He's also strangely against lab grown meat.. which I just flat out don't understand. It's unproven on whether or not it's even economically viable... and PA is famous for scrapple. So I mean.. calling anything else slop is confusing.
Why wouldn’t it be economically viable?
Because it’s vegan or meat free. Everything sold at grocery stores that are meat free prepared proteins are hugely overpriced, making them unaffordable for most families.
I just had an impossible burger i made at home, the 2 impossible meat patties cost $10. Which is absurdly expensive. Vegan chicken burgers are similar. Vegan bacon costs 3x the price of regular bacon. Same with vegan lunch meats.
So lab grown meat will most certainly be overpriced and not appealing to regular people and families who can’t afford premium prices
If you're vegan for ethical reasons, lab grown meat is fine. If you're vegan because limiting your animal protein has health benefits, lab grown meat is still not okay.
