Will You Ever Eat Lab-Grown Meat? Why/Why Not?

[laexperienciador]

Nowadays we are all aware how much meat industry harms animals and the environment so this is why lab grown meat could be an effective alternative
What do you think?

Atheist: Your 'point' about Jews was utterly disgusting. You should be ashamed and your comments deleted.

I would but think it could be expensive.
Quorn peppered steaks are tasty and totally vegetable based. They're a regular part of my diet now.

[DTCwordfan]

true as to sunny-d - why not though...however, how would one create milk lamb or lamb left to graze on the Solway Firth sea-grasses and taking aboard that salty background taste that one also gets with Normandy lamb in springtime?

As to Aetheist, man, or woman, was designed, or evolved, to be omnivorous, whatever your faith or non-faith, plain and simple.

[pimplyteen]

I'll eat whatever is available thats good to the taste and within my buget.

[DTCwordfan]

one of your best comments, pimply....

[pimplyteen]

Thanks. Just the truth you will never stop this massive world wide industry.You may slow it down a little if the lab meat is 50% cheaper a tastes the same.

Paigntonian;

"Atheist: Your 'point' about Jews was utterly disgusting. You should be ashamed and your comments deleted."

Can you explain why you find my post disgusting?

[Atheist]

DTC; Humans are omnivorous, but not because we have to be. We have changed over the millenia, but we are still omnivores (not carnivores). I choose to avoid killing animals, and I can afford to do that without putting my life at risk. If there was no alternative, I would eat anything that came my way. Why do some omnivores become upset about my position?

[DTCwordfan]

I didn't make a comment on that - however, you should accept that there are those of us who love meat, fish or shellfish - just enjoyed some delish Fal mussels cooked with 'nduja, shallots, garlic and linguine.....

[Atheist]

DTC; I do accept that people enjoy eating other animals - I have to accept it; it's a simple fact of life. But I choose to avoid it where possible, as I avoid killing those with whom I disagree unless they threaten me and my loved ones with physical harm.

[royfromaus]

Can I assume no one has ever threaten you and your loved ones with physical harm, Atheist?

[Atheist]

Royfromaus: Not my loved ones, only me. But it wasn't bad enough to consider killing them.

[DTCwordfan]

mmmm' as to my own crew, I have my doubts. As they say, research has shown that grey hair of we elders is not caused by genetics but by our children!

Probably, after the gourmet food reviewers have raved about it.

A meat industry need not harm animals, apart from shortening their life of course, so your premise for having lab grown is on thin ice. In nature life feeds on life, and the higher life forms prey on the lower, who are we to buck the trend and say that nature is wrong ? Plus there is plenty of land where crops are impractical but animals can make use of it without harm to the environment. And were they not farmed their species would probably have died out by now; as happened to the dodo.

Meanwhile, I suspect it'd be a long long time before lab creations are comparable to the normal, organic, steak.

[david small]

No, I would simply be vegetarian.

[barry1010]

If the world became vegan there would only be a few 'sample' sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys in the likes of zoos or living museums.

And then what would pet owners feed their cats and dogs on?

[gl556tr]

Insects. Have to be killed, normally. But full of nourishment.

[barry1010]

Skewed morals, if breeding living creatures for food is wrong, so is breeding insects.

[tomus42]

I'd eat it. It would be fine for things like chilli, pasta sauces, burgers, anything where you might currently use mince. I tend to use soya for these things anyway.

I can't see it ever being particularly cheap though.
