Penicillin comes from a lab,you sure you never ever used that?

Penicillin is a naturally occurring antibiotic discovered  in 1928 by Alexander Fleming. And as far as I'm aware all antibiotics are naturally occurring. They will of course have been refined in a lab for medical use.

You do know that canola oil is rapeseed oil, right?

You know there is cold pressed oils? Extra Virgin? And also countries who have forbidden gen modified seeds?

Lab grown insulin has kept me going for about thirty years; laboratory meat is not too scary.

[1FinickyOne]

Actually sounds like it could be cleaner than stuff grown outside, amidst the poisons etc... 

[Mbolo]

I eat it regularly here in Hua Hin. Tastes fine to me.

[Plurals]

Yes, but just to say i did it. Just like i had insects and snake to eat in thailand.

Do you use canola oil when you are cooking? The odds are 99% in favor of it coming from a genetically-modified plant.

Canola vegetable oils certified as organic are required to be from non-GMO rapeseed. So look out for the "organic" certification.

No way. People with a eating disorder eating only vegetables maybe can't help destroying their health.

The term "organic" always amuses me, as I have yet to see an inorganic foodstuff.

Pregnant women sometimes develop a craving for chalk, but that's about it.

You are right. Same for "Bio" etc. But in this case "organic" seems to be a restricted term to denote Canoli oil without any genetic influence to the product (at least that is what Wikipedia says).

"Organic" may also mean no fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides or preservatives were used during farming and after harvesting. It's a catchall description.

So be it. Even better. I do not like pesticides in my food anyway.

[AgMech Cowboy]

No, I see zero cause to eat this type of processed food (unless that's all there was to eat).  I wouldn't be surprised if it takes more energy to 'grow' this lab stuff than to raise it on a farm.

[Freddy42OZ]

I'd eat meat harvested from humans if it was affordable.  

I don't care where it comes from so long as it tastes good and is cheap.

Ate a vegan burger once and it was horrible.

I had a slice of vegan pizza once.  The box it came In probably had more taste

Meat grows in paddocks on Farms Not in a Lab.

Next they grow people in a lab ,They tried that already .

What in Satans name is Normal Natural anymore .

 They've already got Genetic modified Grains and other plants/veg.

Is this for the Better? I don't know .

If they stuff around too much things  may go wrong and start an epidemic of some sort.

No.
and it is not "meat"

No - as long as real meat exists why should I try artificial "meat"?

It's healthier, and the Impossible Burger, to me, tastes better than your average hamburger. I was highly resistant until I was finally convinced to try one. It was fantastic.

 

[Skeptic7]

Which also translates to...50% would try it.

 

As 33+ years on a plant-based diet, I would not. That said, always in favor of reducing/eliminating as much exploitation and suffering as possible. This certainly helps that cause and is a step in a more humane direction. The suffering and cruelty to sentient creatures for mainly taste pleasure is unfathomable to most. Would also reduce emissions and land use, so better for the environment. Though nothing is ever perfect, seems a good idea and a win for all sides.

Vegetable based fake meat is garbage and should have never been invented.

An astoundingly ridiculous, garbage broad-brushed statement based solely on your taste buds and should never have been written. What about the millions (and increasing) number of people, including me, whom disagree? So you don't like it. That's perfectly fine and acceptable, but others do.

 

That said...totally agree with the remainder of your post.

Here's what ChatGPT has to say:

 

'Yes, lab-grown meat is real meat. It is generated by growing animal cells in a lab using various techniques, and it is made up of the same cells, proteins, and nutrients as conventionally raised meat. Although it is produced in a different way, it is still considered real meat'.

 

So it seems to me that it is possibly healthier to eat than the 'real' stuff, giving the way many animals are raised and the junk that they're feed on, especially hormones and antibiotics.

 

And it has to be kinder on the environment.

For those saying "no way", how would you feel about getting a lab grown organ transplant, assuming a human one wasn't available?

strawman argument????‍♂️
no, i would not do that either.

Lab grown meat was for the first time made available a week ago. I doubt you regularly eat it in Huahin.

We used to walk every where,now we fly.Is that natural?

With the amount of people on the planet there is a need to do something in order to save space and grow more food.

What i have been reading about it it would be a great additive to the meat market.

That has nothing to do with lab grown meat though. I also don’t like Durian so I won’t eat lab grown meat. ????????????????

It is meat. Actually better because it excludes some undesirables.
