> but if lab-grown meat is proven to be a safe and cost/energy/carbon efficient alternative to raising and killing animals, then it would be insane to not pursue that.

You the city people are so cocky in teaching me the village guy about how to live the life.

What if I do not want my meat addiction to be controlled by some big corps? For example, they may decide to put in their meat products something I do not want to be put. At least I can grow my food as I like it to be grown and I can kill it in the way I find reasonable (for example, I might like some products from blood and I might use a lot of animal fat). And last but not least, different parts of animal body has totally different taste which might be hard to simulate - that's why I'm sure that nothing will force me to stop holding cattle before end of my life.

How is allowing it, forcing you?

He's talking that I'm insane if I will keep killing my cattle after "allowing" me to have safe and carbon efficient meat substitutes.

I didn’t say you shouldn’t be allowed to raise cattle. You should absolutely be allowed.

I said it would be insane to prohibit what is potentially a better alternative, just because some people raise cattle.
