Changing my diet in the beginning of 2020 saved me from debilitating back pain, nerve pain, joint pain, muscle pain, digestive issues, raised blood pressure, 20kg over weight. It took around 8 months for all these problems to resolve. I'm completely pain free and never felt and looked healthier. I'm only eating fatty meats, seafood, eggs and dairy. Prior to that I was eating the mainstream version of a healthy diet (lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains, low fat, eating the rainbow etc) for decades and watching my health slowly decline.

Very interesting and thought-provoking video. Thank you for creating these documentaries. Still, I am surprised to find that I lost my appetite in the first 10 minutes of watching and the thought of eating fake meat from chicken stem cells. As much as I love being healthy and vegetables, I will not be able to stomach fake meat. Mock meat made from tofu or soybeans is fine. Question: where is this immortal chicken?
This,is not a documentary, this is propaganda. Artificial meat, while often celebrated as a solution to ethical and environmental concerns, cannot rival natural meat in terms of nutritional value, digestibility, and biological compatibility. Natural meat provides essential nutrients such as heme iron, vitamin B12, zinc, and complete proteins in forms that are highly bioavailable and optimized for human absorption. These nutrients work synergistically with trace compounds like taurine, creatine, and carnosine, contributing to metabolic health, cognitive function, and muscle performance. Artificial alternatives, whether lab-grown or plant-based, struggle to replicate this nutritional complexity, and even with supplementation, they often lack the same bioavailability or functionality. The human digestive system, fine-tuned by millions of years of evolution, is designed to process natural animal proteins and fats with optimal efficiency. Artificial meat introduces novel compounds, stabilizers, and processing agents that may interact differently with human biology, leading to potential disparities in digestion and nutrient absorption. Even when artificial meat mimics the nutrient profile of natural meat, it often falls short in how those nutrients are absorbed and utilized. This highlights a fundamental limitation: replicating the structure of meat in a lab does not guarantee it will function identically within the human body. Beyond nutrition, the flavor and texture of natural meat are a testament to its complexity. The intricate interplay of muscle fibers, fats, and connective tissues creates a sensory experience that artificial meat struggles to replicate. From the depth of flavor achieved through natural processes like the Maillard reaction to the unique textures of marbled meats, the sensory satisfaction of natural meat remains unparalleled. Cultural and biological factors further reinforce this preference, as meat has been an integral part of human diets and traditions for millennia. While proponents of artificial meat tout its environmental and ethical advantages, the practical reality is more nuanced. The production of lab-grown meat relies on energy-intensive technologies and synthetic growth media, which may not be as sustainable as advertised. Similarly, plant-based meat alternatives often depend on large-scale monoculture farming, which can have significant environmental downsides, such as deforestation and soil depletion. In contrast, regenerative agricultural systems that incorporate natural meat production can provide a more balanced and sustainable approach. Ultimately, artificial meat cannot escape its inherent limitations. Despite moral arguments aimed at reducing animal suffering, science underscores that natural meat is biologically superior. The evolution of human physiology has optimized our ability to digest and thrive on natural meat, making it an irreplaceable source of nutrition. Artificial alternatives may serve as supplements or niche products, but they fall short of replicating the comprehensive benefits and deeply ingrained role of natural meat in human health and culture.

It's not likely that these highly processed foods are going to be good for you. You can eat amazingly healthy and tasty vegan food without resorting to this frankenstein food.

