Mainstream diet advice is garbage and more and more people are waking up to this. This fake meat produt has THE SAME ISSUE AS MARGARINE HAD: people think it's safe because a few "experts" say so. This is what happened to margarine. In reality artifical food is always a bomb waiting to go off inside of you. So this artifical meat is the modern equivalent of what "margarine is healthy for you" was ~60 years ago.

What exactly do you mean by artificial food here? Anything substantial? Or is this a 'GMO BAD' type argument? Does enriched rice count as artificial? Modern bananas? Modern corn? Modern cows and pigs? Do vegan meat substitutes count as artificial food? All these things listed above are very viable and healthy options for people to eat. The proof is in the pudding (XD) as people eat this stuff constantly, and at massive volumes, worldwide, without dying or whatever. Also, who are you speaking on behalf of? Who thinks lab-grown meat is so safe? Who doesn't have concerns about the safety of this meat? It seems you're making ridiculous claims not based on any of the relevant literature.

> This fake meat produt has THE SAME ISSUE AS MARGARINE HAD: people think it's safe because a few "experts" say so. This is what happened to margarine. Sometimes experts are wrong, that does not mean that they are not still our best hope of being right about things. Otherwise we may as all just listen to the village idiot's twitter account and inject bleach. > In reality artifical food is always a bomb waiting to go off inside of you. It really isn't any different than "real" food just because it is made in a lab. It may not have the same exact qualities as its natural equivalent, but "natural" by no means is the same as "safe" or "healthy" anyway. Do you want me to show you pictures of giant puss-filled cysts in a cow carcass? Or should we talk about Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease? There is nothing inherently good about "natural" and evil about "artificial", as your posts seem to imply.
