I don't eat meat, but if this was more sustainable and had any real benefits over the likes of myco-protein, then yes. But I think myco-protein probably wins the sustainability and economic arguments for the meantime.
Absolutely, as long as it tastes good.
I wonder if it will be classed as suitable for vegetarians ?
Depends if it had lab grown horse in it.... I prefer my lab grown combo burgers
No way would I eat Lab grown burger, are there not any other worthwhile projects these scientists could be working on, rather than creating lab grown burgers.
It does force people to question "if you only object to the slaughter of animals" then you surely have no reason not to try it. I do not like the taste or texture of meat so I wouldn't, but neither do i have any problems with people growing/eating them.
depends what it tastes like and how much it was. it's likely to be less full of crap than anything from mcburger queen or trashcos so why not
Yes I would and I look forward to stuff like this being on the shelves... in about 20 years!
Believe it or not, food production is a serious issue and in a couple of decades, we aren't going to have enough food to go around. Given how many people around the world are currently starving, despite an ample amount of food to go around (it's just not GETTING around), imagine how bad it'll be when that food supply isn't enough?
If it tastes good, sure.
*Slight tangent* So if the meat can be vat grown ethically, without any animals being harmed (you could even start with a sample from a living animal so that NO animals, not even an original 1, would need to be harmed to make the burger), other than disease potential, there would be very few barriers to making 'novelty' human-meat burgers/mince - who would be prepared to try one?
Not yet - the growth media is derived from animals still. IF they could make it completely synthetic, then personally I'd say yes, though vegetarians are vegetarian for many different reasons (culture, ethics, personal preference, misplaced attachment o those big-eyed disney bunnys/lambs...).
Why isn't this project worthwhile if it reduces global demand for animal feed which in turn ensures that there is more food to feed a growing global population?
I don't think I'd have a problem eating cultured meat, in theory, but I expect that it might take some time for it to be produced in a way that truly replicates the taste of high-quality/high-welfare farm equivalents without it being pumped full of flavour enhancers...
I would definitely try it.
If it taste good and is not bad for the body, why not.
Anybody remember "Solyent Green"? (at least, I think that's what it was, age is beginning to ...). The "cultured beef" needs some source material.
I would certainly try it, and commend idea that research is worthwhile.