I honestly don’t understand why vegans/vegetarian’s are always striving to make something that tastes like meat. If you prefer to not eat meat, then don’t try to make believe. Enjoy your veggies. Virtually every person I’ve come across makes the same statement. I grew up in an organic hippie household and quite frankly everyone that was pure vegetarian always looked undernourished, stringy hair, bad gums. Imitation meat is the absolute dumbest thing I’ve heard of. Its counter intuitive, enjoy you freaking veggies in their natural form. Eat your tofu as tofu. Both are delicious. Especially with a big chunk of rare beef
It's very simple. Many veges (inc. me) used to eat meat and liked the taste of it. However, after coming to grips with the cruelty of animal farming (especially factory farming), decided they can't be a part of this abusive system, morally. Foods that taste like meat, but don't come from killing or confining animals, are great for those veges. Hopefully that helps.
@ I understand that to one reason. but my point is regardless , you’re fooling yourself. There are several ways to get animal protein without cruelty. As usual you didn’t pay attention to the entirety of my post. As “natural “ or organic hippies we lived off grid, this included hunting, fishing , and foraging for natural greens. So your simplistic argument about it being simple fades away…..keep it real please.
I think you're missing it, dude! Vegans are making fake meat for the people can't become vegan because of the taste of it. No vegan needs meat. This is a conversion endeavor.
@@AlexHanna.esquireits because you havent educated yourself on chemical science and dont understand that all the chemicals that are in meat come from plants. For instance- fermented onions create the same molecules found in sausage.. You can get the same saturated fats in animal products from concentrated vegetable oils .. You are just uneducated, so you think to try to shift the blame off yourself and point fingers at other people- its a very predictable response from people who are brainwashed by eating animal products. Its also a predictable response that you will now create some other excuse. You are an addict, unfortunately, and you are going to struggle to come to terms with your part in unnecessary animal abuse. And the world will be worse for it.
One vegan told me that it's not meat that tastes good, it's the stuff we flavor it with and how we cook it that makes it taste good. Plain, unseasoned meat is actually pretty gross. Try just boiling a chicken leg with no seasonings and it will be barely edible. She said you can flavor plant products and make them taste just as savory.
Of course you would Put the Future of your Kids and next Generation in the grave with your own mouth and knowing Future Results...but.... your smell of Sense and Stonage thoughts make your own thoughts Just to make the right Things for you... what ever it takes
The lion eats the meat raw the way we eat fruit and veggies and doesn't eat people food like hotdogs or French fries, so if you eat meat , eat it raw like a tiger ( just take a bite out of it)
I cooked it and while the texture was a bit off, a little bit of barbecue sauce made it taste amazing.. id definitely eat it again.. and i didnt even marinate it .. Plus, dont worry, there are advances coming down the pipe line that will make it even better.. Imagine if meat companies but there money towards advancing alternative meat development instead of needlessly killing animals and the planet?
As your statement reads, factory farming is inappropriate they're confused because rooting for the mistreatment of animals is a reflection of your character
@@eggplantandpeach processed meat is a known carcinogen according to the World Health Organization. The plant-based versions of processed meat often taste as good and some are hard to tell the difference.
Lab meat is healthier than animal stock. Farmed animals ingest microplastics are pumped with antibiotics & often prove itself to be dangerous for consumption when pathogens are considered.
Odd question to ask considering the processed meat most of the world eats is considered a grade A carcinogen. Non-lab meat isn't healthy, doesnt seem to stop people eating it though.
Testing artificial meat with salt rather than sauce is essential for a fair and accurate comparison of its true qualities against natural meat. Salt, as a basic seasoning, enhances the inherent flavors of the meat without masking or altering them. Sauces, on the other hand, are complex flavoring agents designed to dominate or transform the taste of the meat they accompany. By using sauces in taste tests, we introduce external variables that obscure the intrinsic qualities of the artificial meat, preventing a genuine meat-to-meat comparison. Natural meat has a distinctive flavor profile shaped by its fat content, amino acids, and other natural compounds that develop through processes like the Maillard reaction. Salt interacts with these elements, amplifying the meat’s authentic taste and highlighting its natural umami notes without overwhelming them. Testing artificial meat with salt alone allows us to evaluate whether its flavor profile can genuinely mimic or compete with that of natural meat. If artificial