- Gordonjcp 4y agoExcept they're not, because they're illegal. You cannot sell livestock that have been fed growth hormones.
- programmarchy 4y agoThe FDA has approved all of the growth hormones currently in use. [1] So how is that any worse than growing the entire thing in a lab? If anything lab-grown meat is a more extreme version biological engineering.

- ben_w 4y agoI think the concern is feeding them other cows, growth hormones, and antibiotics to make them put weight on faster.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoYeah, that's illegal though and if you do that you cannot send your cattle for slaughter.
