Would you eat artifically cultured meat - muscle tissue grown without a living animal?

You can try to appeal to nature, but in vitro meat would have a far smaller environmental impact than cows eating fertilized crops and farting around.

>> No.1460874

Yes

>> No.1460878

Depends on the meat, I don't like seafood but then again since it hasn't lived in the sea it would have a different taste.

if it tasted good, sure. if you can recreate the majesty of bacon in a lab, I'll be impressed though.

I guess the point of it is to make it taste the same as the real animal. The texture is another thing, though; initially they would be able to make burgers, nuggets and mince. A full muscle (i.e. a steak) would be much harder to synthesize.

Something I agree with PETA on: this needs funding to have a real looking-into.

I'd love to say yes I'd eat meat that was grown in a building somewhere, but I just can't say I would. I dunno I suppose I have to know that some animal somewhere died for me to have my meat.

>> No.1460922

If it tasted good, of course I would.

In other news, it would be great if people who follow vegetarian or vegan diets for ethical reasons could eat meat with a clear conscience.

>> No.1460923

Yes, given its thoroughly tested, tastes similar, and has atleast 90% of the nutrition.

Does this question even need to be asked? Yeah, duh.

>> No.1460959

Think about it...fuck. They could make a steak with all the protein, but no fat. FUCK. THE FUTURE OF DIETS IS UPON US.

I've already had KFC my whole life. No ethical dilemmas yet.

Also, since potentially any animal's tissue could be grown, you could have whale, ostrich, anything you like...

I would eat it as long as it tasted like the real thing.

That'd be a pretty shitty steak. Do you not cook or know anything about food? If the steak was fatless, it would taste like burnt rubber when you cooked it.

>> No.1461063

they wouldn't be endangered any longer :)

They aren't endangered because of people eating them in the first place, bro.

I've been waiting for this since I first saw a news article about it.

Well, people don't actually care where the meat they eat comes from (when they do, they mostly become vegetarians). This fact given, the whole world population would eat turds if they tasted and resembled meat.

>> No.1461308

yes, as long as I do not have to see the actual lab where they grow it

same thing as with regular meat, i guess

yup but you would get heaps of stupid people saying it doesnt taste the same
(even if you gave them 'real' meat and told them it was made in the lab)
etc

lots of stupid people would object for no rational reason,

Sounds good to me. No more odd chunks in my patties and nuggets, what more could I want?

Personally, I'd feel the opposite way. Of course, that's because I have a bit of a morbid fascination with that sort of thing, which is also why I love David Cronenberg movies so much.

>> No.1461482

like grow animal organs using their stem cell?
