We should be decreasing the amount of meat sold and consumed, not increasing it.
Why?
I’m aware of four main groups of reasons that people commonly want to reduce or eliminate the eating of meat: [ol]
[li]Reducing animal suffering caused by us. [/li][li]Reducing resource use and pollution impact of the meat industry. [/li][li]Reducing ill effects on our bodily health caused by eating meat.[/li][li]Following the dictates of a religion.[/li][/ol]These reasons are pretty much orthogonal: you can believe one without believing any of the others. Which do you believe?
I’m most inclined to go with 2 for a reason, followed by 1, then 3. (4 does not apply to me.)
People who only believe 1 would reject factory farming and prefer hunted meat, and I do not see that synthetic meat, should it be available, would be objectionable to them. Or voluntarily-given human meat.
People who only believe 2 would reject factory farming and allow the price of non-factory-raised or hunted meat to rise to match its scarcity. Depending on the resources required and pollution emitted, they might or might not support the manufacture of synthetic meat. But logically they ought to support anything that reduces the impact of humanity on the earth, including meat-related acts that would reduce our numbers.
People who only believe 3 wouldn’t distinguish meat based on its source; all meats would be suspect based on their bodily effects.
And I can’t really speak about people who only believe 4; that would depend on the religion involved.
Of course, this ignores any emotional ‘ick’ factors involved. Which is a great omission, certainly.
You’re expecting to watch your corpse being consumed? How does that work?
Make soup.
Are you taking reservations and can you forward me a menu ?
May I modestly propose an Irish inspired dish? Something swiftly cooked, as opposed to stewed, roasted, baked, boiled, fricasied, or a ragoust.
CMC fnord!
Stir-fried motorcyclist, with little potatoes.
I’d do this if I could decide who has to eat my dick. Better yet, I can think of a couple people with whom I could form a consortium. We would get together and have our dicks frozen. Then when the last of us dies, the person we chose (who, being the soulless piece of shit he was would probably still be alive) would ‘get’ to eat our bag-o-dicks.
I just hope clowns don’t take you up on this offer of voluntary cannibalism.

I hear they taste funny.
I see what you did there.
Sunspace, for me, it is number 1.
thankfully you don’t get to make that decision for anyone but yourself.
They would know which dick was DeltaSigmas. It would be the one biter.
it’s not just about having to kill someone, but also the ick factor that you might find me tasty. literally.
I admit I’m probably not like you and need to reel it in like a fire hose. I only have to tuck it into my sock.
So that’s another vote for “socks on” I guess.
I laughed and spit all over the place. Thank you for that.
