Steemit vegetarians, "deathless meat" is almost here...what do you think?

I thought your problem was with "strange" and "unnatural" foodstuffs. Now you say the problem is greedy corporations.

in the other you are creating something that does not (and cannot) exist in nature.

Artificial meat, if a replica of the animal tissue, does indeed already exist in nature, you would just be "simply facilitating nature in doing what it would do anyways," ie. grow muscle tissue. But now the semantic discussion of what is "natural" and "unnatural" is irrelevant as you admit that theoretically there's no reason to think that "natural" foodstuffs are better or worse. Your problem is with corporations and governments.

You make it seem as though it's impossible to have a problem with both... even though the one is created exclusively by the other...

Artificial meat, if a replica of the animal tissue, does indeed already exist in nature, you would just be "simply facilitating nature in doing what it would do anyways," ie. grow muscle tissue.

Except that nature only works in systems, and would never be creating muscle tissue outside of an organism that requires it to function.

But now the semantic discussion of what is "natural" and "unnatural" is irrelevant as you admit that theoretically there's no reason to think that "natural" foodstuffs are better or worse.

That's not what I said at all. You said that labs can produce healthy, safe food. I said that theoretically they can, though we have never seen it. Even if it had been what I said, that wouldn't make the argument of natural vs synthetic a non-issue.

Your problem is with corporations and governments.

Again, that is one problem. And since these laboratory-made food-replacements are only created by governments & corporations...

We also wouldn't have any need to look for ridiculous solutions like this if it wasn't for those corporations (governments are simply corporations with guns) creating the illusion that there isn't enough food readily available for everyone and forcing children to go to indoctrination camps that conveniently train them to think food must be "bought"

It's all good :-)

Every time I get into a heated discussion like this on Steemit, it reminds me how much better this platform is than the other social media options.

No name calling, nobody just walked away because someone disagreed, and we were able to refine our points back and forth to at least come to a better understanding of each others' points, if not agreement.