meat cannot stand on its own when seasoned with only salt, it fails to replicate the core attributes that define meat’s unique flavor. Sauces, in contrast, introduce a wide range of additional flavors-sweet, sour, spicy, or tangy-that can overpower the meat’s inherent taste. While sauces are an important culinary tool, they are meant to enhance or transform the dining experience rather than reveal the meat’s foundational qualities. Relying on sauces in comparisons could allow artificial meat to “hide” its shortcomings behind the strength of the added flavors, making it an unfair assessment. Moreover, testing with salt reflects how many people assess meat in its simplest, purest form, such as in grilling, roasting, or other traditional cooking methods where the meat itself takes center stage. If artificial meat aims to replace or rival natural meat, it must demonstrate that it can deliver comparable or superior flavor when prepared with minimal enhancement. This approach not only respects the integrity of the comparison but also establishes a baseline standard for evaluating the product’s standalone quality. To truly evaluate whether artificial meat can match or surpass natural meat, it must succeed in the simplest test: standing on its own with just a pinch of salt.
40:55 you don't need to produce meat for 10 billion people no everybody eats meat we Indians mostly are vegetarian and those eat meats only eats chicken in India very few people eat big meat and cows are sacred here so no beef . I don't know as a vegetarian why I'm watching this video
The seething hatred of the very IDEA of food which doesn't require farms, animals, or recalls due to salmonella contamination is fascinating. Plant-based burgers taste fine. But, until the people at Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat get the price down to under a dollar an ounce, it's going to be a cute luxury item. It's the Tesla of food products.
I will substitute my meats if the substitutes contains the same nutrients as my meats. Like.. B12. Creatine. Carnitine. Carnosine. heme iron. DHA/EPA (fish). Taurine..
A few companies have the taste and texture figured out, but the prices are still an obstacle. Example: at a dollar an ounce (!), an Impossible Burger is an overpriced luxury item. A pound of hamburger is $4.00 - 8.00. On my last trip to the grocery store, $8.00 was the price of two 4oz. Impossible Burger patties. Disclaimer: I'm a vegetarian who misses the taste of meat. But, there are billions of TH-cam videos showing how to make a tasty and AFFORDABLE alternative. Best wishes from Vermont - where we have hunting seasons and cows aren't just for decoration ❄️💙❄️
@DegreesOfThree Take your own advice. Fake does not mean "artificial" in the dictionary. It does however use plenty of adjective & noun precursors that indicate the use of "fake" in bias. You might have brain cancer from all that animal carcinogen you've been eating. See a doctor
@ Your documentaries are on another level. I was extremely against this idea and would curse anybody who thought of it. Your well-tailored documentary opened my eyes and challenged my beliefs. Thank you
spontaneously immortalized, in living beings we call that cancer lol I will try this stuff, but thought that marketing speak was pretty funny and somewhat dystopian scifi haha
I'm Not sure, if it's gonna really work as it's shown. But stem cell which also causes cancer, so could it be possible that we can get cancer after eating this kinda meat 🍖?🤷♂️
Eating stem cells that causes cancer will not give you cancer. The whole process of digestion will destroy any malignant process so it is perfectly safe
Youre not educated enough to have remembered "canine" teeth. Those were were for piercing fruit rinds and those incisors you mentioned are for scraping away the rind. It's hilarious when practicing carnivores attempt to use our teeth as proof when it's completely the opposite every time. 😂
The oldest continuous cultures on this planet are all primary hunters with plant material being secondary. With the greater sapiens family line eating meat for 4 million years. Sorry Vegans but that's the facts.
As a carnivore, I found this documentary absolutely fascinating! I'd like to try the high protein bacterial powder when it goes commercial. If it's as good (for us) as they say and was abundantly available in food stores, I'd be willing to give up meat.
They are crazy indeed. They will put blame on peasants but not themselves . They say we cause climate change by using firewood yet its them cutting natural forest and sale timber so they can have cash sitting in their accounts
It’s not that. It’s that the gazelle lives a normal life until it gets taken out and eaten. A chicken from the time it’s born lives in an assembly line until it’s killed. All meat assembly lines are completely cruel. Animals are forced fed, packed together like sardines, rarely see sunlight and then brutally killed.
We humans have this thing called morals, which animals don't, right? We can connect the dots and understand that killing animals for food might be necessary but not an ideal thing. If we can change to something that doesn't kill or torture animals, why not?
