It won’t destroy farming, it will just encourage farmers to use their land for different purposes. We still need to eat fruit, vegetables, and grains.

The land use required to rear cattle is phenomenal, not to mention the carbon footprint associated with the animals. This is more than just “marketing”.

Yes, we need less cattle 100%, but this product is more like to be just taking another CEO for a fun ride to space, than «saving» the planet. Is important not to be naive. We need to go green but we need to make sure the green wave is really green. Not just more money for the rich guys.
