Meaty technology

re: "You eat meat from factory farms. Why not a lab?" (BP, August 9, 2021)

Dear editor,

It is a joy to read that yet again modern science and technology enable us to switch to morally better lifestyles, in this case our dietary choices. The end of the abomination that is factory farming is a demise greatly to be wished for.

A complementary benefit for Thais is that all those who claim to be Buddhists can stop paying others to kill sentient animals on their orders in markets and restaurants. By opting for the healthy, lab-grown variety, they will be able stop lying about following the First Precept while they continue to indulge their natural lusts for tasty animal meat.
