    It’s not the meat eating that’s immoral, it’s the industrialization of meat production that is - robbing an animal of all its freedom and all its chances to actually be alive. It kills evolution. It is anti-life.

    What is happening on these industrialized meat farms is utterly disgusting and will become a crime once synthetic meat production is economically viable. It’s existentially wrong beyond any morals.

      Absolutely can’t wait for lab grown meat to reach industrial scale.

      Hunted meat is really ethical in the mean time, in my country that usually means pheasant (at the right time of year) or venison (which is unfortunately not cheap at all, I’d really like to see deer hunting for meat encouraged by the government).

      I do eat farmed meat, but I definitely eat less of it than I used to.

        Hunting is also beneficial to the health of game animal herds, and is a fundamental part of wildlife conservation.

        So it can be ethical, healthy, and tasty to eat meat from killed animals.

          Not true they hunt the wrong ones. In nature the sick and weak are eaten by predators. We shoot the healthiest ones. Bad idea.

            OK smart guy, go ask any wildlife conservationist about it or just google it. I’m right and you are absolutely wrong.
