What do you think about "lab-grown" meat, if such would ever reach market to speak of?
- xexers 9y agoI'm super excited about it. It would solve all of the problems I listed above (and then some).
- cup 9y agoProbably not point 2. Lab grown meat would probably still need antibiotics.
- jacobush 9y agoI'd say probably not. It should be in a very controlled process.
- barry-cotter 9y agoYeah, if anything is growing in the culture medium that isn’t part of the standard process that batch is waste. There are many, many more ways for growing anything relying on a bioreactor to go wrong than right.
- maxxxxx 9y agoWhy would that be?
- anonymous5133 9y agoNo it would not. It is grown in a sterile environment. Regular meat would have far more dangerous pathogens on it.
- Tomte 9y agoI find that nauseating and gross. Maybe I'll change my mind if I've actually seen and tasted such a piece of "meat", but right now it's on the same level as Soylent for me.
- drdeadringer 9y agoI'm curious: What disgusts you about it? Assuming "meat is meat", is there a difference for you between "grown in a sunlit grassy field" vs "grown in simulated conditions"? Going Further: in "Illegal Alien" by Robert J Sawyer, there is mention of "grown meat", basically meat "grown in and squeezed out of a tube" from a spaceship's bulkhead which crew-members slice out for personal consumption as needed during space flight. Would this also be disturbing?
