Would you eat meat grown in a laboratory?

As long as its served with gravy & roast potatoes ……………!!!

They’re all pasty faced vegetarians so they don’t really care where meat is produced. Either that, or they don’t have the stamina to respond!!!

Only just had a chance to read this, but wow :shock:

No no no no no no no….absolutely not! I never thought I’d say this but I’d rather become a vegetarian! Although how long before all our vegetables are mass-produced in a lab too?

fgs, “we can get rid of the livestock and all the environmental issues and ethical issues that come with breeding livestock”…perlease! Let’s just get rid of all the animals (except those that we’ll still need to harvest the stem cells until we work out how to produce those in a lab too) and reduce CO2 emissions shall we? And we can kid ourselves that it’s ok because we’ll still be able to eat “meat” but no animal has suffered in its production (that’s cos you killed them all to save the environment).

Wonders…has anyone worked out the environmental impact of the labs/factories required to manufacture this “meat” vs the environmental impact of keeping the animals? Unlikely.

What if it could solve world starvation

Funny how they never touched on that in any of the articles…maybe because there isn’t any money to be made there? And there’s more money to be made by jumping on the environmental and animal rights bandwagons?

Sadly whilst governments and official bodies provide humanitarian aid when there is a crisis because it soothes their consciences and to their minds absolves them of responsibility for deaths, no-one tackles the issue of world starvation for once and for all because it would be a mammoth task with little or no financial gain – so they keep applying the sticking plaster and hoping that someone else will make the cause of the problem go away. If there was money to be made out of resolving the issue of world starvation, it would be done. And it could probably be done without the use of GM crops (using the third world as a testing ground) and lab-produced “meat”.
