Re: TODAY ON OUR NEXTDOOR: WOULD YOU EAT LAB CREATED MEAT?

Absolutely not - I want the real thing.  Lab created jewelry might be okay if it's pretty, but not food!

Re: TODAY ON OUR NEXTDOOR: WOULD YOU EAT LAB CREATED MEAT?

I think as the world evolves, meat made from stem cells rather than from slaughtering live animals will be common in the future someday.

 

The advantages of lab-grown meat
Lab-grown meat is made by humanely extracting stem cells from an animal. Then, the cells are cultivated in a solution composed of the types of nutrients the animals would normally feed on for nourishment. The process takes place within a couple of weeks, then the resulting product is removed from the bioreactor and formed into meat. Advocates praise the process as a sustainable way to continue to feed the population and avoid inhumanely slaughtering animals. They also point to positive effects on climate change, reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions created by animal agriculture.

Sure, I will try it.  If it reduces the slaughter of living creatures its a good thing.

Cultured meat costs about $21 a pound. No one is swapping it out for ground beef and chicken thighs in your supermarket and not telling you.

Re: TODAY ON OUR NEXTDOOR: WOULD YOU EAT LAB CREATED MEAT?

Sure.  I don't think it will taste like 'chicken"  You are what you eat holds some sway. and if it's grown in a nutrient bath it's not gonna taste corn fed. 

It's what they Do to it to attempt to Make it taste like something that may totally screw things up.
