We don't even want meat that has been injected with antibiotics.
My wife and I are careful where we source our meat. Much of it is directly from local farmers and ranchers who raise and harvest the animals humanely.
We never eat processed stuff like chicken nuggets. And we don't eat at fast food restaurants.11 Reply
Asker+1 yThat's smart, wish I didn't have to travel a lot of miles to reach the farmers

+1 yIt was flavourless because it was raised from egg to oven in just a few weeks fed on a boring cheap grain diet. Then after plucking it was injected with water to plump up the meat to make it look big and juicer on the supermarket shelf.
With chicken you really do get what you pay for but the supermarkets have convinced people they shouldn't pay more than a few £/$ for it10 Reply

AI Opinion
Honestly, I'm all for exploring new horizons in food, especially if it leans towards sustainability and innovation, so yeah, I'd give lab-made meat a shot! About unknowingly eating it? I'd say the chances are still pretty slim, considering lab-grown meats are still in their experimental and regulatory phase in most parts of the world. But your experience with the taste difference is fascinating! It highlights how varied our food sources can be, even within the same category. Who knows, maybe one day lab-grown meats will become so mainstream that we'll need to specify if we want our chicken "lab-grown" or "farm-raised" at restaurants. 🍗➡️🔬

Depends on how that lab meat is grown. How do they grow it? What from? Vitamins and proteins and stuff? Then the lab meat will be healthier.

You can replicate proteins and vitamins and stuff in a lab
Asker+1 yIm sure that's the question we all wanna know the answer too 😆

We shall see. I think it will be healthy as it can get anyway but my main thing is price and taste
Asker+1 yFor me I just can't shake the idea of messing with nature ever leading to good results.
- +1 y
Maybe. But we mess with nature constantly with medical stuff that has completely improved people's lives.
Asker+1 yI guess improve when it comes to the issues they wanted to cure but medicine has always opened new issues in other places, effecting other organs and stuff and that's kinda the genius behind it, you go to doctors, they prescribe you medicine, the medicine cures the problem but secretly causes another issue that has you returning and putting money in their pocket, big pharma is one of the wealthiest and most corrupt organizations, but they own everything, all smaller companies are owned by big companies and big are owned by bigger and biggest are owned by big pharma, they poison us to heal us, it's basically an unlimited money glitch.
Asker+1 yThere's like 10 major companies that own everything, here is a diagram
https://images.app.goo.gl/VQ3MCZtwT6zEnmnLA
There's one that owns everything and it's the people that control our medicine.- +1 y
I'm not saying that monopolies are good but an artificial spine definitely is. Cochlear implant definitely is. Humans also are living longer than in past times so that's overall great as well. The fact I don't have to worry about polio or whooping cough is amazing. Same with tuberculosis. The fact my birth control works amazing and even makes it to where I don't have periods is amazing!!! So there are definitely great things.
Asker+1 yI guess humans living longer than before all depends on what you believe, as a Christian I believe in the bible and in the bible it's mentioned that it took noah 200 years to build the ark, if that's factual then it would actually mean that the human lifespan has shortened overtime and the way there's air pollution and proven that almost every human has micro plastics in their bloodstream, it only makes sense that it has shortened, although losing your spine function and having nowhere else to turn too wasn't really what I was talking about cause that's different, you already lost it, I mean still having animals and making the choice to change to artificial meat is not only unnecessary but can be negatively effective in our food chain and maybe even our health, personally id rather eat real animals then have too many animals to control from eating all the vegetation and then we drown in air without oxygen lol
Although you are right about some things like improvements when it comes to controlling disease but I guess that would depend on what's in the medicine, of most of it is natural vitamins and minerals then I guess that doesn't really count as messing with nature.- +1 y
I don't believe people lived to be 900 or lived inside the belly of a whale. So no I'm talking about people in the 1700s and 1800s dying in their 50s but we are living to our 80s now.
I didn't already lose it. Artificial spine isn't nature, not natural but it definitely improved people's lives. Same with cochlear implant.
Jesus supposedly healed the blind? We have doctors doing that now with artificial, not natural means.
So it's definitely still pertaining to the conversation. You said anything non natural isn't good. I'm providing cases of things non natural actually working out and being good.
It can happen. If you like meat then that's fine but there's also a side to the beef industry in particular that isn't the best for our environment. So it is an alternative that at least needs to be looked at. Instead of just saying "nope, staying with the current system no matter what. Won't even consider it."
Asker+1 yThat wasn't my point, I mean the point between having something and wanting to change it compared to not having it and wanting to find a solution are two completely different things and I believe in desperate measures cause let's be foreal that's also human nature, it's the urge to want to survive but I mean rn we have animals and don't need artificial meat, I didn't say anything not natural isn't good my point was messing with nature, which is when nature is running its course and you try to improve it artificially, for example surgery is an example of what I'm excluding, if your heart is failing, surgery isn't natural but desperate measures, it's life or death, and if you want to stay alive but an example of what I mean would be Elon musk implanting brain chips on people who have no brain issues, putting brain chips on fully functional brains is messing with the course of nature and I believe that's unhealthy, you are twisting my words by saying that I said all unnatural things are bad because I can assure you I like all my technical devices like computer and phone but there's a difference between needing it and wanting it and I think that's the core that makes all the difference.

