People cheer while it's novel (like television, social media) but our children will hate it and feel cheated out of real nutrition by 'manufactured food'.

Or, quite possibly, since humanity's progress can't be stopped, our children will hate us once they open their eyes and realize who their favorite hot dogs and burgers were made out of and how we spoon fed them with corpses since their very first moments.

Edit: I believe that there's definitely a potential version of the future where corpse eating will be looked at the same way we look at cannibalism now.

> how we spoon fed them with corpses since their very first moments

I have not seen meat recommended as food to give newborn infants, ever. They don't even eat solid meals!

Not newborns, but people introduce squashed animal products as puree to children pretty soon, and it's not the main point I was making.

The point you were making was clearly "we're feeding newborns dead 'corpses'", so I felt the need to make sure your appeal to emotion was at least somewhat factually correct.

Most of the meat they eat now comes from factory farms, you can't get much closer yo manufactured food than that.

Then don't eat factory farmed meat, and don't eat lab grown fake meat. There are more than two options.
