For years, there's been this divide. Vegans on one side, meat-eaters on the other. Both thinking the other group just doesn't get it.
And in a way, both are right. Vegans are right about the ethical problems with meat production. Meat-eaters are right that giving up meat is a big ask for most people.
I've lived on both sides. I used to love meat. Now I've been vegan for 13 years. I understand both perspectives.
That's why cultivated meat feels like such a breakthrough. It's not asking either side to compromise. Meat-eaters get real meat. Vegans get ethical production.
No more debates about whether people should give up meat. No more arguments about factory farming. Just the same product, made in a better way.
Sure, some will resist the change. Any new technology faces skepticism. But for the first time, we have a solution that could work for everyone.
Sometimes the best way to bridge a divide is to make it irrelevant.
