I became vegan for the animals. The environmental benefits were just a bonus. But they're becoming harder to ignore.
Traditional meat production is incredibly inefficient. Massive amounts of land, water and energy just to feed animals until they're big enough to slaughter.
Then there's the methane, the deforestation, the water pollution. It's a system that made sense when we were feeding small populations, but struggles to scale.
Cultivated meat could change all that. Growing only the meat we need, without the resource-heavy process of raising whole animals.
No more clearing rainforests for grazing land. No more feeding crops to livestock instead of people. No more methane from billions of cows.
The technology itself isn't perfect yet. Current production methods are energy-intensive. But that's typical of any new technology - it improves with scale and innovation.
For the first time, we can see a future where eating meat doesn't cost the Earth.
That's worth supporting, whether you care about animals or not.
