I've seen the video i have worked on farms it doesnt bother me terribly
The videos made me want stricter regulation, it didn't make me want to go vegan or cut down on meat.
But there are other reasons to be a little more conservative with meat in my diet.
I am of two minds on the topic. I am sitting here realizing that lab-grown meat and the meat-like alternatives are all, by definition, processed foods. Like, lab-grown meat is just going to end up being beef-like-Velveeta at the end of the day.
If you look into the history of processed foods and why we moved towards them they have some pretty disastrous consequences for our modern life.
I find it hard to understand the disconnect you must experience.
Its human nature to dissociate. You have different moral meters for different situations. I still think its important that these animals live and die in a comfortable environment but banning meat is not a solution.
I think it's important to be aware of the process of everything we consume, that way we can influence the impact our habits have.
