What is the difference between meat grown in a egg or animal womb versus a lab? Why would be worse than the other?

It was also just soy and lentils.

There's a lot of slaughterhouses where the animals suffer a lot. And that's just the slaughterhouse, many times animals live a terrible life condensed together and in constant stress.
There is no justification for it, especially with plenty of vegan options and soon we'll have fake meat.
People just don't want to admit that they support this cruelty purely for their tastebuds. It's quite sad.
No wonder aliens don't want to reveal themselves to us. How can you respect human beings if we treat lower lifeforms and nature as something to be used up without mercy? We give no consideration and compassion to less intelligent species, why should ETs that are more intelligent than us show us any respect and compassion?
Ill eat people before i eat vegan. Animals were put on earth for MAN and other animals to use,eat,raise.
The chickens raised on a chicken farm are normally so stupid they will drown if left in the rain. NO JOKE.

"Lab-grown meat typically has the same nutritional components — like protein — which also means it can come with the same unhealthy aspects — such as high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol — as traditionally made meat."

We used to grill steaks every Sunday for years.
That stopped about 10 years ago.
Even butcher shops weren't getting the same quality beef. The meat in grocery stores just isn't the same....and worse than butcher store quality.
Test tube beef is not gonna happen for us.

I thought of getting into growing micro greens. Some people are saying you can make decent money off them once you have your set-up going. Also, itd just be nice to grow some nutritious food.

You're lucky to have access to meat that isn't pumped full of antibiotics.

We have the opportunity, with modern farming, to move away from factory farming. It's a shame that we still make up bad excuses to justify it.

The fact that red and processed meat are class 2A carcinogens and are high in artery-clogging saturated fats has a lot to do with my preference.

It's seems the USDA has approved lab grown foods "Lab-grown meat is produced in large steel tanks using animal cell manipulation"
Who on Earth would buy or eat this stuff Is this going to be the norm ?
Would this explain all the food factory disasters and the killing of live stock ? There is no way this isn't a control feature we will have to deal with in the near future . We will all have Food replicators in our kitchen filled by the Government and rationed by the government .
Trust the Vaccine ? Then Trust our fake food also ! Time to start keeping chickens and Rabbits Quails ....

To me this would mean no more fast food no more Processed foods no more going out to eat no more ordering pizza no more eating anything that I can't verify as real down to the last ingredient .
What could go wrong ?

Yes and that's why technology like this may or will likely make that happen. When people would say to me "It could be worse" I always reply with "It could be better".

You did not answer my question.
"Lab-grown meat is produced in large steel tanks using animal cell manipulation"
A petri-dish or bioreacter is exactly like an egg or animal womb is it not? What makes an egg or animal womb better in your opinion?
You could argue that the latter options grown into a complete animal, which is then slaughtered and select portions of the mean butchered and served versus a specific portion of meat / muscle being grown in a lab for direct consumption.
I would still prefer animal protein to bug "protein"..
