1. Why don't you just eat meat?

My favorite thing is meat that originates, not from animals, but from labs whose purpose is to make meat from sources where no animals need to be killed. Could that be the future of omnivores?

How is this different than so-called veggie burgers, which are not so much burgers, as something else out of some factory? (BTW, I love both real meat burgers and genuine imitation veggie burger type substance patties! My preference is the genuine article.)

Hoping for a humane substitution.

My best to you all.
