Absolutely not.

It's not about the meat, it's about how poor judgement peope have in terms of sustainability.

Meat is meat. And meat is ok.

Whats not okay is mass production of it, or any other kind.

Instead of growing anything in a lab, think about what you consume. This goes for everything. I would much rather eat a chicken that is produced locally than one I have no idea what went through.

This goes for everything I eat. Even though I am not even close to being fanatic.

Its okay to consume but please do it respectfully and reflect upon it.

Lab grown food is simply to futuristic for me

Thats a great, but naive mindset. The average person eats what they can get at the lowest cost. The market dictates consumption for the majority of the population. The populous won't stop consuming unsustainable, anti-biotic ridden, polluting meat until there is a cheaper but equally satisfying alternative.

Yes, I agree most people don't care. But I won't be eating lab grown meat either.

I have the money, and when I consume things, I'd rather they be of good quality (i.e. certain organic foods that are locally produced). Personally I don't mind paying double, triple or even quadruple the price on something if I know it is of better quality and/or healthier.

Then again, I also don't eat meat every single day, while many people do. Probably great for the masses, but not for me.

Lab grown meat is being touted as more sustainable, since you don't have to raise an entire animal.

Also, wouldn't lab grown meat be more precise, like with normal chickens you have no idea what exactly what they ate, or how they mutated. But with lab grown meat it would be the same every time.

[Arthanari]

Raising an animal and growing a piece of meat is entirely different things, they don't compliment each other.

Raising an animal is giving it natural food and let its different organs do its work and let it grow into full animal by using natural processes that has been happening for ever.

Lab grown meat is using artificial process to force some flesh to grow which we recently assume have figured out n force ourselves to believe its authentic, This is something that we have found in last few years.

Why would anyone believe a noob tech when there is a grandiose nature in the picture.

>> like with normal chickens you have no idea what exactly what they ate, or how they mutated.

like with lab grown chicken you have no idea what chemical process got misunderstood/ abused, what particular pound of meat did not go through all the process, and how the human error got over looked, and what decaying factor is involved in this...

How come in the same species one crowd can be thinking organic/ natural/ home grown food and other crowd can be thinking lab grown meat...

[d0lph]

Mutations in nature can happen totally randomly, with no guarantee that they will benefit humans. Whereas in a lab maybe something will go wrong, once we get it right, it's right forever.

On the one hand, I'm not aware of any research that says eating organic foods is more healthy. Also I think it's people reacting to new things, like some people hear lab grown meat and are grossed out, others are excited about a more efficient way of farming. New technology is always divisive it seems.

[drdeadringer]

When this technology becomes mature, what then is your opinion?

Are you as skeptical against all "noob tech" or just this one? Or just "artificial processes" in certain areas like food, whatever you count as that (why not farming or gardening too)?
