How is the legality of residential chicken breeding relevant to this discussion on the environmental impact of lab-grown meat?

I responded to bs about so-called animal suffering. The logics is simple: if we have lab-grown meat than there is a probability that the owner of the lab starts lobbying refusal of eating animals somehow. We live in a world of feelings (SJW, metoo, *gate) so every time I meet such discussion in a lab-grown meat topics I feel an urge to remind about possible suffering of butchers.

Off topic, but what am I saying that's "bitter fringe lunatic cultist talk"? Trying to understand where you're coming from

> World population is going to fall precipitously by the end of the century. That would be too late. Are you aware about the amount the destruction we cause? Without functioning ecosystems our civilization will perish, 100%. Some think we have 50 years, some are expecting the collapse any day now.

I'm not sure what your "not muh eggs!" story has anything to do with a discussion about animal ag industry and scaling meat production to global levels. For example, how much do your backyard chickens contribute to global egg consumption, and what would the egg market look like if all eggs came from chickens living like yours? That's the kind of topic going on here.

Animals converting plants to meat/protein is more efficient than humans directly eating an entirely plant based diet.

The skepticism comes from a keen awareness that technology is not a solution in itself. You've made a common logical fallacy; it is true that factory farming and solar panels can solve specific problems. But measuring the progress of the proposed solution doesn't measure its effectiveness at solving the fundamental problem at scale. Nor does it prove that the technology is appropriate or necessarily better than alter…
