Have you seen farm raised chickens and cows?

I would argue that there is nothing natural about that either. The modern farm animal wouldn't survive in the wild. They are bred to grow at insane rates, are fed hormones, and get too heavy to be mobile. Not to mention, what impact this has on the nutritional content and chemical content of our meats, and what impact they are having on us.

If you are concerned about eating naturally, I think you should start allocating time in your day to hunting for wild food. Nothing about the human diet is "natural" anymore.

Poorly growing cattle is a real problem, The more people stop purchasing such products and move towards responsibly sourced and grown chicken or other animals that provide meat this problem can be solved. But why not work towards such a right solution and look for shortcut and artificial solutions like lab grown meat.

How can a lab grown meat and a animal that naturally grow be one and the same?
