Lab-grown meat is produced by culturing animal cells and could serve as an alternative to traditional livestock farming. Proponents argue that it can reduce environmental impact and animal suffering, and improve food security. Opponents argue that it may face public resistance and unknown long-term health effects.

I'm vegetarian so if it helps reduce animal cruelty then yes. It depends on the health implications and cost. I think people should be signposted to a reduced meat diet.
@9QB6BNN9mos9MO
This is a very deep issue and this question does not actually portray the nuance here, such as the energy required in order to cultivate this meat.
Only if extensive research and long term studies are done in order to show the effects on health long term
Yes as long as there is correct testing and labelling of the items that indicate it is not meat from a slaughtered animal similar to the same regs around vegan products that are imitations of cheese etc
No, the Government should push a reduction in meat consumption to improve national health and reduce overconsumption that is putting farms under stress
more research into long term health effects and cost-benefit of how it would reduce environmental impact
@9NL8DWB10mos10MO
I don’t think so, however if tested and it is found to be clean with no side effects or issues then I wouldn’t be against it.
@9N5HV9810mos10MO
Yes, lab-grown meat will play a significant role in decreasing the amount of animal farmed in the transition to net zero
it’s hard, because i think animal cruelty is awful, however i do not think this is the way forward. i think stricter guidelines on animal safety would be better instead
@9NNC8PJ10mos10MO
Depending on the impact of lab grown - maybe - what are the carbon emissions of a lab that would be capable to produce meat
@9N62FLX10mos10MO
Yes, but it must be heavily regulated to ensure food safety until it is a proven, safe alternative to actual meats or vegan alternatives
Yes, with the correct research into safety and long term impact
@9NB9DV910mos10MO
Yes, provided there is significant research and studies into the long term health impacts of lab-grown meat on humans and the environment.
@9N9YJ7L10mos10MO
I think there are better alternatives to this, but it could be used as a good stop gap until we implement better agricultural procedures that incentivise more farmers on smaller farms.
@9MTWQJ510mos10MO
Yes, If studies show it to be safe, green and viable
@9N234DB10mos10MO
Only with considerable evidence that it is safe and will be measured in place that prevent bacterial resistance
@9NS4Q4G10mos10MO
Yes, provided that the facility in which it was grown was checked thoroughly against health and safety standards and was found without violation.
