Would you eat "lab grown" meat?

[ripcord]

I saw this article about how the state if Indiana has passed a two year moratorium on the sale of cultured or lab grown meat products. Several other states have similar laws.

Would you consider eating artificial meat grown from cultured cells? I think I would lean against it.

I'd need that to be proven safe but in theory it would be perfect. Even if it was a chuck cut it should be super soft but I'm weary of it and would like for a food lab to find any and all chemicals and other things used in it.

Hate to break it to anyone, but if you eat out regularly, chances are you have eaten cultured meat.

Spill the tea, as my daughter would say. What restaurants and since when?

I'm not really against eating it. Never had any though.
Many of the industrial meat production practices aren't really worth keeping either IMO, and I believe the meat processing industry relies on terrible working conditions to keep prices low, isn't really a great thing either.
If we had small family farms, and local slaughter houses and butchers, in every small town, and everyone getting paid fairly, then I would say no to industrial meat.

Thanks for bringing this up, when I eat out again, Crabcakes!

If it’s the same stuff, no problem. Solves a lot of problems.

Not the same stiff, I would hazard to say

No

Maybe not the 1st generation meats. I'm sure eventually it will be engineered to be tastier and healthier than the real stuff, but probably not for a long time.

You or I would probably say 'spill the tea' but Gen Z tends to say 'give us the tea'. Sorry, dad mode taking over....

“Mississippi consumers deserve to know the beef, poultry and pork purchased and served to their families is real farm-raised meat, not something cultivated in a petri-dish,” Gipson said

I prefer my meat the old-fashioned way: Factory-farmed and pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics!

I prefer to have a more personal relationship with the animals I eat. Please pass Buttercup.

It's only been approved for just under 2 years now. There are no large scale production plants I know of. According to Grok3, most of what's available now is either overseas or available in specific settings, like 'taste testing'
