I'm sure cancerous cell lines exist, but could you show that those are used in cultured meats?

Also, did you mean cancerous or carcinogenic? Only the latter therm is about the consequences of eating the thing in question.

I invite you to show yourself how these cell lines, which must be immortal to be cultured, come to be. It should be educational. Perhaps I expect too much but in high school, freshman year, we learned about this even in my small town. I look forward to the next genuine interaction.
I'm taking up your offer: please show me. It's clear that you have enough knowledge about it to support your argument, and that I don't even know where to look.
The journey of personal growth begins within. Introductory high school level biology classes are where I learned that immortal cell lines are what causes cancer. And if you read their material on the GOOD Meat site you'll see they admit it without admitting it - the product is "sterilized" and "washed," you don't have to do this with actual meat.

But please, I invite you to research this for yourself. You'll be stunned.

Only immortal cell lines that are integrated with your body are cancer.

Given that you didn't cite any sources, I conclude that your fears stem from believing scary-sounding half-truths.
