Indeed I have, and I'm a fan. To get the people stuck on "meat," which is a majority of people in the US, cultured meat may be the answer to eliminate the mass slaughter of animals. I'm about a dual solution - plant and animal (cell) protein.
@willendeavor I think most people never got some proper #vegetarian and #vegan meals that taste good to eat, but instead had some unseasoned deep-fried then fridged and then reheated tofu as sample size.
Otherwise more would live it.
I think cutting any agricultural subsidies would correct the price for meat up where it should be...
@kkarhan@willendeavor Here in Germany, where I come from, the typical meal was Meat (Schnitzel, Steak) with a side (potato, pasta) and maybe some vegetables (steamed carrots, brokkoli). So typically vegetarian meant: Just cut the meat, which is often bland.
Since I went vegetarian, I (had to) discover(ed) so many new ways to perpare my food, it really expanded my horizon.
@Appiah_92@willendeavor Yeah, a lot of bad cooks and restaurant owners don't know how to make good #vegetarian and/or #vegan food despite it being quite simple.
OFC just removing meat without replacing it is just bad and doesn't work...
And despite me being neither vegetarian nor vegan it does insult my intellect as it doesn't require much effort if they actually cared.
Yes, it is the same in the US - meat, potato/pasta, and vegetable. This is the standard meal. It's really difficult to get the majority of the population to experiment with a better way of eating that doesn't include the wholesale slaughter of more animals than the mind can imagine. Vegetable protein has helped, but more must be done to get hardcore meat eaters to try something new.
