Lab Meat

[Lyserg Zeroz]

Also called in vitro meat. It's meat that has been grown in laboratories using cells from animals and precursor cells of said animals alongside with proteins to help the cells proliferate and therefore help them to become an (ideally) edible piece of meat.

I know this is old news, but recently I was reminded of it. Some links that may be helpful:

So, the questions are: What is your position regarding in vitro meat? Why?

Personally I think I'd try it if it was available and ready for consumption. I don't see it as a gross anti-natural thing to do. I've also heard some say that it would be another man-made cancerous product with tons of toxic additives, which, in my opinion is a silly thing to say and just a quick judgement, it hasn't been made available for consumption yet, and the research, as far as I know, hasn't been completed yet.

It would be a great thing to have if it had the same if not better nutritive value as meat, and if it had the same (if not better) taste of natural meat.

Until world hunger doesn't exist, people don't have the right to knock against methods of creating food. I'm all for the continuation of the research. This could be a step in the right direction for getting rid of factory farms and all sorts of pushes for animal rights, environmentalists concerns for mass farming, hunger issues, and even nutrition issues. I currently see no con in this research.

What Ryan said.

I would eat lab-made food the same way I do with regular food.
