Sure, why not? I don't eat meat currently but I'd prolly throw in a lab burger or two occasionally if they were available
Of course not, I want my food to suffer.
Why not?
Assuming it becomes a viable product, I wonder how it'll impact veganism? Since there's no animal cruelty.
In theory, veganism is only opposed to conscious animals that didn't consent to being eaten, so I see no reason why they'd be opposed
That's one variety of veganism, but hardly the only reason to go vegan.
Do you care to expand on that?
Sure. While animal welfare is a popular reason to go vegan, so is environmentalism βmy own reasonβ and so is personal health. If the lab-grown meat is worse for the environment than a plant-based diet, people concerned about the environment will still choose the latter.

Sure. Custom meat, without the unnecessary parts sounds great.
Depends on whether if it can be integrated into any of my recipes; or could be used in different recipes that taste good. Since it matches the price criteria for me; all that remains is the taste.
We donβt eat red meat at all, so I would probably try it out fairly quickly. Actually we donβt eat chicken or the like either, only fish, which is something I miss a bit more now and then. We have a dried product called NoChicken that is actually pretty good, so thatβd probably be sufficient for me to wait a bit to see how it goes long term (I.e is it truly safe to consume).
But every now and then, I miss game. Moose and wood grouse mainly. Thatβd probably hook me enough to try it quickly.
500 protein bars...
As if the facists will allow it...
For seafood yes, but I'm unlikely to bother regrowing the necessary gut biome for other meats
Jesus, people bitch about processed foods but have no issues with whatever shit has to be put into this to make it grow?

1st of January of 2025 it is announced that an advance making possible growing any kind of animal tissue in laboratory conditions
Let me tell ya.
Which protein? Sonic hedgehog? Tell genetic engieneers what protein you want, and they will make yeast make that protein. Or ecoli. Or rice. Or tomato. Or anything else.
I'd want to try some exotic synthetic meats you can't or shouldn't get anymore like dodo or dolphin. I wouldn't have the stomach to try it but you can bet there'll be some market for synthetic long pig. For normal consumption though I don't eat much meat now so I'd probably just go with whichever if there's no difference in cost or calories.
Well price would probbly drop if the large scale production method using factory machines arrives. A laboratory synthesis will be scaled if people would buy
