OK vegetarians, would you consider eating cultured meats?!
I'm not sure I would!. See the story at http://www!.npr!.org/templates/story/story!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Yes, I would and I think vegetarians should support this exciting development!. Cultured meat has the potential to end the suffering of literally billions of animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
As the article says, the meat is cultured from animal tissue!. That animal tissue has to come from somewhere right!?
To quote the article:
Mellon believes that all our food should be grown lightly on the land, using the riches of the Earth and the power of the sun — not in a factory!.
"Picture it: You've got a big compound of buildings with scientists running around tending big vats of cultured cells, making sure that they're all at a constant temperature, that the cells are being kept sterile," she says!. "I mean, where does that energy come from!? That's a lot of fossil fuel!."
It may be better for the animals, but not better for the environment, and I imagine some animals would still need to die, just not nearly as many!.
I personally would not eat it, and only reluctantly support the idea!.!.!.
I think someone should do a study, demonstrating how much more energy efficient it would be to eat everything we grow instead of feeding so much of it to livestock!. This idea could help push the farming industry in that direction!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would not eat that, its not so much that the animals are suffering that’s the problem for me (However that’s a huge problem that should be fixed), its just the thought of eating something’s flesh is the grossest thing to me, and as if eating something that is living is gross enough now you want me to eat something that grows in a container!? So there is no way I would eat that, however, I assume if it is like “real” meat the other people eat it would be a very nice alterative to killing billions of animals for someone to eat!.
Meat Is Meat, If its born and rised to be eaten, or grow in a lab, its not right in my mind!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not sure what that is, but no!. I don't want to eat any meat at all!. Cloned, cultured, regular, free-range (although I support this-just don't eat it), factory farm (we need to stop this), etc!.
I don't think any vegetarian wants to eat any type of meat at all!. That is why they are vegetarians- sometimes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hmmm!.!.!.I have thought of that, and really!.!.!.it discusts me just the thought of a piece of flesh growing in a container!. I was born to dislike meat, I hate the texure and taste, so I guess I wouldnt, but I am sure many people who eat meat but love animals would try it!. I am sure many peopl ewould spare the lives of animals if the meat was cheap and tasted like what it is supposed to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I would and will try it when it's available!. Half of the ingredients in many foods these days were created in a lab anyways!. If the lab grown meat is a successful venture, the small amount of animal suffering along the way will save the suffering of billions of animals in the future!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Probably not!. But if it means only 100 animals suffer instead of 10 billion every year, it would be a vast improvement over the current system!. Ideally, though, I'd like to see NO animals suffer and die for people's appetites!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No I personally will not!.
I do not eat animal flesh for more than the killing of God's creature!. I do not believe the Human Body was meant eat their flesh!. Yes, we can live on them but we THRIVE of a Plant Based Diet!.
There were no BBQ pits in the Garden of Eden!.
