Lab grow all meats. Problem solved. Too bad Trump and his stupid MAGA base are against it. Timeline blows.
Why would a capitalist company making fake beef be any less inclined to upcharge on fake beef compared to real beef?
They both have lines that must go up.
Sure, but if no one can afford to buy artificially inflated real meat prices, that's a good reason to sell fake beef at a price where people can afford it.... And THEN you start to increase the price of that too, but only once a Democrat is president so people can freak out like they did with egg prices
It's not like it's on store shelves. It has to exist in the realm of reality before the public can weigh in to determine its corporate viability/profitability.
It's available in at least 1 restaurant. But it is also completely outlawed in at least 2 states with more trying to ban it.
? How is it outlawed? First time I hear this 😱
It's been made illegal to sell in Florida and Alabama and Texas is about to follow suit.
7 states. Blame the huge corporate Ag industry lobbying against it.

the biggest issue is that there's no vegan, or even affordable alternative.
so that's like using a full can of high grade foie gras to make a sliver of "vegan" duck breast.
original typo was "Fuck breast", and i debated leaving it there
