  One does provide food though, which is important. The other provides wrong answers, unnecessarily long descriptions, and acts like your mate. Let’s dig into that…

    Do we need either though? Humans survived for centuries without data centers or meat processing plants.

      We did, but we ate meat for most of that time and most still do. The scale of humanity requires mechanisation of some sort. Most people won’t turn to plant based or lab grown unless they have no choice, unfortunately.

    Households provide food if you’re a zombie or serial killer (and cannibal).

    As food production becomes more and more centralized in macro farms, resource over utilization and environment saturation become a larger problem.
    Because we're moving away from a large number of producers and manufacturers to a hyperconsolidated vertical food manufacturer, this will become the norm, so will price gauging.

      Small-scale meat production would use as much water as large-scale, I can only imagine. And that’s a good thing. We don’t want to get sick from tainted meat.

    Is education really that bad in Brighton?

  Today I learnt that meat plants use more water than data centres!

  Meat plants use nearly six times as much water as the UK’s data centres, according to Water UK estimates, but most data centre water is consumed, evaporating during cooling.

  What an odd title. I thought there was some sort of new plant species that can grow meat.
