no .. im a vegeterian because I LOVE ANIMALS .. not the mistreatment part but thats very wrong no matter what.

Yes, I would and I think vegetarians should support this exciting development. Cultured meat has the potential to end the suffering of literally billions of animals.

Hmmm...I have thought of that, and really...it discusts me just the thought of a piece of flesh growing in a container. I was born to dislike meat, I hate the texure and taste, so I guess I wouldnt, but I am sure many people who eat meat but love animals would try it. I am sure many peopl ewould spare the lives of animals if the meat was cheap and tasted like what it is supposed to.

As the article says, the meat is cultured from animal tissue. That animal tissue has to come from somewhere right?


To quote the article:

Mellon believes that all our food should be grown lightly on the land, using the riches of the Earth and the power of the sun — not in a factory.

"Picture it: You've got a big compound of buildings with scientists running around tending big vats of cultured cells, making sure that they're all at a constant temperature, that the cells are being kept sterile," she says. "I mean, where does that energy come from? That's a lot of fossil fuel."


It may be better for the animals, but not better for the environment, and I imagine some animals would still need to die, just not nearly as many.

I personally would not eat it, and only reluctantly support the idea...

I think someone should do a study, demonstrating how much more energy efficient it would be to eat everything we grow instead of feeding so much of it to livestock. This idea could help push the farming industry in that direction.

No, I'd rather go straight for the vomitting, thanks

I would not eat that, its not so much that the animals are suffering that’s the problem for me (However that’s a huge problem that should be fixed), its just the thought of eating something’s flesh is the grossest thing to me, and as if eating something that is living is gross enough now you want me to eat something that grows in a container? So there is no way I would eat that, however, I assume if it is like “real” meat the other people eat it would be a very nice alterative to killing billions of animals for someone to eat.


Meat Is Meat, If its born and rised to be eaten, or grow in a lab, its not right in my mind.
