hmmm....well, right now, mentally....HELL NO!

But, I can't avoid the thought that it does seem like a good thing. I probably just need to adjust.

Dark meat? Bones for chicken broth? Formed like a chicken for whole roasted chicken?

Likely the future - perhaps the only efficient, sustainable path to avoid world hunger as populations grow. Glad I won't be around though. Only rich, corrupt politicians, celebrities and big corp will be able to afford real meats, veggies and fruits. The rest of will likely be eating manufactured foods. Someday in the future.....

As long as it's not really soylent green ...

Can they grow it already cooked, medium rare?

Yep, Probably my great grandchildren will have to go to a zoo to see a real cow,pig or chicken.

They're not growing muscles or joints, so this would only apply to ground products. I don't see the ranchers being put out of business any time soon. To get a steak, or roast, you need major muscle groups - meaning a whole animal, and there will still be the byproducts of that animal - some of which becomes ground meat, or competition for this lab grown cell culture.

When they can grow a complete Boston Butt, then I'll worry.

I know you probably meant this tongue-in-cheek, but I get so sick of hearing libtards complain about this.

When anaerobic digestion of plant fiber occurs, gasses are emitted, including so-called greenhouse gasses, CO2, CH4, and others. You could fill the entire planet with ruminants and it wouldn't equal the amount of methane released by other detritivores, like termites.

In short, decomposition will produce gasses in the gut of an animal or on the forest floor. Of course, one of those ways benefits mankind, so it must be bad.

here's the real question is it vegan.

I have the same view.

Only if I can have a side of corn on the cob with xtra GMOs

Vat grown meats have been a sci-fi staple for many decades. Would certainly be interesting in the context of colonization of, day, Mars.

As long as it tastes good, hell yes.

If it never had a face or was directly produced from something that had a face, it is vegan.

Yeah, it just complicates things since you have to grow it in a sous vide bag.

Pretty damn unlikely. Plenty of venison, bear and bacon in my larder, to stomach some kind of lab synthesized shit like that.

I'll become a vegan first.

Hell no!

It could potentially prevent things like this from happening

Can you shoot it before you eat it?

Also, I really can't wait for my own 3d meat printer. Super stoked.

I am old enough that I don't have to worry about this stuff.

There are enough places to harvest fish and game that I/we would not have to eat that artificial shit.

Have harvested bears as well as deer, elk, rabbits, fish, etc. Don't care all that much for bear meat, but would eat it rather than this artificial shit.
