For vegetarians! Would you consider eating this synthetic meat?!


Question: For vegetarians! Would you consider eating this synthetic meat!?
A friend just sent me this link, I've only been veggie for about 4 years!.!.!.but I'm not sure I could eat synthetic meat, my first thought was, ewww!
I mean not killing animals wasn't my only reason for stopping eating meat!.!.!.
I just thought I see what some other vegetarians thought about this :D

Answers:
Maybe as a matter of necessity I would or in a pinch for convenient sake, but overall I would have to say I would do my best to seriously avoid it!.

Aside from any ethical concerns I believe our bodies are meant to eat natural foods and once science starts altering this equation is when things often get out of balance (and that's putting it politely)!. I'd trust meat from a natural source more than from a lab any day of the week!.

However neither is necessary!. Our bodies can eat vegan and be more healthy than if we assimilated animal products!. So if it ain't broke so to speak why fix it!?

Besides what are the environmental costs!. What kind of energy, land, water, chemical, waste usages would be associated with this practice!.

My whole intuition is SCREAMING, 'RUN AWAY!!! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!.' But hey that's just me!. The real question is, what does your inner voice tell you!. I believe if we listen close the answer to most of our questions will be answered!. In other words, "Still thy mind and know me!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

Personally I believe that we already have enough 'Plastic Food' out there whether it is meat, vegetarian or dairy based!.
It may look good, taste good but is it good!? Much of it is shoved into our faces on the pretext that it is OK, however there health issues to consider, And when you think of all illnesses and diseases that are linked back to such foods, it is a worrying thought!. But then to "Each his Own" as they say!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Someone else posted a similar story a few days ago!.
