Thoughts on lab grown meat

[Nilotic]

I want to gauge people's opinions on lab grown meat and whether people would be receptive to it once it becomes viable and widely available.

Disgusting and ungodly only heathens would eat this, perhaps they use it to secretly promote cannablism

Garbage and unnatural, probably comes with future unrecognizable side effects

I have similar concerns but it does seem interesting -- at least conceptually.

You have to understand that the technology is only incipient, so it may address some of these limitations and concerns in the future.

Here's a good article detailing some of the problems with lab grown meat:

To satisfy the increasing demand for food by the growing human population, cultured meat (also called in vitro, artificial or lab-grown meat) is presented by...

If it tastes good. I'll eat it

People first reject it then evetually get used to it that's usually how it goes.
We know that those fast foods are not real food but we still buy them.

I think looking at how far we're going with synthetic foods, I should probably start thinking about what I eat more in general. I think we're going a bit too far.

I really don't think lab grown meat is viable due to technology constraints and the trust deficit, so 'Agroecology' seems to be a better option.

I just don't like factory farming.

No. Could be a more toxic and worse than the real deal, disrupting the gut microbiome and potentially creating more health problems down the road. I tend to avoid anything synthetic be it GMOs or anything with artificial flavours and colourants. So, why downgrade with meat?

No way would the elite ever eat that concoction. I'm suddenly reminded of the movie Snow Piercer for some reason.

It's true that we just don't know what the long-term consequences are of transitioning to lab grown meat, so I don't think it will take root.

Do you know how much meat we could have without factory farming?
