    the lab grown meat thing is still so bizarre to me. Does meat actually taste good to people? I guess it must but it’s always been disgusting to me.

    Just give me a bean patty on my dumb american burger, it’s fine and better than anything resembling meat

          Eh, we’re all a little different. I honestly. I like carbs and oils, myself. Pastas, breads, rice. Granted, I’ve been cutting down on that myself. It would be nice to see a world where meat consumption would be drastically down. Heck, I keep waffling about going pescatarian within a few years.

      I enjoy vegetarian and bean based items, but they don’t taste like meat. Which makes sense since you don’t like meat. Still, what you’re portraying is a gross indifference(gross as in mass, not any judgement) to the fact that people have differences from your opinions/tastes.

      I don’t like the taste of: celery, blue cheese, pickles, some other pickled items, a lot of sweet stuff, tabasco sauce, surcalose, sweet coconut (I like savory coconut though) and a number of other edible items. Do I think it’s crazy other people enjoy that stuff? No, because I realize other people exist, have different opinions, tastes, and priorities than I do.

      My tastes do not make me superior to others; simply different. Stopped being shok0ed people aren’t you. You are neither the only person to exist, nor are you more important than others who exist. You are you, and I am me. And they are them. I am also not more important than any other existence, and neither are they.

          My apologies, I misinterpreted your tone. I didn’t want to give anyone a sense of isolation, but rather an acceptance of inclusion. We’re all weird in different ways, but we’re all weird togther in different ways.

      Where did you eat lab grown meat? Impossible burgers (and other foods) are not lab grown. They’re plant based meat emulations. Lab grown meat is not really on the market anywhere. I think there was a trial in Israel with chicken, but I haven’t heard of any others.

          Oh, that’s fair. Personally, I love the taste of meat. There’s tons of ethical reasons to avoid it besides taste, but I, and clearly many others, do enjoy the taste. It’s probably for the best that you don’t though. I wish I didn’t.
