Do you have any idea whether meat from factory farms is safe? |
I don't buy factory farmed meat. I don't support factory farming. In general I think it's safe, if inhumane and unnecessary.
There's an article from a vegan who visited a feedlot if you're interested?
Is it really so wrong to question if meat made from feather cells in a lab is safe? I'm merely asking the question, not thrashing the concept. |  |

Well your first post seemed at odds with this more 'wait and see' approach. There's no reason why it shouldn't be safe, it'd be governed by the same regulatory framework as regular meat. |  |

No chance.
I can't think of a form of food supply more open to abuse. Totalitarian. |

When I said rather not bother I meant with meat in general. I don't eat much of it and would rarely miss it. | |

This has been under development for a while, it's all about scale and therefore price. If it can be done on a big enough scale then the price will fall and it will become mainstream.
Also means you can eat literally any animal you want as long as a cell culture is available - elephant carpaccio starters with seared dolphin steaks to become the norm.

I know that eating a pig, cow or chicken that has been made by parent pigs, cows and chickens will always be safe to eat if they have been fed and reared well.
I don't have the same confidence about meat grown in a lab by scientists. |
Something grown under lab conditions will, by it's very nature have been raised in a sterile environment... |  |

This is the sort of lack-of-awareness at best, or ignorance at worst, that is why so many animals around the world are living lives of suffering and dying in hideous ways in the millions every day.
Soy based fake meat product - "EWWW THAT'S DISGUSTING".
Mixture of unidentifiable animal parts such as b0llocks and eyeballs ground up, mixed with god knows how many preservatives, flavourings and colourings then pressed into a friendly shape - "UMMMM DELICIOUS". |  |

In theory, if the source to grow the meat was ethical, it would be a vegan product.
Also, +1 to eating humans, so long as they are free range organic humans that are slaughtered ethically. | |

CIL has spoken about where she sources her meat many time. It doesn't sound as if she's eating mechanically recovered 'turkey' twizzlers. | |

I on't think your argument about humans stacks up. Humans are not a natural part of the human diet. Humans have been eating meat for a massive part of our history. You don't see lions eating other lions or wolves eating other wolves either. Although a good vegan diet probably can give you everything you need you have to admit it's a lot of work and has to be monitored carefully. It would be much simpler to eat quality meat to get nutrients like B12, iron, much more useable omega 3 etc. Omega 3 is a good example. O3 from animal sources is very useable where as ALA has a very poor conversion rate to EPA/DHA. IMO the issue isn't black and white. I massively respect your stance and don't ask you to respect mine. I'll always oppose factory farming and if people want to eat less meat that's brilliant for the environment. | |

Eating animals that died of natural causes is probably as close to vegan you can get without actually being vegan. | |

I don't believe that meat, which is the result of millions of years of evolution, can be reproduced in a lab with identical results in taste, texture, nutrients and health benefits. I don't trust the intentions of those claiming to be able to grow "meat" in labs. Sorry. | |

Thanks J2, you're spot on. It's worth pointing out that it's much easier to access the fresh foods (vegetables, fruit and meat) here than in the UK both because of availability and general food culture. | |

Right. |
Food producers, especially those in the US have a history of putting profits above consumer health. I don't see why I should start trusting them now. | |

I dunno, I just don't think people look very hard and don't like the inconvenience of maybe having to go to more than just one place.
Lovely little farm shop near me and he orders the meat in as well for you if you ask. |  |

Really?
It's a natural process which should be explainable by science given time. Once something is explainable it can be reproducible given time, research and knowledge.
There is no reason why, given research and time the two forms of meat would be indistinguishable, in fact there wouldn't be two forms of meat, there would just be meat.
Not trusting the intentions is different to being able to reproduce identical meat.

I'm sure it's possible over there. There is a different attitude towards food out here though. In the 17 years I've been here teaching adults in company, I've never known anybody to have lunch at their desk, not even once. | |
