuries.
