What's the story behind the Sims 4 meat wall?
Hi there, I was just chatting with my vegan sister tonight, when she mentioned she's writing a book about cell-based meat! She asked me about my thoughts and input. Instantly, I was reminded of Eco...

As for the meat wall.. Well it seems kinda obvious to me: animal cruelty aside, the meat industry is the single largest contributing factor to global warming? Eco is the theme? Goes hand in hand..
Yes, blame it on the cows and meat industry. But no one is banning beans.
Most soy bean production is for feeding livestock, so it’s actually part of the meat industry.
I was actually referring to regular beans, not soy beans. But still there's a lot of soy in everything nowadays. Also, people managed food better when it wasn't so easily available and didn't eat meat with almost every meal. Maybe instead of lab grown meat, they should just eat less regular meat, like their grandparents used to do.
Eh. My only problem with meat is the environmental aspect. Grown meat is the ideal solution.
I don't think anyone properly assessed the effect industrially lab grown meat can possibly have on the environment and general health of the population.
Large scale, or even small scale, is just theoretical right now. But for your points... it's all about where the energy is coming from. Just like with electric cars for example: No matter if you are 100% electrical, if you use a coal plant to charge your car it is actually worse for the environment than a modern combustion engine. Same with this.
As for the health of the population? Not sure if I see the problem? I mean any health problems are self-inflicted and is more a matter of taxation and above all education. The BIG reason food-related diseases go up in "certain countries" is because of an economic policy that makes unhealthy fast food CHEAPER than healthy food.
