The Technology That ‘Could Turn The World Vegan’: Precision fermentation could help the world move away from animal agriculture

Submission Statement: Precision fermentation is a groundbreaking technology spotlighted by Mic the Vegan, promising a shift from traditional animal agriculture to producing animal proteins, fats, and nutrients without actual animals. This advancement could herald a largely vegan world, addressing ethical and environmental issues linked to traditional farming methods. Let’s discuss how precision fermentation might reshape food production, its potential to gain public acceptance, and its implications for the future of global food sustainability and animal welfare. What are the technological, ethical, and economic challenges it faces, and how might they be overcome in the pursuit of a more sustainable and ethical food system?
Huh. Could be interesting, as long as the companies making this stuff don’t devolve into Monsanto level evil.
He looks like he’s made of plastic, like a doll come to life.
Still, I’m all for advanced ways of making food provided it is properly examined for safety – I’m already 1% lead, 1% PFA’s and 1% microplastics so I don’t need anything else in my body.
Maybe for the poor class or lower middle class I’ll still provide high quality “natural” meat at our local farm.
Pretty cool if they can get it to taste right. Maybe lose some of the saturated fats.
No sane person wants to be vegan. Yes, famous people and celebs are vegan, but doesn’t make them sane.
I won’t consider this a viable tech until I see meat industry lobbyists actively trying to block it.
It is “easy” to shift to being vegetarian/vegan without complicated food substitution. Stop paying subsidies of meat and dairy. Let people pay the actual price for the commodities, include oil in there.
