    I don’t see how it can be worse. “Energy to create the nutrients and maintain temperature for the cells” is something both the chicken and the lab have to spend. I’m happier to have a lab create meat from the cells up than farmers doing their best to create sacks of muscle that can’t stand up with a poor little head poking out the top, “full-grown” and killed in six weeks. Both are working to be more efficient, but it doesn’t look as good on a living being.

      Neither system is good imo, that’s why I think we should look at plant based meat alternatives instead, or just eat plants

        I agree, heavily vegetarian diets are the only way out of this mess. Whether it’s lab or farm, meat is still unethical and awful environmentally.
