I prefer a vegetarian diet, and being lactose intolerant, I wind up being mostly vegan.

You’d think I’d applaud this research, but I don’t. I do not find any of this cultured meat attractive - I don’t want to eat it, I don’t want to look at it. I’d rather eat natural beans and rice and veg. I’d rather eat a real chicken than this fake stuff.

When are we going to learn to think about what we put into our bodies and start avoiding all this processed food?

“A Future of Lab-Produced Meat?”

What’s the big deal. They already do this in many Asian countries.

“Others are motivated by the high environmental cost of animal agriculture, which produces a staggering amount of pollution and uses land inefficiently.”

The concept of efficiency is an economic one but here it is spoken of in other terms, primarily ideological. This is the same ideology that does not complain when millions of acres are put under the plow to grow corn to burn in motor vehicles.

If we want to talk about inefficient land use, let us talk about the consequences of borrowing money from China so we can pay ethanol distillers a subsidy that allows them to bid up the the price of corn by 50% and in turn allows corn farmers to bid up the price of land by 50%. That has vast economic consequences for the price of other grains and meat as well.

My concern is that the producers of this product will not be able to resist genetic tuning to improve attributes they consider important. In doing so they will introduce genes from dissimilar species that may have later implications for those who consume these products over time. These products must not become an experiment with the public as the test subjects and in the process we contaminate and irreversibly alter our internal biospheres.

I used to think that, other than radioactive or persistant poisons or heavy metals, if you composted something and then ate the meat from animals that ate the plants grown there you would separate yourself from bad stuff.

Alaskan brown bears have been tested positive for seaborne nutrients from eating grass that was fertilized by dead salmon.

You are what you eat, I guess.
