Would You Eat Lab-Grown Meat? Soylent Green on the Horizon?

"No longer the stuff of science fiction, animal-free meat that’s grown from stem cells in labs is likely to become a viable option sooner than we think."

I have a black lab so, no...

I'll pass 🤢

I mean it's not Soylent Green and they should definitely not call it that. But I mean as long as it tastes good sure.

No different than a lab grown "Impossible Burger."  Suuuuure, it's  "plant based."

People have been eating stuff like this without even knowing... so everyones answer is a YES, even if they say no they will still end up eating it.

I was just gonna say....aren't all the cool kids already eating this crap?

[EmotionallyUnstable]

It wouldn’t be the worst thing I’ve even ingested

I'm fairly certain a lot of the stuff on the supermarket shelves are already lab grown or at least 10 times removed from being natural, so I probably already have.

Yup! /smh...

[LeviF]

Hell no. I’ll keep buying half cows from the farmer across the county thanks.

If it tastes good, and doesn't kill you, eat it. That's how we survived as a species...

 

Imagine the first person to eat cheese...

Well, somebody used a 3D printer to print a pork chop some years ago so it’s certainly plausible.

There's a huge difference between genetically modified food (common) and growing meat in a petri dish (so to speak).

 

This is new.

The beyond burgers are good and not the same approach as the impossible burgers. I still eat meat but I enjoy the beyond burgers on the grill. 

 

They have come a looooooong way on veggie burgers in the last 5 years. They were borderline inedible then. Now with just the normal condiments, the texture matches and taste approximates the real thing. 

 

My 70 year old meat eating father in law has been eating with us every night since March and we eat beyond meat and gardein products at least once a week in tacos, chili, stew, sloppy joes, buffalo fingers, spaghetti sauce...he's never noticed the difference and in those contexts, you'd really only notice side by side. We also eat normal meat sometimes. And sometimes we just eat veg (mostly Indian).

You're damn right I'd eat lab-grown meat: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2020/10/30/mcdonalds-mcrib-2020-barbecue-sandwich-returns-december/6082497002/
