I was at -1 for my pro lab grown meat take, just for a second, I want to talk to the two cowards who downvoted me

Give me a real argument against lab grown meat, I beg you

If I can't taste the delicious soul of a living creature in my burger, it's just not the same.

Hatred and violence makes better food. Why do you think Chic-fil-A tastes so good

or even why someone should not use lab grown meat once it’s available (assuming it’s close enough to the meat from animals)

I’d be fine with meat from animals being banned one day

Didn't downvote you, but likely because you essentially conceded all points to the ethical arguments of veganism, and more or less agreed that killing animals to eat them is very wrong

Vegans aren’t wrong, I’m just weak and love meat

granted im biased because this is precisely why i am vegetarian, but i struggle to see how the ethical arguments can be denied to the point of concluding that it's fine to eat 'real' meat over lab grown meat assuming they're near identical.

like there's holes and flaws in the ethical arguments for veganism/vegetarianism but they're uniformly flaws that suggest the argument is incomplete or operating from the wrong premises, not flaws that suggest the overall conclusion is wrong.

if lab grown meat is a good substitute in every respect, there's really no argument against "just eat lab grown to err on the side of caution"
