Against Cultured Meat (A6)
A pocketbook analysis of lab grown meat from radical vegan perspectives. As anarchists and vegans, we are against cultured meat---meat that is made from animal cells "without" killing an animal. This pocketbook contains critical reviews of three books on cultured meat that expose weaknesses, flaws, and naivety in arguments of those promoting this technology. While this form of meat might sound ideal, looking deeper reveals that it is a technofix largely funded by millionaires and billionaires, supported by (some) governments, and highly privatized. Cultured meat ends up being a thoroughly capitalist and anti-vegan venture where a small sect of society will gain some notoriety and wealth. Ultimately, cultured meat is always an anthropocentric enterprise that violates the rights and well-being of animals, preventing their liberation.
