If you can make a transition to a high protein, mostly plant-based diet work in the U.S., then that gives you an existential proof that it would someday be possible for countries further back in the consumption curve.

At the same time, we also have evidence that “leapfrog” development can happen, e.g. France’s Minitel phase is something the U.S. skipped.

Figuring out a desirable reduced meat lifestyle (people have to want it for themselves) then appears to be highly relevant to combat global warming.

I have high hopes for lab grown meat.
The day that comes i'll switch and wont go back.
It probably wouldn't look much different from a modern poultry farm.
Minus the brains, so no suffering. Hopefully also more energy efficient.
I would imagine more similar to a modern pharmaceutical factory (which is much, much cleaner than a poultry farm).
How? I imagine sterile enourmous vats and tubes in a continuous process, like a brewery.