I love the Maier family farm story , It must be horrible to pick which few unlucky of the herd have to be sacrificed for population control though but in a perfect world I wish everyone thought this way but how can they possibly afford to sustain these cattle for the remainder of their natural life ? Which brings me to another question I've always wondered which is , can we safely consume an animal which has died of natural causes or in cases of injury. Or exposure to elements?
Fake meat is not necessary to eat a diet free of slaughtered victims. You could eat a whole food plant-based diet which is ideal for your health, the environment, and other factors which make animal agriculture so detrimental.
'Hunting is controversial, even if it's crucial to wildlife management' As far as I'm aware wildlife was managing just fine before we invented guns to shoot it with.
Hunting os why you are here. If humans didnt hunt, they would bot survive, and you would never have been born. Do you also think animals that hunt other animals for food, are bad or wrong 😂 its called survival. Something you obviously know nothing about
@@Fatman311 Well for one thing we were using our hands, rocks, traps, spears, arrows, and stampede techniques to hunt for millenia before firearms. For another firearms weren't invented for hunting. And for yet another, just to use deer in America for an example, hunting helps to control populations much better than predation, which is a pretty awful way to go, so that overpopulation doesn't lead to a slow lingering deletion from starvation which is inarguably a much much much worse way to go.
First, it's not controversial. It's the most natural way to obtain food. People were hunting for hundreds of thousands of years. Controversial is today meat production.
In absence of natural predators Humans must check herbivore numbers, this is basic ecology. So its either guns, or you except that little Timmy may get eaten by a Bear. These are the only viable options for this future of yours.
After Tens of thousands of years of using animals in every way to survive and thrive-let’s say Thankyou by eliminating all forms of industrial farming of animals-respect to the rare person who thru skill takes an animal,and uses every aspect in the pursuit of survival-this is the opposite of a drive up meal.With exception for cultural historical preservation and other 1st person tactical hunting,it’s far past time to end the outrageous inefficient practice of animal farming forever-
Or.. just buy local meat, from animals eating grass in europe. Not on ex-rainforest land in Brazil (which is were those calculations stem from). Its very simple!
Look at your kitchen and everything in there is designed or enhanced in a lab. But this can really solve so many problems for our species. Price of food could go down, food security, less pollution, more drinking water, more land for homes. There is more to gain than we lose from this tech.
People's hypocrisy and business has caused a lot of animal suffering. The future must be vegan. And those who are still too ignorant and conservative to stick to their old habits should be manipulated into veganism. With good intentions though.
So this new food is made from cancer cells that divide forever? Going to take a while for people to catch onto that vs simply switching to vegetarianism. That bowl of cancer chicken from a mutated stem cell didn't look very tasty. It seriously looks exactly what my friends knee looked like before dying stage 4 a week ago. The tumors were pushing out of his knee, where he had to go to the ER all the time for transfusions. That chicken looked just like the thing where his knee had once been. A lump of... ???? My friends knee also looked like Henry's baby from the hit movie Eraserhead. If anything thinks they're going to eat that and be happy; think again. These guys are only happy at the potential amt of money they might make eventually one day with their sci fi bio mass machine that will probably never see the light of day for commercial uses.
What, though, of killing animals for food? It is true that man’s original diet was vegetarian. But Jehovah later expanded it to include animal flesh. Some 4,000 years ago-in the days of righteous Noah-Jehovah caused a global deluge and brought an end to the then existing wickedness on earth. Noah, his family, and the living creatures he took into the ark survived the Flood. After they emerged from the ark, Jehovah for the first time stated: “Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to you.” (Genesis 9:3) At the same time, however, God gave the law: “Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image he made man.” (Genesis 9:6) Clearly, God did not place animals on the same level as humans.
“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian” is a quote from Paul McCartney that is a well-known part of the animal rights movement. It is a call to action to expose the abuse of animals in the meat and dairy industries, and to raise awareness of the environmental impact of the meat industry.
7:36 The process was started by an immortal chicken cell due to a freak of nature. WHAT?! The documentary should've been about THAT rather than fake meat.
Factory farmed chickens are also freaks of nature. Every life out there since LUCA is a result of random mutations.

