Haha!

But to keep on point - I think it's interesting and cool that we think of such things, but I think the money spent making fake meat, likely could have been spent developing cow farms in areas, you know?

Everyone thinks high tech and cutting edge is better, I happen to disagree. I think old school is better until proven otherwise..

In 10-20 years' time do you think that people will even have a choice? Future generations will probably have no clue what old school will be as teachings in public school systems and the World Health Organization as well as the medical system will adapt to new types of food entering the markets. Then MSM will come on board creating more fake news about how great this lab meat is. Health fitness gurus and mainstream YT videos will all be on this bandwagon....until a wheel falls off.

95 % of the meat in our freezer, I have either hunted myself or traded with neighboring farmers. The only store bought meat we got is meat that is not readily available in this country.
So I know what I eat, do you do that with the lab meat?
Lab meat - It's perfect if you would like to put in an ingredient that allows you to turn people into sheepels......

One question,

Are the really rich and wealthy eating it?

Yeah, you try the labmeat and im gonna go hippie and eat my bugs with some salt and peppa ..

I think it will work out great, its not like our 4,5 billions years of evolution has any part in our food chain..

Well, give me the real deal. Let those who want to eat factory produced guff eat factory produced guff.

I will buy meat sourced from animals who have lived under high standards of welfare and husbandry. Always have and always will. I cannot see that changing in my life time. I celebrate the differece between a well hung pheasant (not peasant), or topside versus fore ribs, or a good cured Wiltshire ham, or some stringy old hen made into a pot roast. No chance a factory could replicate anything like what I can get.

In 2013, it cost around $325,000 to engineer a five-ounce in vitro hamburger constructed from pieces of beef muscle tissue all grown in a lab. Now, with advances in the industry steadily pushing this field forward, the price has been whittled down to just $11.36 — that’s 30,000 times less than when it was first introduced.

No, just no.

There is something wholly unholy about "constructed from pieces of muscle tissue grown in a lab", cheeseburger.

Considering the companies like Tyson, what they sell now can;t rightly be considered meat anyway.

Who will be able to tell, anyway? Their chicken nuggets in the grocery store are bits of "Mixed bird meat", batter coated and deep fried. I don't know what goes into the vat.

Anyone who has ever had real grass fed beef slo grown to maturity without hormones, or a free roaming chicken knows the difference.

Absolutely! Unfortunately, those of us who have tasted home-grown are getting fewer and fewer. Best I can describe it is it's like a homegrown tomato versus a supermarket tomato. More people can relate to that.

Something to think about is that if the human race actually makes it to the stars, lab created protein will be the norm. Science Fiction writers have already introduced it. It was only a matter of time....

As long as it tastes good, is healthy and nutritious, and cheap, I'm in.

I want to live. I want my food to have life. Lab meat has never lived and gives no life... and Ill NEVER eat it and hope I teach my fam better than to eat sick things like that.Besides, I require a LOT more fats than some folks. Did you know lots of folks have starved to death with a belly full of squirrel?? No fat. There is such a thing as too lean and we require a balance.

.... plus I see a market for the cannibal curious crowd...

When you are so hungry that you could eat anything served in front of you the last thing on your mind is taste. First feeling to satisfy is the feeling of being full
