Comment on Keir Starmer says the UK can decarbonise without disruption – that’s neither true nor helpful
13esq@lemmy.world 1 month agoI’m actually really looking forward to lab grown meat becoming an established industry. Not just for the benefits of the environment and animal welfare but because you could feasibly grow the finest lobster meat, fois gras, wagyu steaks etc etc on industrial scales which would lead to much lower prices.

We’ll bankrupt the NHS if we’re all living on fois gras and wagyu, my arteries are bound to be struggling as it is.

I take your point. But you could make the same argument for many things that are already very affordable.
Personally, I’m against nanny taxes, they only work against people who are financially struggling, yet ironically it’s generally the poorest people that have the worst health, especially when it comes to obesity.
I think there is work to be done on improving the health of the population, but I’d like to drive that from a perspective of education or a carrot rather than a stick method.
