In Vitro Meat

I wouldn't eat it myself because I am perfectly happy and healthy on a vegan diet & know there is no need to eat meat.
I think it would be a big step up from people farming live animals, I just don't know how comfortable people would be with eating a science experiment...
I would be perfectly comfortable with other people eating it, although I imagine there would still be negative health implications... but at least the person choosing to eat it would only be impacting their own health, not the lives other sentient beings.
One downside is that making this IV meat would perpetuate the falacy that meat is necessary for a healthy human diet, and continue to normalise our consumption of it.

I saw this the other day. It sounds great to me, but I'm a bit skeptical of Bill Gates' motives, given his support of GMOs and his financial investment in Monsanto (the devil.)

I heard about this a while ago and think it's a great idea. Personally I don't think I'd eat it, I might try it seeing as I've never had meat and wouldn't feel guilty about it. I'd have no problem with others eating it, if there's no pain involved for the animal then that's awesome! Only the people eating it can damage their health. Plus as much as we'd like it to happen, a lot of people out there will never give up meat so this looks to be the best alternative

I dont think i would eat it. Ill stick with my natural veggies. And i think its probably a good alternative to regular meat for nonvegans. But, what is it made of? It cant be that healthy if its directly made to mock meat.

It's made from stem cells and is the exact same thing as meat just not grown from a live animal with a nervous system.

I myself would have no problem with others eating it (there is no ethical or environmental effect). But I don't think I would try it, being Vegan is the best thing I've ever done health wise and meat is just not necessary to be healthy.

depends if it would actually be tasty?

I've read that it is grown from muscles cells, but wether it's stem or muscle this means that at some point cells were extracted from animals...the development of this product involves some exploitation/cruelty. So I personally wouldn't eat it.
It's still an ethical puzzle, because it would (hypothetically at least) remove the demand for factory farming (and that is very hypothetical because who's to say that it would be accepted by the mainstream omni population? And is it an economically viable alternative?) in that respect there may be less (numbers of) animal suffering...
Hmmmm, I think I need to research more. At this point it's not sitting right with me.

It's a great idea but I couldn't

I don't know whether to be happy or to throw up with this.

Surely people aren't that desperate for something that tastes like animal flesh. Will be interesting to read the comments on the article.

Though I suppose if it stops the senseless slaughter of animals just to quell the insatiable hunger people have for animal flesh then it's ok.

It's interesting isn't it? I guess everyone draws the line in a different place and I, personally, love that we are all different.

I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole to put it politely! For me, I don't even like the idea of meat grown in a tube as opposed to killing an animal. The implications are pretty important, though. For instance, maybe now we'll have holding pens for animal cell collection? I certainly hope not but judging from practices in the past, I wouldn't be surprised.

There are too many health benefits from going vegan/vegetarian to even contemplate eating meat again, plus I can't stand the taste anymore. Once again, this is such a personal thing, it's hard to answer.
