I'm not sure there are any important environmental impacts from future meat, given the way literally everything else has changed too. Every other GHG source has been eliminated and they have literal weather machines, so that's not a problem. They can terraform planets too, and combined with other naturally supportive places, there's probably gigantic ranches with herds of cattle living quite naturally getting culled for slaughter by ranchers that live in orbit.

But the spot where Harris Ranch used to be, along I-5, still smells like poo poo.

Epicurius posted:It's not even implied. Riker outright states in one of TNG's famous "Future people are better than you." speeches that animals aren't 'enslaved' for meat and that all meat is replicated, thereby upsetting furry Gul Dukat. (No, really, the episode has Mark Alaimo playing some sort of alien dog man who's on the ship to negotiate with this lizard man, and then at the end, we find out he ate the lizard man. Early TNG was weird and pretty bad) Why does this particular scene get referenced so frequently when people want to poo poo on first season TNG? It's funny and better than most of the rest of that episode.

It's just odd and offputting. The ambassador plot is irrelevant to the main plot, and not particularly interesting and it ends with "Oh, one of the ambassadors are the other.", and you almost expect a laugh track, and then that's the episode.

EvilTaytoMan posted:Although there was one episode where Lwaxanna said she was going to program in a recipe into a replicator so it may be possible without a template. I mean, if it already has the information for what every individual ingredient in the dish is gonna be, it makes sense you'd be able to tell it how to put them together. If it already has info for noodles, tomatoes, basil, parmesan, etc, you can tell it how to make your grandma's spaghetti without having to fly out to Bumfuck Four and asking her to make some for you so you can toss it in the imaging scanner or whatever. This also means that, until someone tells the Starfleet Chef Association what a leola root or hair pasta is, nobody from Voyager will be able to ever recreate one of Neelix's dishes.

Nessus posted:But I don't want a whole dead chicken, I want some chicken cacciatore. Presumably you would have to sacrifice a few animals at some point to get new info into the system, although even if Starfleet Culinary is pushing new recipes every four starmonths you have reduced the number of animals being killed by orders of magnitude. HOWEVER: An animal WAS killed at some point. Chicken cacciatore starts off as a whole dead chicken.

There are a bunch of terraformed planets in Trek. None of them were done in five minutes from a single torpedo though.

Insurrection commentary. They're clearly having a few glasses of wine while they spend the whole thing joking with each other and giving the movie poo poo, it's fantastic. If CBS wants to sell me All Access do a series where you give them a comfy lounge, an endless supply of wine, and make them watch the ten worst episodes of TNG.

I thought that project got canned after most of the scientists were killed and it got turned into a WMD that disrupted the entire international community. I never understood the point in terraforming in the Trek universe. M-class planets that require zero work are apparently more than plentiful and scattered all over the place, so why bother wasting all that time and effort? I mean maybe a place like Mars just for vanity and to say you can, but who the hell is living in that society and pining for a decades long project with minimal result?

Convenience probably, Mars is right next door and doesn't need warp travel to get to in a reasonable time.
