I wonder who the market for lab-grown meat would be. I bet that 99% of vegetarians (myself included) and maybe 90% of meat eaters would never eat it. Meat eaters will insist on “real meat” and vegetarians don’t want any meat.
- dmbche 3y agoI think if the subsidies for meat are stopped or reduced this becomes much more interesting - kind of like synthetic fuel is stupid today, but when most cars are EVs synthetic fuel becomes a good idea for car enthusiasts.
- hhjinks 3y agoEveryone who eats meat, but who don't consider it part of their identity. People care about taste and price. If lab meat is just as tasty and cheaper than farm meat, regular people are going to pick the cheaper alternative, save some massive scare campaign. "Meat eaters," as you call them, generally don't consider themselves as such.
- Ekaros 3y agoI think meat eaters would eat it. If it was better or at least cheaper than what we are currently buying. My understanding is that we are not actually anywhere close to that point. And products are closer to the cheap products than anything quality. Think of pink slime...
