The Great Label Debate
The Support
“The growing global population needs to become independent from large-scale animal agriculture. The environment cannot sustain the waste, methane, and CO2 emissions produced by factory farms.” by Isabelle Lelogeais http://cellbased.link/l7c7a2
The Opposition
“Why label something made from chemicals and animal cells as meat? Meat is meat. It is harvested from an animal grown and protected by those of us who make it our business to raise cattle or other livestock and fish for human consumption.” by Paul Symens http://cellbased.link/c3ec
