Interesting one this, so she is of course right that people can choose to eat more vegetables and I think a lot of people are doing that now. However her attack on lab-grown has drawn a number of angry comments from vegetarians and vegans in the comments.
So what at peoples thoughts? A good step forward on the road to less farming and sustainability or pointless and people should be moving fully to more vegetables?
What about other areas? It would seem ideal for pet food for instance.

That's fine, although interested to know how you see this as careful?
For instance, what are your thought on my point about drugs?

Good point about no antibiotics, tho of course ordinary livestock farmers could also make the decision not to use those themselves. |  |

Not "anti-progress" at all, just careful with a small c, which is no more than sensible. |
Fair enough. I guess I just find it a bit odd that on vegan threads you make a point of the fact that you don't necessarily want to eat meat but you have to for health reasons, and yet when an option comes along to be able to eat meat without any suffering or having to kill an animal your reaction is that you'd rather eat an animal that's been killed.
You've not really shared any specific reasons why you think meat produced in this way would be dangerous other than some vague worries that it is new. But actually it's been in development for a long time and is still some way away from coming to mass market so it's not even that new, and it's quite a different proposition to some of the harmful chemicals you've compared it to in previous posts.
I guess for me if I had to eat meat rather than really wanting to eat meat, I personally would feel more conformable eating animal protein that's not from an animal that's been farmed and killed, unless there was clear evidence of the alternative being harmful. Each to their own I guess. |  |

Stop personalizing it. Fwiw I'd have to be careful about eating any substitute for exactly the same reason I have to be careful about the rest of my diet - a lot of food, for reasons not even the medics know, make the digestive tracts of those with auto-immune diseases such as ulcerative colitis & Chrohns react disastrously. If you had blood & pus coming out of your backside because you'd eaten the wrong thing, you'd be careful too.
What you want and what I *have* to do to survive are 2 completely different things, so kindly stop making arrogant, ignorant comments & leave it there please.
Other people can make their own choices obviously, sensible people will be careful. [Post edited 8 Dec 2020 13:35]

I know you have specific circumstances as you've outlined and I appreciate that and the fact that it makes you cautious with your diet out of necessity.
I am still struggling to understand your angle and equivalences though and the earmarking of people not being hyper-sceptical as not being sensible.
It's the same cells as eating chicken minus the drugs they put into the live chickens. At the base level, all meat is just a collection of cells that have grown. Where they have grown is fairly irrelevant to the end product.