Necessary evil? Where have i heard that before? Oh yeah- human slavery
Pretty hypocritical since animal products are not necessary for health.
You can only have B12 from meat and COMPLETE vitamin A from Liver, stop spreading false information and read books backed by science.
If you’re not willing to kill your own meat, at least once, then you should not eat meat at all.
Only people cruel to animals should eat meat?

I think you're missing it, dude! Vegans are making fake meat for the people can't become vegan because of the taste of it. No vegan needs meat. This is a conversion endeavor.
@@AlexHanna.esquireits because you havent educated yourself on chemical science and dont understand that all the chemicals that are in meat come from plants.
For instance- fermented onions create the same molecules found in sausage..
You can get the same saturated fats in animal products from concentrated vegetable oils ..
You are just uneducated, so you think to try to shift the blame off yourself and point fingers at other people- its a very predictable response from people who are brainwashed by eating animal products.
Its also a predictable response that you will now create some other excuse.
You are an addict, unfortunately, and you are going to struggle to come to terms with your part in unnecessary animal abuse. And the world will be worse for it.
One vegan told me that it's not meat that tastes good, it's the stuff we flavor it with and how we cook it that makes it taste good. Plain, unseasoned meat is actually pretty gross. Try just boiling a chicken leg with no seasonings and it will be barely edible. She said you can flavor plant products and make them taste just as savory.
I’m not going to eat a fake product coming out of a machine. It’s like calling Pringle’s a healthy version of a potato chip.
Of course you would Put the Future of your Kids and next Generation in the grave with your own mouth and knowing Future Results...but.... your smell of Sense and Stonage thoughts make your own thoughts Just to make the right Things for you... what ever it takes
Unless your diet is entirely raw foods you already are eating foods coming out of a machine.
You're already eating machine made foods. We could live in a world where we don't torture animals for kicks.
Pringles are yummy tho
@Bebedollie Just wasted money
The lion eats the meat raw the way we eat fruit and veggies and doesn't eat people food like hotdogs or French fries, so if you eat meat , eat it raw like a tiger ( just take a bite out of it)
But that is a secondary step. After the killing, people eats it the way they more like it, raw or cooked.
Does a lion know how to make a fire?
I love how meat eaters liken themselves to Lions. It's hilarious
All I hear here is “cultivated” meat from stem cells, where do these stem cells are coming from?

