It’s just frustrating. Despite study after study showing that consumption of meat leads to poor health, people keep doing it. It just reminds me of being an addict. Other people saying this causes less harm to other sentient beings are right I’ll conceded to that but based off everything I know, the consumption of meat isn’t an act of self love. I may just be sensitive because my mother is dying of stomach disease. Beans and rice vegan steps off soap box

  You need to learn what cherry picking is. These are studies funded by governments. Not meat packing corporations.
  
  But I’m sure I can post some PFAS studies you can deny too.

Could we genetically engineer a synthetic meat cell line that is healthy enough to eat?

  We’re humans, we can do anything we put our minds to. I’m not a geneticist nor nutritionist so there’s no way I could tell you for certain. But the more I think of this question the more Jeff Goldblum’s line from Jurassic Park comes to mind.

    Haha but it’s yummy! This would be the easiest way to get rid of agricultural meat production for ethical and environmental reasons.
    
    Of course for many species of cows it will be an extinction event.

    Yeah and cocaine is fun to do too. Doesn’t mean it’s healthy.
    
    It wouldn’t end animal agriculture. It would just become the vinyl record collectors version of meat consumption.
    
    It saddens me that you believe the only reason for cows existence is because of humans.
    
    If I may suggest donating some time at your local animal sanctuary to meet a cow. Much like dogs or cats they each have very different personalities. They can be very cuddly if they get to know you. Like most herbivores they just want to have good vibes and enjoy their life.
