[QUOTE="ski, post: 7599491, member: 2207"] Anthony Browne MP, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Environment writes in this week's Spectator, "Britain could be at the forefront of the revolution. We love animals: we are pragmatic about new technology". Further he writes "The FSA should now consider a fast - track approval process, and develop a strategy to deal with the many issues that arise from this global industrial revolution. The change in our diet seems inevitable, and it is always better to embrace the inevitable and shape it to your advantage, than try to resist it. The article contains some real insight as to what we are up against, for instance, "There are strong arguments in favour of cultured meat. The most obvious is animal welfare. Like most of us I enjoy juicy steaks, crispy bacon and roast chicken, but I also love animals: around the world 80 billion animals are killed to eat each year" It would therefore appear to follow from a welfarist's perspective that no existence at all is better than an existence where death occurs prematurely and you are eaten. Death occurs to all living organisms, the logic that underlies this outlook is therefore no life is preferable to a short one, personally I'll take the short one if that is all that is on offer. Here is what I think is the most important part "One research report forecast that by 2040, one third of all meat production in the world will be cultured - an industry opportunity worth billions of dollars". There we have it. It has nothing to do with welfare, large powerful corporations see the chance to make mega bucks and will sell the welfare story to steal our livelihoods. AW [/QUOTE]
