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.

Yes, so long as all relevant and thorough regulatory frameworks are put in place, and it has been scientifically proven to be non-harmful to consumer and planet
@9NWK83V5mos5MO
Yes, but I think there needs to be more evidence on the long-term effects on consuming lab-grown meat
@9PCVFHN4mos4MO
Yes - only if proven to have same nutritional value as real meat and is not harmful to humans. I back the need to stop animal cruelty and excessive factory farming.
@9PK7NZK4mos4MO
yes in more less well off countries that need the food support, after rigirus trails and a proonged testing experience to see if the lab grown meat has any side effects or long term effects and a smaller carbon foot print then regular farming. they should also give farmers jobs and roles because they will be taking away lifestyles and money from the agriculture indestrys.
@9NX22WK5mos5MO
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.
@9N7FH7H5mos5MO
Make people eat reasonably instead. One doesn’t need need every day, once a week. Go vegs, learn to cook vegs
@9NT8NM85mos5MO
I think further study is required, but I think that there should be a shift towards plant-based alternatives instead.
@9P9ZHFD4mos4MO
Yes, but only after suitable research and evaluation that it is fit and safe for public consumption)
