This is the solution. Hiding our heads in the sand saying meat is bad means ignoring our biology. Give me meat, give me vegetables, don't give me artificial mixtures filled with flavor enhancers and preservatives because we've decided human bodies don't need meat and animal protein.

The only way is find out how to grow an indistinguishable piece of muscle meat (and organ) in a lab, without animal suffering. Though in an ideal world sustainable animal husbandry would be best, but would never work in our hyper-capitalistic hyper-consumeristic reality, so let's find a compromise.

It's not so clear to me that the abbatoir of nature is that great, inherently. You could probably make a decent moral case for wiping out all life on earth, should there be no prospects for it to transcend the bloodbath and disease and botflies and rape and knocking the gazelle to the ground, pinning it as you rip out its living entrails.
