Following that logic, eating lab-grown meat will is also a behavior change. So, my point still stands.
My argument, which I have yet to state in this dialogue, is that lab grown meat offers the opportunity to provide an experience very similar to eating "real" meat at a lower cost to the consumer, thus making it a viable alternative in ways that today's current plant based meat substitutes aren't.
I am definitely open to plant based meat substitutes taking that role, but in their current form that would still require a large behaviour change by a large percentage of the population.
Now renewable energy is different discussion and that requires a much smaller number of people to make (albeit much larger) behaviour changes.
I don't have anything against people pursuing lab grown meat research. I'm just a bit pissed that "futuristic" solutions get so much more mainstream media attention than practical solutions that already have an impact today.
What’s your favourite plant based meat? I’ll try it next time I go get groceries.
Beyond Meat is also good, but I think Impossible is another ballgame.
Tofurkey also makes great cold cuts (haven't tried their bugers yet).
And then there are a bunch of smaller brands making great products, too. But it's a bit of a hit and miss with them, so you need to try a bunch to find something you like.
