Will I be able to eat lab grown human meat?
Lab grown meat can't come soon enough.
Maybe if it's lab meat. Otherwise it seems inefficient to grow food for animals instead of just growing food for humans
If there was a lab grown meat that tasted like human, would it perpetuate an unhealthy obsession with cannibalism?
why should we wait for lab grown meat if we can go vegan right now?
Sounds like a perfect application for lab grown meat.
If it is tasty and affordable, why not? Almost everything we eat nowadays is already highly optimized through selective breeding over thousands of years, so adding lab-grown meat does not make our food less "natural" than it is already. On the other hand, lab-grown meat will probably use much less resources compared to traditionally produced meat, while not causing any issues with regard to (bad) treatment / killing of actual animals.
Why not directly go to vat grown or 3d printed meat?
My bet is on lab produced meat.
In what world is lab-grown meat production more efficient than cattle farming?
