One of the unexpected benefits of nerdy pursuits. Remember that Pohl and Kornbluth story that featured "chicken little?"<BR/><BR/>I too find factory farms to be undesirable, not merely for the cruelty but also because they artificially ignore the environmental costs. They are not sustainable in the long run as they overload water supplies and spawn antibiotic-resistant diseases.<BR/><BR/>Tissue engineered meat seems far more sustainable and less cruel. Energy is only used to grew the muscle and related tissues that compose meat--much more efficient.<BR/><BR/>I'm a little leery of trying to tweak the vat grown meat to be as healthy as textured vegetable protein. I think more research needs to be done before we start that kind of hack. I'm not saying it's impossible, just saying we should be careful.<BR/><BR/>I'm a meat eater myself (I try to stay with small, infrequent portions of chicken and fish.) but, it think it will benefit everyone's and the planet's health to stay low on the food chain.<BR/><BR/>I agree that vat grown meat can be a great benefit to us. Imagine all that cattle range that will be allowed to go wild again. No more coyotes or wolves being shot!<BR/><BR/>(Thanks for the vote of confidence on my new site layout by the way.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