I'm just saying, writing it off completely isn't good. Especially considering that there might be a need for it. The cattle industry absolutely affects our environment negatively.
Asker+1 yI don't think I follow? How's so? I'd like to know cause I've never heard of issues with it

Ok hold on I'll get you a link
Asker+1 yHopefully a trusted source
- +1 y
It's a scientific peer reviewed article. If science isn't trusted then... That's not something I can help with lol.
This shows the economic benefits of beef vs the environmental effects.
www.sciencedirect.com/.../S0959652619318037
Asker+1 yGive me a broken down summary cause I don't want to accept their cookies and they don't let me view it without doing so 🙃
- +1 y
Basically the beef industry has so many cows that it's causing a methane issue and highly contributing to green house gasses. Also the equipment and places to take care of all of these cows contributes as well.
They go into the article with percentages on how much is actually effecting the environment vs. the economic benefit. Their findings were that more damage was done on the environment vs the economic benefit of the cattle industry.
Basically it's not overall good for you health wise, red meat but also it's fucking up our environment to keep it going.
But people like ribeye and cheeseburgers so nobody wants a change.
Asker+1 yAnd what makes you think that they aren't just going to add whatever chemical they want to the lab made one, that would mean we are relying on them when it comes to our health and this is a society that puts money over humanity, if they add harmful chemicals that make the flavor good but it's harmful, what decision do you think they will choose there cause I'm convinced what brings them more money will be their choice even if it costs the population their health, at least with the real food I know what I'm consuming.
- +1 y
You don't think they could do that with McDonald's or Wendy's? People are already consuming that in huge numbers.
That wouldn't be specific to lab grown meat.
If they're gonna get you, it's already happening.
I think often people just don't like anything new. That's what they're scared of. If there are any chemicals secretly poisoning is it's already in fast food and soda and snacks already.
Asker+1 yThey are doing it with mc Donald's or Wendy's but the point is that if all meats are lab made then there's really no choice, cause if this lab made meat becomes the main thing then it's only a matter of time before they illegalize slaughtering any animals and then you are forced to eat what they give you, if I wanted to hunt my own food they can get in the way of it, it's why I don't like movements like this and that will be harmful to not just us but the environment, more harmful than the issues we have now.
- +1 y
I mean we'll see. Anything is possible but I Think it will be more of a choice really. Like beyond burger vs. regular burger.
Asker+1 yOne can only hope, it was a good respectful debate mandylorian, youve got good points but It only seems to get worse in society and it thrives off bad decisions from the looks of it unfortunately.
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yWhy not. I ate olestra before I knew that it said on the bag "may cause anal leakage".😆 it never gave me any problems.
Point is you don't know what's really in your food half the time any how. I'm sure I'd be weird about it the first time. But if the flavor and texture wasn't off I'm sure I'd get used to it pretty quick.

731 opinions shared on Food & Beverage topic. I would not and have never eaten 'Lab grown meat'. Every time I buy Chicken, Lamb/Mutton/Hogget, Beef, I buy 'at the farm-gate' so I know the traceability of the meat, and it is usually better value per lb/kilo.

Honestly if this kind of stuff has become relatively easy to do, they should start making it so all our favorite snacks are as unhealthy as they are, or better yet they find a way to make them nutritionally beneficial, even if it’s small. I mean come on, 96% of all vegetables taste like elephant cock for no reason.
Perhaps it is a way to obtain meat without killing animals. This could be future.

Asker+1 yNo it's not, the whole idea of meat is that it comes from animals, if it's made in a lab, it's just genetically modified rubber lol
- +1 y
No. It would be made out of meat cells. Chemically it is meat
Asker+1 yChemically? You mean genetically? Lol
- +1 y
No buddy, chemically. The compounds making up the lab meat are the same as the ones making up meat harvested from an animal corpse.
Asker+1 yBut they are cells, anything cell related is already in the category of genetic engineering I think, either ways youd probably eat shit if someone told you it was good for you 😂
- +1 y
Yes and? You do realize almost every single fruit you eat is genetically modified right? Watermelons don’t have that much red in nature. You’re scared of GMOs because you don’t know what they are, and you think seasoned chicken is “real chicken”. by the way those seasonings were probably GMOs. Not like you’d know that since your IQ is equally as unseasoned and bare minimum as raw chicken.
Asker+1 yYes I do but I'm sure there's a percentage to what's real and what's not, with meat it's all probably fake, so my IQ is low cause I don't do research on GMOs? That's quite an assumption, kinda ignorant, doesn't make sense, you thinking that because someone isn't educated on a specific topic that it makes their whole IQ low, that is kinda a low IQ way of thinking so perhaps you are projecting your insecurities onto me, its kinda the immature behavior i expected from a 19 year old tho so no surprise there.
