The meat industry is super destructive, and necessitates a large portion of the entire planet's arable land being used.
Without even referencing the fact that there are billions of animals being essentially tortured and slaughtered every day across the globe, there are very clear reasons to embrace cultivated meat. We could free up truly enormous tracts of land that could revert to whole worlds of recovered green spaces - meaning biodiversity buffers and carbon sequestering. All very important things, even if you're as much of an absolute moron as super Nintendo and declare that global warming is a myth- which it of course isn't- there's still very good reasons to move toward cultured animal protein production.
The technology isn't there yet, but it will be and the sooner the better. If you had a slab of manufactured meat on your countertop right now, you probably wouldn't need to refrigerate it abd you probably wouldn't have yo ve very careful cleaning up after preparing and cooking it because virtually all of the harmful microorganisms associated with raw meat are because of fecal contamination. Grow animal protein without all the other unwanted parts of the animal (like fur, excretory systems, etc.) And you've produced only what you want without any of the metaphorical and literal shit you don't want.
It's the way forward. This is a clear cut example of big business Republicans greedily handicapping an emergent industry because of existing business interests having their hands on the political levers
