This and mushroom cultivation is always what I imagined we would need to switch to, to prevent a collapse of our systems. Food production is the only thing required to keep most of us alive, and our food production methods have killed everything else on this planet and now it’s getting to us.

It’s absolutely terrifying though, because it is hard to ever see a plan on this scale come to fruition locally, nationally, let alone globally. People won’t trust it, won’t give up their land, livelihood and traditions. The push back from governments, corporations and anyone they can rally will stall this solution until it again too late.

I think you are overestimating the power farmers have. Major meat distributors are the ones who make contracts with farmers in order to get the meat. If major meat distributor's change their ways, farmers have no power to object

I think there is good reason for optimism on this. It's not just steaks, it's everything that uses anything derived from animals. Things that won't get any pushback because people won't notice it happened. It'll be cheaper to use fermentation, which means every corporation that makes food will use it for everything they can.

This alone is more than enough to send the animal agriculture industry into a death spiral. It doesn't matter what people think, the choice is going to be made for them. Unless they raise animals themselves they're going to get their protein from precision fermentation. Soon.

That’s true… but money talks. If this is cheap, it can spread fast and take root well enough to reduce how much people are buying traditional food. And then if profits for traditional food fall, say, 50%…

The same brain damage that also made him an antivaxxer, presumably. Somehow clicking through to someone's comment history is never surprising.
