I have no ethical issues with it, but since I haven’t intentionally eaten meat in decades, I have no desire to. Meat would just taste off at this point.

If it’s offered to me, sure. I’m not going to seek it out tho.
What I’m excited for is synthetic dairy milk

As long as the ecological impact is not to bad sure

I’d like to see the ecological footprint first, but I would be inclined to try it if it was sustainable. I don’t really miss any kind of meat apart from fowl occasionally.

No, I have been vegetarian since I was 9 years old and I don’t have any desire to eat meat aynmore.
I have also never liked the taste of white meat – I used to only like beef and pork. But I think it’s healthier not to eat any red meat.. so no matter if it’s lab-grown or from an animal.. I’m not going to eat it 🙂
​
But I think the idea of lab-grown meat is great & could aid in solving the ethical and environmental issues of our current meat industries.
It would be a really great option for everyone who can not or doesn’t want to commit to a vegetarian or vegan diet!

I might try it but I don’t expect I’d like it if it had the same texture as animal muscle.
Only having been vegetarian for 2 years, I am occasionally tempted to cheat. My last time cheating I had a chicken sandwich and couldn’t eat it because the texture of the muscle fibers while chewing made me want to hurl.
All that is to say that I think it’s a good development for a number of reasons, ethical, sustainable and ecological.

I have no desire to eat meat ever since it has been so long, but I like the idea as an alternative for others who want to eat it. Of course if it’s ecological impact is not too bad.

Sure. After all it is ahimsa friendly.

Yes! I am vegetarian for ethical reasons,so I would love to try lab grown. But why does it take until 2028?

I would need to see the details of large-scale production and how it works long-term. Can they use and divide the same cell lines indefinitely? If so, I probably would eat it. However, if they need to continuously raise and kill animals to create new cultures, even if it is on a much smaller scale, I would not support it.

I’m interested in theory, and I think it’s cool that such things are in reach, but in practice I think eating something that tastes and feels exactly like meat, even if it’s not from an animal, would weird me out too much.
untot3hdawnofdarknes on
No. I don’t ever miss meat, so I don’t need this. But if other people are into it and no animals are getting hurt that’s awesome.
burritscoldinhere35 on
Nah, I rather stick to my veggies 😋

I’m vegetarian for ethical reasons, not for my health. I’d definitely incorporate it for protein and to counterbalance wheat and soy that’s out of proportion in my diet but I wouldn’t rely on it. Probably couldn’t afford it anyway. I’m waiting for lab produced milk too.
bobozzo on
Been a vegetarian all except one year of my life. The taste and texture of meat has always freaked me out so I’ll have to pass on this. But it’s nice to see for people who give up meat for ethical reasons they can have something like this
renotokes on
I’m super excited to try it. I’ve been waiting for the fake real meat to drop since like, high school.
Withered_Kiss on
Yes. I always loved meat. I stopped eating it for ethical reasons. But as soon as I can get meat without killing animals, I’ll start eating it again.
sunrisedilayla on
No. Haven’t eaten meat in 25 years, that isn‘t gonna change, no matter where it‘s coming from.
Share_Gold on
Personally I wouldn’t because I don’t like the taste or texture of meat. But I think lab grown meat is such a great idea for people who’d like to cut down on eating meat for health reason, or climate reasons, whatever, but they really enjoy the taste! Hopefully this will really take off.
tjm_87 on
as a vegan who’s never had steak, sushi, fried chicken and countless other things YES, PLEASE YES. haha reading other comments i think i’m definitely in the minority here. never ever been tempted to eat the real stuff, but as soon as this shits possible i’ll be the first one down the aisles
TheDeuceBaba on
Yes, once the price is comparable to plant based meat substitutes.
DharmaSimmer on
Its definitely better than killing animals for meat and would allow our agricultural industries to focus on growing plant foods instead of housing large numbers of heavy methane producing animals.
I wouldn’t eat it because my body is not accustomed to eating meat and it would make me sick. Lab grown or not.
Kireina25 on
I hope this does not offend, but religion comes into my decision to try lab grown meat. If Jewish religious authorities call it kosher and not a meat product, I would probably be willing to try it.
gard3nwitch on
Honestly, I’m so out of the habit of it that I probably wouldn’t. But I’m glad that this is moving forward. Factory farming is bad for animals, bad for humans, and bad for the environment.
Livingdedgorl on
Only if zero animals were harmed in the process
sarcasmismysuperpowr on
I honestly can’t wait. I’m a veggie for climate change reasons. I love the taste of meat. Would love to eat something like it again
Personally, I’m not interested. Meat grosses me out.
mtandy on
In a heartbeat. I’m just here for ethics.

2028 is not soon enough. I do hope it eventually becomes an affordable option for pet food. A lot of pets are becoming allergic to industry animal meat, likely due to the meat animals’ diet and medications.
Also, they may want to find a fun new word for “lab-grown.”

I used to run a blog about veganism and I actually did a [study](https://theveganscholar.blogspot.com/2016/01/33-of-vegans-and-47-of-vegetarians-want.html) on this back in 2016, if anyone is interested. Back then, I found that 33% of vegans and 47% of vegetarians wanted to try lab-grown meat. I wonder if the statistics are any different now?
