I should also say that it doesn’t seem appropriate (to me) to strongly update towards “it’s not important to lower price and improve taste and convenience of plant-based meat alternatives.” (I don’t think the post is seriously arguing for this, but figured that I would flag it.)
I agree, with emphasis on ‘strongly update.’
which is indeed a belief I’ve heard implied or stated in EA
This is especially helpful as people have (understandably) doubted this is the case.
I expect that without improvements in price and taste, we won’t manage to in fact transition to a very low-meat (or no-factory-farming) world
I’m probably somewhat less confident here and think there may be other paths.
I’m thinking about school lunches, cheap burgers, etc. — things that are poorly measured by studies on students and the like
I don’t follow this point—presumably students would be an ideal population for studying school lunches? I’m assuming I’ve misunderstood :)
more research about what will matter to younger generations seem particularly useful.
Thanks for your kind words, Lizka!
