I agree with you in general, but, I live in an area with highly educated people who will say they believe in climate change and we should do something about it. They bring their reusable bags to the store so as not to take a plastic bag, etc. That's were it stops. These same people drive gas inefficient cars, light gas fireplaces everyday during winter months for "ambiance", drive and fly to various destinations for family gatherings and vacations, and barbecue some sort of meat almost every night on their propane grills. I'm not sure what will turn things around, but education alone will not do it unless it is couple with real lifestyle changes.

Food production shouldn't be monopolized in the hands of a few who have the capital resources to run operations like these artificial foods labs or vertical farms. I'm not against that becoming a thing, because it sounds great as the means of sustainably producing the food we'll need to feed our increasing population, but we should be simultaneously investing in the ability for the masses to produce organic food locally. Here in Hawaii we are already dependent on food imports, and in the case of disaster we lack the ability to feed ourselves without aid, so we must counter this by growing our own food and being self-sufficient.

Ms. Delap's use of the phrase "what we currently consider" is all important. For example, lobster, a premier delicacy, was once considered a waste catch and fed to prisoners! So, it all depends on one's _currently informed_ frame of reference. Mr. Fasman's repeated use of the term "price" greatly confuses matters. Americans pay an artificially low _price_ for many food items, animal protein included, due to governmental subsidies. The much more appropriate term is "cost." For, these artificially low prices come at a cost. Anything from the portion of taxes we pay, right through to harm that's inflicted on animals and the environment. Vertical farming is a perfect case in point. Everything about vertical farming is a win; for humans and the planet. This takes into account the perceived energy inputs to which Mr. Fasman refers. On the whole, vertical farming is vastly better, requires drastically fewer direct and indirect inputs. Water is a prime example where vertical farms use a tiny fraction of the water needed for equivalent traditional farms. Other examples include herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Add to that argument that vertical farms create opportunities, better, higher paying jobs, and dramatic reductions in post-production energy consumption associated with harvesting and transporting food to market and the solution is beyond obvious. If the U.S. government were truly concerned with health and the environment, the USDA, FDA and EPA would have a coordinated strategic plan to address the effects of industrialized farming and livestock production. From the downstream effects of greenhouse gas emissions, herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers on climate and the environment, ground water, estuaries and littoral waters, to the upstream effects of water misuse, herbicide, pesticide and fertilizer production, as well as seed sterilization, to the epidemics and so-called "lifestyle illnesses" resulting from diet, including meat consumption, the entire system must be overhauled...from the top down. Initiatives on the scale of the Manhattan Project and Apollo Program are needed to solve for economically viable plant-based and synthetic alternatives to animal protein production and consumption; both here and abroad. The bottom line is that we can't currently feed the 7.8 billion people on the planet with the current system, let alone a projected population of 10 billion by 2050. Mother Nature has warned us as such for 50 years now. It's way passed time to wake up!

@@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt - Heart disease is more attributable to trans fats from hydrogenated oils and margarine. Ever wonder why, after almost a century of misinformation and outright lies, trans fats are being eliminated by law (in the US)? The vegans also claim meat consumption is the major cause of type 2 diabetes (which is a major contributor to heart disease), which is such a joke because high blood glucose levels come directly from carbs, not meat. You may well see fat people that eat meat (and likely eat too much), but if they’re diabetic, they’re gnawing down some major carbs, too - and very likely in the form of sugar. And vegans don’t even want to acknowledged that sugars are the cause of non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is “the most common liver disease in the world and NASH (NASH cirrhosis is the end stage of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) may soon become the most common indication for liver transplantation”, according to the US government, National Institute of Health. Of course, most would have you believe that liver disease is the sole province of the alcoholic, but it’s just another lie. No, sugar and high-carbs is every bit as deadly as excessive meat consumption.

You are correct there, it is better to address the problem with a natural process rather than lab/artificial anything.

A perfectly natural process if carried out correctly can feed everyone healthy food from the soil and put carbon back where it came from in the first place. Let's look at the root cause/source of the problem so we can address it rather than identify the problem and address it with technology. By merely finding a solution to a problem doesn't take the problem away as the root cause isn't being addressed.

If we hit the gas on vertical farms, GMO's, and cut back on meat production, or have a breakthrough in synthetic meat, than we could completely and cheaply offset whole food products in exchange for proof of servings making it to the end user- trivializing food costs at the store and keeping food service competitive. At the same time our surplus could feed other countries, and our supply chain would be much more resistant to fluctuations. I see a program like this being possible as early as 2030, with excess going to other countries as soon as our current grain shortage is over. Especially if we decrease meat subsidies as market pressures let up, keeping the new elevated price of meat.

For something from The Economist, I found this oddly incomplete. "Regenerative agriculture and animal husbandry" was not mentioned. And did I hear anyone say "peanuts"? No. They should: a legume and "nut" at the same time, high protein and nutrient/energy dense, water sparing, self pollinating and nitrogen fixing. Easy to combine with other plant proteins for completeness. Readily accepted throughout the world. Already grown at scale worldwide with a global market. Peanuts along with other legumes are part of the solution.

If there's already 2 billion people eating insects, why don't we let them and their offspring keep on eating bugs? It was said in the end that eating habits are actually cultural and emotional. If there's already a large part of the human population eating insects, just let them keep on eating what they see fit. I'm certainly not starting to eat any bugs.

Not really.

These vegan clowns find a soapbox like KZbin and make it sound like the world’s in their side, but it’s not. Personally, I’m not interested in even cutting back ...

This is baloney- they dismiss smaller-scale production and favor things like vertical farming, which is so energy intensive it's ridiculous. They cannot replace the energy in sunlight by using electrical bulbs, and the heat load is tremendous (the idea that alternative energy will compensate is silly). There is no discussion of the emergence of regenerative methods for both food production and meat production, which directly addresses climate issues. They are lost in a typical urban e-world.

If producing meat is so bad for the environment and our health, why do we think making something synthetic in a lab will be better for the environment and health. Think about where the ingredients come from to make artificial "meat", the cocktail of wizardry must be fed something produced in soil which probably is a monoculture. Same as for tofu production. Using serum from a pregnant cow at slaughter to produce a starter for lab meat? I thought the production of lab meat was a solution to farming and killing animals? How many cows need to be killed for that? Is it not wiser to make use of the natural meat from that dead cow? A single ingredient which can be produced without adulteration by chemicals.

The video nearly completely ignores the most likely meat analogue, plant-based meat substitutes. Plant-based meat substitutes are being sold commercially *now* at billion-dollar scale, and they can easily be scaled up to global scale, hundreds of billions of dollars, and sold for less cost than meat. I'd like to know the pros and cons of that trajectory.
