Sounds too extreme to me
I was so surprised by the idea of in-vitro meat. And even disgusted. To me, creating in-vitro meat to not eat the real meat sounds very weird and ironic. So we are going to create another gigantic industry of in-vitro meat to go "organic"?! Sounds like we would be creating the same amount of waste or even more. Sorry if I am sounding sarcastic and dramatic here, but I don't know who thought of in-vitro meat in the first place. Can you imagine yourself chewing and eating artificial fiber created by other humans in the labs instead of real meat? Why would we want to make ourselves do that?
Human nature has never changed. If we are tired, we sleep. If we are hungry, we eat. Although some things in humanity have changed, I believe it's human behavior that has changed, not human nature. I believe that human nature is something intrinsic, something all humans have been born with throughout generations.
But maybe we are now challenging human nature with our technology because we now have technology that we think is advanced "enough." If it happens, I think it's going to have a very ugly ending, like everything else that resulted due to ignorant human thoughts.
