Artificial meat coming in 3-10 years. This article outlines so many benefits, not least:

4. Healthier Planet.Today’s meat industry is a brutal fart in the face of Gaia. A recent Worldwatch Institute report “Livestock and Climate Change” accuses the world’s 1.5 billion livestock of responsibility for 51% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Statistics are truly shitty: cattle crap 130 times more volume than a human, creating 64 million tons of sewage in the United States that’s often flushed down the Mississippi River to kill fish and coral in the Gulf of Mexico. Pigs are equally putrid. There’s a hog farm in Utah that oozes a bigger turd total than the entire city of Los Angeles. Livestock burps and farts are equally odious and ozone-destroying. 68% of the ammonia in the world is caused by livestock creating acid rain, 65% of the nitrous oxide, 37% of the methane, 9% of the CO2, plus 100 other polluting gases.
