Vegetarians and vegans, would you eat meat created in laboratories, in other words meat that didn’t involve harming or killing any animals?
Vegetarians and vegans, would you eat lab-created meat?
I have been a vegetarian all my life, and I have no idea how it tastes. But to be frank, just looking at meat makes me throw up. I mean...I find meat physically disgusting. Also, I find a lot of variety with respect to vegetarian food and they're really delicious. What you say might make sense to those who were originally non-vegetarians, but later gave up meat on ethical grounds, but still miss the taste of meat. For me, there is no real incentive to eat meat, even if it never involved harming or killing animals. Dad was a non-vegetarian but mom is a vegetarian, still they made a mutual agreement that they would raise their children (me and my elder brother) as vegetarians. And I don't regret it one bit, because I just ADORE animals. If I'm ever given the choice to give up my life in exchange for sparing the lives of a few animals, I would gladly accept that.

I'm not a vegetarian and I still won't eat something that can kill me faster and shorten my lifespand. I want a slow and miserable natural death, not a fast invoked painful death.
I would actually be more likely to question lab grown meat because it would be less natural (obviously I have not done my research intone yet so I don't know for sure what kind of chemicals and steroids and things where used on it so I can't judge) I limit myself on meat (I come from a family like the one from my big fat Greek wedding so full vego is a lot harder for me) because I don't like the heavy feeling created by meat or the knowledge of everything animals are being fed and go through for us to eat them... Really I eat a vegetarian diet because I like it and I like how I feel when eating it, so being made in a lab would be worse for me...

...Nah. I'm not gonna lie me and meat had a love hate relationship. I loved the taste and hated the taste sometimes. I don't think I would want that though. It would probably screw with my mind :p
But...No I feel personally better not eating things that resemble meat.
Great question

No. I've been a vegetarian for about 7 years and yes I do crave meat sometimes. I used to be big time meat lover so cutting it from my diet was really difficult. I know this lab created eat is more humane than real animal meat but I still wouldn't eat it. I don't know why but it doesn't sound too appetizing.
-
I'm a vegetarian and have been my entire life, never tried meat...never want to. Lab grown meat is still an animal product at the end of the day, despite whether it involved harming or killing an animal, the end result is still the same, so no, I wouldn't eat it.
-
If lab grown meat becomes the norm, then they won't feel special and superior anymore if they are eating the same thing as everybody else. Most of them would refuse to eat it so they could still stick their nose up and anyone that did eat it. For most of them, but not all of them, it is about feeling superior to others. That is why so many people can't stand vegetarians, and vegans.

If that happened, I would switch over from eating regular met to lab created meat. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do admit that eating meat when there is an equivalent is pretty unethical.
-
No. Why would I or anyone else want pollute their body with even worse more heavily processed food? Sounds like an increased risk for cancer, other medical defects and death.
-
I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, but it certainly sounds like a better alternative if you're already eating meat.
-
I'm a vegetarian all my life and I wouldn't eat anything created in a lab, it sounds paranoid but if its lab created and its food it must promote cancer.
-
No. We already have lab-created crops out there that kill honey bees and increase cancer rates. Why would lab-created meat be a better alternative?

I would. I'm not crazy for meat anyways, but I'd certainley eat more if no animals were harmed. Same for dairy products

I'm a meat-eater but I'd switch.

Personally no, but ethically yes.

No, that's gross and probably unhealthy.

I don't think I would. Sounds gross.