I’m a long time vegan and tried a Meati steak on Christmas. I don’t know if we cooked it wrong but it literally had the texture of an old shoe. Blech.
Just eat veggies differently its not steak, don't immitate meat
I cooked it and while the texture was a bit off, a little bit of barbecue sauce made it taste amazing.. id definitely eat it again.. and i didnt even marinate it ..
Plus, dont worry, there are advances coming down the pipe line that will make it even better..
Imagine if meat companies but there money towards advancing alternative meat development instead of needlessly killing animals and the planet?

@@eggplantandpeach processed meat is a known carcinogen according to the World Health Organization. The plant-based versions of processed meat often taste as good and some are hard to tell the difference.

Is lab meat even healthy?
Lab meat is healthier than animal stock. Farmed animals ingest microplastics are pumped with antibiotics & often prove itself to be dangerous for consumption when pathogens are considered.
Odd question to ask considering the processed meat most of the world eats is considered a grade A carcinogen. Non-lab meat isn't healthy, doesnt seem to stop people eating it though.

@@faraimupfuti3530 Nope.
Testing artificial meat with salt rather than sauce is essential for a fair and accurate comparison of its true qualities against natural meat. Salt, as a basic seasoning, enhances the inherent flavors of the meat without masking or altering them. Sauces, on the other hand, are complex flavoring agents designed to dominate or transform the taste of the meat they accompany. By using sauces in taste tests, we introduce external variables that obscure the intrinsic qualities of the artificial meat, preventing a genuine meat-to-meat comparison.
Natural meat has a distinctive flavor profile shaped by its fat content, amino acids, and other natural compounds that develop through processes like the Maillard reaction. Salt interacts with these elements, amplifying the meat’s authentic taste and highlighting its natural umami notes without overwhelming them. Testing artificial meat with salt alone allows us to evaluate whether its flavor profile can genuinely mimic or compete with that of natural meat. If artificial meat cannot stand on its own when seasoned with only salt, it fails to replicate the core attributes that define meat’s unique flavor.
Sauces, in contrast, introduce a wide range of additional flavors-sweet, sour, spicy, or tangy-that can overpower the meat’s inherent taste. While sauces are an important culinary tool, they are meant to enhance or transform the dining experience rather than reveal the meat’s foundational qualities. Relying on sauces in comparisons could allow artificial meat to “hide” its shortcomings behind the strength of the added flavors, making it an unfair assessment.
Moreover, testing with salt reflects how many people assess meat in its simplest, purest form, such as in grilling, roasting, or other traditional cooking methods where the meat itself takes center stage. If artificial meat aims to replace or rival natural meat, it must demonstrate that it can deliver comparable or superior flavor when prepared with minimal enhancement. This approach not only respects the integrity of the comparison but also establishes a baseline standard for evaluating the product’s standalone quality. To truly evaluate whether artificial meat can match or surpass natural meat, it must succeed in the simplest test: standing on its own with just a pinch of salt.
Tastier? 🤣
Far superior in taste
@@makerofthings Nope.
Irrelevant to the fact that animal agriculture is destroying the planet.
@Vscustomprinting Nope
40:55 you don't need to produce meat for 10 billion people no everybody eats meat we Indians mostly are vegetarian and those eat meats only eats chicken in India very few people eat big meat and cows are sacred here so no beef . I don't know as a vegetarian why I'm watching this video
The seething hatred of the very IDEA of food which doesn't require farms, animals, or recalls due to salmonella contamination is fascinating.
Plant-based burgers taste fine. But, until the people at Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat get the price down to under a dollar an ounce, it's going to be a cute luxury item.
It's the Tesla of food products.
You've got a bit of a persecution complex going there. Mockery does not equal "seething hatred".

@@melindasmith3713 lmao that’s what I’m thinking
Agreed, just too expensive for what you get.
I will substitute my meats if the substitutes contains the same nutrients as my meats. Like.. B12. Creatine. Carnitine. Carnosine. heme iron. DHA/EPA (fish). Taurine..
Factory farming is a contradiction that is getting harder to stomach never mind swallow.
I'll eat fake meat if it's cheaper than the real deal and taste decent.
A few companies have the taste and texture figured out, but the prices are still an obstacle. Example: at a dollar an ounce (!), an Impossible Burger is an overpriced luxury item.
A pound of hamburger is $4.00 - 8.00. On my last trip to the grocery store, $8.00 was the price of two 4oz. Impossible Burger patties.
Disclaimer: I'm a vegetarian who misses the taste of meat. But, there are billions of TH-cam videos showing how to make a tasty and AFFORDABLE alternative.

Eating stem cells that causes cancer will not give you cancer. The whole process of digestion will destroy any malignant process so it is perfectly safe
The naked ape is a omnivore, he has 8 incisors.
Seriously? You'll be saying you're a lion next
Youre not educated enough to have remembered "canine" teeth. Those were were for piercing fruit rinds and those incisors you mentioned are for scraping away the rind. It's hilarious when practicing carnivores attempt to use our teeth as proof when it's completely the opposite every time. 😂
The oldest continuous cultures on this planet are all primary hunters with plant material being secondary. With the greater sapiens family line eating meat for 4 million years. Sorry Vegans but that's the facts.
@@makerofthings You are not educated enough to debunk paleontology.
Hunting is the factor that drove the evolution of our brains, though it did not work for all of us by the looks of things.

