Here is an intelligent way to address greenhouse gas emissions without giving money to non-producers with carbon taxes and carbon credit mandates. It also (1) reduces the price of meat because the producer does not pay to grow an entire animal, (2) eliminates all animal cruelty issues because no animals are involved, and (3) replaces dangerous meat packing factory jobs with high-wage chemical industry jobs. It is also conceivable that better meat (in terms of cholesterol and animal fats) can be grown than raised. I don’t see any downside to this.
Meat Grown in Israeli Bioreactors Is Coming to American Diners
Meat production produces about 14.5% (almost 1/7) of greenhouse gas emissions in the form of methane produced by bovine digestive processes. This means that bioreactor-grown meat (and also bioreactor-produced milk) would eliminate 14.5% of the emissions AND reduce meat prices while delivering higher wages.
