Non factory farming. Prices will go up and this would be a good thing in addition to treating the animals in a more moral way.

That's the secret, you don't have to replace it. It doesn't produce food, it takes in food and turns it into less but different food. So yeah, plants. It's painful, but we've gone beyond what we can do on this planet.

#36Maybe, just maybe, we should ease off on the factory farming...
It’s just such a shame all 8 billion earthlings are so addicted to food!
People can either eat straight up plant-based food, or alternatively go for lab grown meat. There's no need to go through all the inefficiency and suffering of factory farms.

There's more alt-milks than I can count. While cow's milk obviously is used to produce other things, we can drastically reduce the need for it by moving to other kinds of milk for the liquid-consumption part.
Which of those alt milks are produced using biodiversity supporting practices? Oat? Soy? Almond?

#39Does anyone know if consuming milk containing viral material confers any level of immunity?
Probably not. Unless you have ulcers or open wounds in your mouth/trachea, virus will be digested and destroyed in stomach acid.
