So do we agree humans are just animals as well and we are already in the process of thinning the herd, with C19.
H5N4 60% death rate.

Probably not on a scale enough to change our destiny.

I have a feeling culturing meat protein is actually worse for the environment. Whatever fucked up chemicals and shit they use to create that shit has to be twice as bad as naturally produced methane converted from grass which also gets turned back into a similar state at some point

And I actually really like most mammals, but man is beef delicious

Pure hearsay. I'm not saying you are necessarily wrong, but there is no basis to conclude that you are right. We need data. I am more optimistic: nothing humans do is ever entirely *without* an environmental impact, but I believe industrial level production of cultured meat will have less of an impact than agricultural production. This is also hearsay, but I have supporting points:

1. No need for pastures. Pastures are a huge problem on their own, grassland is not sufficient to tackle the carbon dioxide levels we will have to deal with in the near future, maintenance of the grass is another source of pesticides and a waste of precious water.

2. No need for animal feed. The shit we supplement our cattle's diet with would give you nightmares. We got hoof and mouth *and* mad cow disease from feeding cows back to themselves (yes, prion diseases originate from cannibalising brains). It's a heavily polluting industry all its own.

3. No more methane byproduct. This is what everyone is focused on, but honestly it's just the tip of the iceberg. No one talks about the nitrates put into 5he soil and ground water from feces and urine, etc. Chicken waste is a known source of environmental disaster.

1. Grasslands are actually natural and do not hurt the environment

2. Feed certainly does result in pollution but you CAN feed cows natural diet, like a grassland

3. The methane they produce is a natural amount, it was in the ecosystem very close to the state that they set it in unlike chemical alterations of a product, like a cultured meat

>>1876
1. Pastures are not grasslands, and they are not natural; not for a long time now.

2. Yeah, we could, but we don't, because money.

3. You just stopped right after that first sentence, like all the sentences after it predicted that you would.

>>1878
Still goes off the waste idea, my point stands on all three

1. Anything grown naturally, even farmland, is natural

2. You are technically agreeing with point 1 in this, but the money is not really a factor, space is. Organics actually sell for more

3. Waste is not an unnatural product, it changes back into the materials used to feed the cow after time

You're just pretending to be retarded right?

Excellent trolling, would get trolled again, 0/10.

No one could fool you Niles

One wonders if Snowden regrets throwing away his life to warn ungrateful Americans about unconstitutional NSA wire-tapping.
