That doesn't feel helpful to you?
no, the technology is underdeveloped, and very resource intensive. I don't think it is a viable alternative at all. Better to just eat what grows from the ground than spend so much time, money, energy forcing cells that don't want to grow in such an artificial environment. I've also started to notice how it seems to be quite tied to EA and longtermism crowd, who are investing in it a lot.
True. It could still have benefits from a vegetarian or conservation perspective, though.
Have you thought about trying to get into genetically modified plant crops, then?
I did consider it yes, but those companies are evil too, they make a farmer reliant on a super crop that can't produce its own seeds, and then make a mint by selling them seeds every year.
