    As an avid carnivore I’m excited about lab grown meat. I think anyone against it just doesn’t realize what it is. It’s literally meat. It’s just not attached to an animal. That’s all it is.

    The best part is because it’s not attached to an animal that needs animal things, it’s basically free limitless meat. What meat lover wouldn’t want that? Come on now.

    I’m not too fond of all the lab grown microplastics though.

      I have seen vegans come out against lab grown meat…for…reasons? I get why they’re vegans because of “traditional” meat, but lab grown meat doesn’t have the problems of “traditional” meat LMAO

          I’ve seen a mixed response in the community.

          I’ve been vegan for about 4 years and I will be all over lab grown meat if/when it “makes it”.

          The biggest issue I remember reading about was “fetal bovine serum” which, IIRC, was needed continuously throughout the process.

          Personally, if all that’s required to get started is a cell sample from a living animal which isn’t harmed beyond the sample (minor and far from life threatening or causing suffering) then I’ll be eating it for sure.

      I’m a flexitarian with meat cravings every so often and I’m exited for Lab-meat too. I’m totally with you know this.

      And come on, how many of these people screaming about lab meat actually know where their meat comes from. Most of it comes out of meat processing plants and the thought of these makes me really squeezy. Every now and then there are investigative pieces about them and they are all disgusting and really concerning. I’d take lab-grown any day.

        Yes! Processed meat scares me. People have no issue with it though. Don’t look up what’s in it if you want your stomach to stay where it is.

      Also, the meat flavors can be refined and adjusted for better results. The proteins and fat can be precisely calculated to make objectively the best steak available to mankind, ever. People against lab grown meat have no idea when they order a steak they are being fed propaganda.
