Lab grown meat reduces the need for farms with livestock living in crowded areas and creating greenhouse gasses such as methane

It is generally unbiased, and presents both sides of the argument. It would be very useful in supporting my argument whether I choose to support or argue against lab grown meat. However, the article mainly focuses on the logistics of NOT eating meat rather the ethics of eating meat. Therefore I would need more articles concerning the ethics of meat eating if I were to use this article.

The fact that there is a desire to create lab-grown meat in the first place demonstrates that there is some need and demand to switch away from traditional sources of meat. You could use the information in the article to compare/contrast lab-grown meat and natural meat in order to highlight the problems that come the consumption of natural, traditional meat. ]]> 2019-02-25 22:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/19mramon50406/t3h3mnie3n8b/wish/335123201
