>start looking into cultured meat for space applications, could be a much cleaner and easier way to make meat on mars, esp stuff like steak.
>while you could argue that the people on mars don't NEED meat, it would no doubt massively improve morale and make them being nutrient balanced a little easier

>"Lab-Grown Meat and Veganism: A Virtue-Oriented Perspective"
>"The project of growing meat artificially represents for some the next best thing to humanity. If successful, it could be the solution to several problems, such as feeding a growing global population while reducing the environmental impact of raising animals for food and, of course, reducing the amount and degree of animal cruelty and suffering that is involved in animal farming. "
>"As I argue, evaluating the issue from a virtue-oriented perspective suggests that the project of in vitro meat should not be supported because it stems from unvirtuous motivations."
holy FUCK imagine being so vegan you look at cultured meat, a technology that could replace almost all traditional suffering-causing animal agriculture over time, reduce land usage, reduce water usage, help eliminate the circumstances that lead to zoonotic disease, and you call it "not virtuous". These fucking faggots will never be happy until everyone is munching on onions and crammed into medieval-level hovels. i guarantee this queer opposes humans going into space.
