    Factory farming is extremely cost-efficient, so I don’t think the free market would give you anything else regardless of how many people there are. Laws and environment tax would.

      Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it’seven available commercially… So I’m not too sure about the direction we’re going.

        Relax, even those places will turn around when it becomes commercially available and cheaper than regular meat.

        It is nothing but a political statement to draw in conservatives.
