To The Editor:

The scale of violence we inflict on our fellow creatures is hard to comprehend. Humans kill more than a trillion aquatic and land animals for food every year. To put that in a little perspective, according to the Population Reference Bureau, only about 117 billion humans have ever lived. In my view, the commercialization of cultivated meat represents one of the most promising means of reducing animal suffering and premature death. For those who aren’t aware, the new protein is grown from livestock cells, without slaughter.
