So, you're anti-farmed meat, pro lab grown meat?

Victimless burger is fine as long as it's resource consumption isn't too different from veggies?

Anti is a strong word. But if that's how you want to pigeonhole me, yes.

Not trying to pigeonhole, just curious.

I'm also trying to reduce meat consumption when possible (Barring indulgences) for many of the same reasons.

But! Deer are overpopulated here in Michigan, and venison is tasty.

Great! Your questioning felt a bit like a cross-examination, hence my comment. Meat or no meat is a discussion with a past:

Overpopulation is bad - on the flip side though, doesn't that also imply that there isn't enough nature for them to live in?

Ah, that guy.

And no, with the deer thing, it implies that they have no predators and breed like crazy. It implies that they get fat on corn and alfalfa and raise car insurance rates.

Then there are these crazies