When a lion eats a gazelle it’s completely fine but me eating chicken makes me a monster these people are crazy
that chicken is being tortured every single day..
They are crazy indeed. They will put blame on peasants but not themselves . They say we cause climate change by using firewood yet its them cutting natural forest and sale timber so they can have cash sitting in their accounts
It’s not that. It’s that the gazelle lives a normal life until it gets taken out and eaten. A chicken from the time it’s born lives in an assembly line until it’s killed. All meat assembly lines are completely cruel.
Animals are forced fed, packed together like sardines, rarely see sunlight and then brutally killed.
😂😅
We humans have this thing called morals, which animals don't, right? We can connect the dots and understand that killing animals for food might be necessary but not an ideal thing. If we can change to something that doesn't kill or torture animals, why not?
I love the Maier family farm story , It must be horrible to pick which few unlucky of the herd have to be sacrificed for population control though but in a perfect world I wish everyone thought this way but how can they possibly afford to sustain these cattle for the remainder of their natural life ? Which brings me to another question I've always wondered which is , can we safely consume an animal which has died of natural causes or in cases of injury. Or exposure to elements?
How about we eat less and spend time growing vegetables
No
i subscribe to the theory that says - the further what we eat is from what can be found in nature then the worse it will be for me.

Fake meat is not necessary to eat a diet free of slaughtered victims. You could eat a whole food plant-based diet which is ideal for your health, the environment, and other factors which make animal agriculture so detrimental.

'Hunting is controversial, even if it's crucial to wildlife management'
As far as I'm aware wildlife was managing just fine before we invented guns to shoot it with.
Then you're not aware of much.
@@taylorlibby7642 Care to elaborate on that?
Hunting os why you are here. If humans didnt hunt, they would bot survive, and you would never have been born. Do you also think animals that hunt other animals for food, are bad or wrong 😂 its called survival. Something you obviously know nothing about
@@Fatman311 Well for one thing we were using our hands, rocks, traps, spears, arrows, and stampede techniques to hunt for millenia before firearms. For another firearms weren't invented for hunting. And for yet another, just to use deer in America for an example, hunting helps to control populations much better than predation, which is a pretty awful way to go, so that overpopulation doesn't lead to a slow lingering deletion from starvation which is inarguably a much much much worse way to go.
First, it's not controversial. It's the most natural way to obtain food. People were hunting for hundreds of thousands of years. Controversial is today meat production.
They dont for us to eat. We grow it so we can eat it.
No to any meat!
Let me get this straight. Subsidies for farming are bad, but subsidies for a bacteria plant are good.
Got it, thanks.
In the future, there will be no ego meat to go around for all gun owners. (:
In absence of natural predators Humans must check herbivore numbers, this is basic ecology. So its either guns, or you except that little Timmy may get eaten by a Bear. These are the only viable options for this future of yours.

I don’t liked those Lab fake meats! It’s costs more expensive than the real ones ya! 🤷🏻♂️
That's just because it isn't produced at the same scale as factory farmed animals
Plus they never consider how many animals die producing the fake meats.
And they never account for all of the animals that are killed during agricultural production.
After Tens of thousands of years of using animals in every way to survive and thrive-let’s say Thankyou by eliminating all forms of industrial farming of animals-respect to the rare person who thru skill takes an animal,and uses every aspect in the pursuit of survival-this is the opposite of a drive up meal.With exception for cultural historical preservation and other 1st person tactical hunting,it’s far past time to end the outrageous inefficient practice of animal farming forever-

That bowl of cancer chicken from a mutated stem cell didn't look very tasty. It seriously looks exactly what my friends knee looked like before dying stage 4 a week ago.

We should not kill animals for meat 😇👍
No one will need them then. They soon would go extinct

What, though, of killing animals for food? It is true that man’s original diet was vegetarian. But Jehovah later expanded it to include animal flesh. Some 4,000 years ago-in the days of righteous Noah-Jehovah caused a global deluge and brought an end to the then existing wickedness on earth. Noah, his family, and the living creatures he took into the ark survived the Flood. After they emerged from the ark, Jehovah for the first time stated: “Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for you. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to you.” (Genesis 9:3) At the same time, however, God gave the law: “Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image he made man.” (Genesis 9:6) Clearly, God did not place animals on the same level as humans.
Bloodless meat is the future.

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian” is a quote from Paul McCartney that is a well-known part of the animal rights movement. It is a call to action to expose the abuse of animals in the meat and dairy industries, and to raise awareness of the environmental impact of the meat industry.
