https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/lab-grown-meat/  (Copy and paste the link if it doesn't work)

Over the next several years, some expect cultured, or "Lab-Grown" meat to have a significant presence in our markets (Verstrate, P. 2018). 

The stem cells can be taken from animals without killing them, and one sample would produce tons of food. The muscle tissue would be grown in a "lab" and currently costs a lot, but without the need of raising a whole live animal, it is expected that it will eventually be much more efficient that raising a real animal. 

Also important to consider is the environmental impact. An article in a the well-respected Science magazine recently published an article that reviled just how much damage eating meat can have on the environment (Poore, J. & Nemecek, T., 2018). Joseph Poore, who ran to study said "A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth", saying it is far more important than emissions from our cars. 

Secondly, more and more people are concerned about the ethical treatment of animals, or so it seems to me. In one scholarly article, a former slaughterhouse worker said "They hit ’em [sic] with crowbars even though these aren’t supposed to be in the plant, they stick the stun gun in their eyes, or they don’t even bother stunning them, just hang ’em [sic] on the chainsquirming and struggling. (Purcell, 2011)."

However, to some people, the idea of eating "frankenmeat" is just too off-putting.

Would you eat it?

I don't see why not. Granted I would probably wait a bit once it hits the market because you never want to be among the first to try it (without getting paid) but I wouldn't be concerned changing my diet to this.

People are way too sensitive and scared by science/manmade products because they don't even understand it. The single worst excuse I've heard many times is "There are chemicals in that no thanks". Every single thing has chemicals in it. The water you drink, that vegetarian food you once ate, everything. If this lab grown meat has the exact same composition of chemicals as the "real deal", it is the exact same and it will not give you a higher cancer risk.

If this will cause less animal suffering and have a better effect on the environment there are no relevant downsides.

The link took me to a "Sorry, we can't find the page you're looking for" page. With that, I have to ask... What exactly is meant by "without the need to grow a whole live animal"?

I'm sorry. I like to think myself somewhat open minded, but that's just straight up disturbing. If I have to pick between vegan and lab grown meat, I'll learn to trap and hunt. That's just... no

m0ssb3rg935: It means what you think it means. Literally, just muscle tissue being grown in a dish, not animal, not skin, no bone, just muscle (and eventually some fat and connective tissue I'm sure). I think you have to copy and paste the link.
Furret: I think it will be a slow and gradual occurrence anyway. They already have created some, and they expect it to start on a small scale in about 5 years. I completely agree with you and people who are afraid of everything "unnatural".  The minute something has a sort of long name to it, they think it's terrible. It's called chemophobia.

I'd eat it as long as it doesn't taste too bad. There's no way I can go vegan no matter how hard I try, I just love eating meat so much. Hey, if this prevents animals from being mistreated in any way, I'm all for it as long as it doesn't pose any greater health risks.

I wouldn't mind it, I suppose. I mean, they already do lots of crap to the meat we eat today. I realize it's a big difference, but if it's approved by all of these health organizations and whatever, and if I enjoy the taste, then okay. Helps the environment and saves animals. Why not at least give it a shot?

At least to my point of view, mostly as long it doesn't make me sick and die, I can be alright to eat Lab-Grown meat.

The reason I do go with Lab-Grown meat, because we are going to eventually overeat everything at a point that we will run out of animals to eat, and can cause a lot of problems.

Furret : Agreed with your saying about "Chemicals", every food you eat that has already been prepared already had some sorts of chemicals added in them (even extreme traces of them), even in organic foods. If you want to eat a cheeseburger without chemicals in them, then go find a cow, harvest it's milk and make it into cheese, then slaughter the cow to get the meat  for yourself, and grow your own wheat and make the buns, if you can't be able to do that, then you have to deal with the chemicals in your food.

Minuano : A lot of fast food places does this as well, because most of their food is processed food, and personally, I don't really care too much about that though. I occasionally eat at fast food places, and sure, fast food places is bad for my health, but at the same time, I enjoy the taste of those foods as well.

I would eat lab grown meat if I couldn't tell the difference between lab grown and old natural. Honestly does it really make a difference if it's genetically altered food or organic?, take watermelon for example the watermelon we eat and see today looks nothing like the  watermelon seen 50 years ago because majority of the food today already has been gradually modified over the years rather it be by genetic manipulation or simply because we've grown it in places it's not native to... at the end of the day as land to farm grows smaller and smaller and as population increases we have to look at lab grown food as a possible choice or alternative to old natural
