„Das Lieblingsessen der Menschheit“: Wie man der Viehwirtschaft ein Ende setzt, aber weiterhin Fleisch isst

The *Guardian* argues that humanity won’t give up meat voluntarily, consumption has risen for decades despite ethical and environmental concerns. The only realistic way to end the livestock industry is not persuasion, but replacement: making real meat that is indistinguishable in taste and experience, while being cheaper, cleaner, and more scalable. This mirrors past transitions where technology, not restraint, solved the problem, whales weren’t saved by asking people to stop using oil, but by technology making whale oil, and later other products, obsolete.

That shift is now starting in food. Cultivated meat and seafood, grown from cells rather than animals, are moving from research labs into factories and restaurants. Companies funded by Agronomics like Meatly (cultivated meat,) BlueNalu (cultivated seafood), and Clean Food Group (precision-fermented fats and ingredients) funded by Agronomics are tackling different parts of the same problem: decoupling meat and dairy from farming and fishing. The strategy is pragmatic, start with premium products where early costs make sense, prove safety and quality, then scale as production costs fall.

If this works, meat becomes an industrial product rather than an extractive one. Livestock farming and overfishing don’t disappear overnight, but gradually lose relevance as better substitutes take market share. Just as energy was decoupled from whales and transport from horses, food may be decoupled from animals altogether. The future of meat isn’t “less meat,” it’s the same meat, made in a fundamentally different way.

If only their wasn’t a answer.

Lab grown meat.

But that’s woke by murkan politicians and being outlawed.

I’m pretty sure cooked meat is the reason we are the apex species on this planet. So yea, let’s just stop doing that…. Some real 21st century insight there
