    Just go eat plant-based all together, so we won’t have these problems that endanger the existence of life on our planet. Including humans.

      It’s so simple: almost as simple as stop burning oil and using plastic packaging and invading other countries and using slave labour…

      That won’t stop all the other people eating animal products. You can’t solve systemic problems with individual action.

        It won’t, but at least you’re not part of the problem anymore. You might inspire other people to. And every person who goes plantbased makes it more politically viable to enact policies to encourage plant based over the most destructive other foods. Try to avoid discouraging people who try to do the right thing, help them make a bigger impact instead.

        This. How can a vegan meat alternative cost more than real meat. I’d buy it immediately but as a consumer I don’t want to be screwed over.

          Eating plants isn’t more expensive than eating meat, just eating plant-based attempts at mimicking meat.

          In the EU the answer would be that we’re subsidising cattle farmers for enormous amounts of money

    Just because there’s a demand for something doesn’t mean you have to deliver. There needs to be environmental protections in place to avoid overfishing. The article points out a ban on trawling as a possible step, but spends too much time pointing at the aquaculture industry.

    The oceans are fucked, and we need to start taking conservation seriously.

    Has there been any educated estimates when lab grown meat is going to be scaling for things like salmon?
