That was an interesting read, thanks for the link!

But yeah, I had no idea it was so much worse for the environment. But it seems there's still the possibility it will be better one day, so I hope for the best. I guess in the meantime I'll stick with plant-based foods.

    Oh, I did see some of them later, but thank you for the heads-up!

    I noticed it wasn't peer-reviewed, but when they mentioned the process and I started to imagine all it must take to cultivate meat in a lab, it started to seem that it could be a lot worse for the environment than I had really considered, and it didn't seem implausible that it could be worse than farmed meat.

    Either way, at this point I would be willing to bet it definitely isn't as sustainable as just eating plant based food, so I'd rather stick with that for now; I'm accustomed to it already anyway.
