In 2021, progressive ideas that push the limits of the perception of practicality regarding climate-safe practices are a dime-a-dozen. When a bonafide billionaire and tech-giant takes a jab at one though, the masses take notice.
In February, during an interview with MIT Technology Review promoting his new book, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,” Bill Gates was asked if plant-based and lab-grown meats could be a solution to the protein problem throughout the world. His response was eye-opening.
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100 percent synthetic beef,” Gates said. “You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time.”
