will probably get more talk time in the next few years as wider exposure
seems unavoidable considering the global food crisis and current environmental challenges (global warming, deforestation, species extinction, air and water pollution, and resource scarcity).
A lot of the activists who tend to resist the idea of cultured meat are abolitionists who follow
Gary Francione's abolitionist approach and/or James LaVeck's superb work.
This website was designed mainly for them but not only for them.
It presents maybe a on the subject of cultured meat

Some of its material
may seem harsh or insulting to readers who do not understand the logic behind Animal Rights & veganism.
If you are one of those readers, please keep in mind this "insulting" is nothing compared to the pain and suffering farm animals go through in factory farms.
Health & Environment activists who acknowledge the importance of cultured meat

where the health & environmentalal aspects of meat-eating are being addressed at length.
