> They are going to drive up the cost of real meat and other livestock

How will they do this, exactly?

Also, isn't the cost of real meat too low as it is? It hasn't priced in climate externalities that other people (including non-meat-eaters) have to pay for. Shouldn't meat include all of its costs, not just the ones paid by the farmers?

Easy. Heavily regulate the farmers with climate regulations including carbon taxes. Or pass emissions laws like they have in the Netherlands which would force ranchers to downsize their herds. This would drive up cost to produce and scarcity of the product.

As for the second part of your comment I truly am not sure what you're talking about? It seems like your sentiment confirms the first part of my answer.

Who cares? You're a single person and no one is forcing you to eat bugs, fungi, or fake meat.

These products are for the many millions of people who prefer an inexpensive alternative to meat.

Totally not true. They are going to drive up the cost of real meat and other livestock in the name of "climate change" and force regular people to opt for cheaper sources of food such as algae proteins, fake "meat", cricket flour, etc. Why do you think Bill Gates has invested heavily in this field? He is a monopolist first and technologist after.

They will find out the truth soon enough. I'm glad some on HN still have some sense.

For obvious reasons, I don’t think this is a reliable source for such a claim by any means.
_yoqn · 3 years ago
It's not obvious. What do you mean?

Would you consider lobster or crab, bugs?

Crustaceans aren't insects.

Are you opting out of all future cultural and technological changes, or just these very specific ones?
_yoqn · 3 years ago
I'm opting out of sneaky ways to lower the standard of living for the population of the free world. Steak > Beyond Meat junk. Bacon > fungus. Chicken/Fish > crickets.

What about lab-grown meat?

Repulsive.

I tried the Beyond Meat ground beef substitute once to see if it would work in tacos. Stunk up my house with a weird smell, tasted off even with all the spices, and made us all feel a bit sick after. No wonder their stock is tanking. Humans are meant to eat real meat, we evolved this way.

I absolutely agree with you. It seems like HN was once full of thoughtful people grounded in good sense. Now I can see there's a lot more "embrace the future" in support of The Next Thing thrown at us plebes from the authoritarian establishment.

Fake meat made of hyper-processed plant materials are NOT meat and who knows what long term health effects would result from someone subsisting solely on that kind of food.

Human beings evolved to eat whole plants and meat. We generally find eating insects repulsive for a reason, just as we don't generally like hearing the sound of someone vomiting because it means illness is nearby. In my case I am listening to my gut and I will resist all efforts to get me to eat crickets for my protein while driving up the cost of beef so high it can only be afforded by the rich.

A free man with any dignity does not prefer crickets over meat or pretend fungus is bacon.

Then they don’t want to continue this conversation because they don’t want to internalise what they’re feeling and REALLY actually think about their choices because if I think I might have to change, and then comes the very human feeling of “I don’t want to change” or “that’s not who I am” as if it’s bad to grow and change as a person.

I have to say I don't want to continue the conversation because your reply is incomprehensible. This isn't about touchy feely internal reflection.

All heavily marketed "trends" are predetermined to forward an ultimate agenda from the permanent elite class. Bill Gates doesn't want you eating beef and pork. He wants you eating his fake "meat" so they can shut down the livestock industry to save Mother Gaia from global warming.

The AMA recommends against red meat because it's high in saturated fats. It's never been proven that saturated fats are the cause of atherosclerosis.

Is this a conspiracy? Yes. But it's not a theory, the evidence is all around.

I watch a lot of survival/catch/clean/cook videos on youtube just in case.
