Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Why?
Protecting industries who prefer to complain rather than actually evolve with the times
🤦🏻♂️
Downvote if you want but at least educate me on why I'm wrong on facepalming. I'm serious. I love a good discussion.
I think people are downvoting because a simple facepalm emoji is considered a low effort comment. If there's no substance to your comment, better not to comment at all.
Fair point. My intent was to encourage discussion and it was my mistake that an emoji would facilitate more discussion. Lesson learned 🤦🏻♂️
Or you could educate us on why you're face-palming. Use your words.
Okay. My point is that methane (from cow farts) is a significant source of greenhouse gasses. If we can get high quality food without ruining the planet or the enjoyment of food then why shouldn't we go for it?
?
We've been evolving with the times for quite a while. Maybe change for the sake of change isn't exactly the right thing either.
Lab grown food, sold to you by the same system who sold you intensive farming.
How is lab grown meat change for the sake of change? There's obvious benefits to it: no more need to breed beings just to eat them, less resource-intensive, frees up land, and I might be missing others
Is it really sustainable ? I'm just not sure it's a viable alternative to eating less meat and farming with sustainable and regenerative practices.
Thank God Italians will be protected from making their own choices about it.
