Ask Lemmy

I'm a vegetarian, and the answer is no. I find the idea of vat-grown meat disgusting, like something out of a bio-mechanical nightmare.

I don't really see the point, so probably not.

Do people know for sure that consciousness emanates from the brain only?

I’m a lazy vegan. I intend to stop eating animal meat as soon as cultured meat is viable. Maybe opportunistic vegan is the term?

Personally I think it's still kind of gross. I wouldn't judge anyone else for eating it though. It's gotta be less harmful to the environment and animals than full strength meat. Right? It is less harmful isn't it? Guys?

I would not east lab grown meat. At this point meat grosses me out, and vegan protein is already very tasty.

I think lab grown meat mostly appeals to meat eaters who recognise that eating meat is wrong but don't have the discipline to go vegetarian/vegan.

i'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but from my experience with various plant-based proteins i honestly just do not see the point

we already have perfectly affordable vegan proteins that, while not identical to meat or even necessarily that close, are absolutely as satisfying to chew on and very tasty.

Really, all you need is a chunk of mostly pure protein of any kind and it's doubtful people are going to much notice the difference if it's part of a dish and they aren't given a chance to study the protein in detail.
The only thing you'd really need lab-grown meat for is steaks, which are overrated anyways and like.. god eating steak is such a violently bougie thing! The shelves with ground meat here are hilarious because the cheaper ground pork is constantly completely sold out while the ground beef is barely even touched, so i doubt people would even notice the disappearance of the steak that costs 6 times as much..
