The New Moral Dilemma for Vegans?!
Alright, fellow vegans, let's all read this article, or at least enough of it to grasp the concept (basically the first paragraph) and share our thoughts!.

Would we be content to re-allow meat produced in such a fashion!? Personally, provided it could be proven to be absolutely safe, there is little difference between meat like this and a plant grown in a field!.
It's a tough question, it really is!. I'd like to hear some more thoughts before making any more commentary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
For me, there's no moral dilemma!. Flesh is not food and I have no desire whatsoever to eat it regardless of where it comes from!.
I do think it has the potential, if it's embraced by meat eaters who are concerned about animal cruelty but not prepared to commit to vegetarianism, to be of great benefit!. But that's the million dollar question: will people eat it or will the "frankenfood" aspect make it unmarketable!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think I could do it!.
It is a great idea though, to save so many lives of animals lost for food production!. People are not ever going to all be vegetarian, so at least it's a step in the right direction for meat-eaters (if they take to it)!.
I'm perfectly happy with my veggie diet and even if the meat was lab-produced, it would still have the negative health-effects of meat!. So why would I do it!?
Actually, thinking about it, it's probably more a dilemma for meat eaters than health-conscious vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Can veggies answer !?
I don't see how its any sort of moral dilemma!. As a veggie for a long time now i just don't see meat as food, why would i want to eat the stuff if its grown in a lab !?
My veggie diet has proved more than adequately that i don't need meat in my diet, why would i think about re-introducing it just because its grown in a lab!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Of course that would be wonderful and save the lives of countless animals, while preserving tons of grain!.
PeTA is offering a million dollars to whomever can make the first chicken breast from stem cells!.
I'm sure a lot of meat-eaters wouldn't take to the idea though!. I feel like since they're already not willing to think outside the box of meat-eating, they wouldn't try something new like that!.
Personally, I still wouldn't eat it!. I just don't like the idea of eating animal flesh!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i still wouldnt eat it!. it doesnt matter to me!. animals are not ours to eat in any fashion, whether its just theyre cells or theyre actual flesh!. just think of it this way: would you eat HUMAN meat produced this way!? i wouldnt, and i certainly dont think theres a difference in eating animals or people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Interesting question!.!.!. I wouldn't eat it!. If those who eat meat and would never think of not eating meat would eat it, it seems as though it would save a lot of suffering and help with a lot of environmental issues!. It's very unappealing to me though!.!.!. I shudder and say yuck!. LOLWww@FoodAQ@Com
There is no moral dilemma!. Animals are exploited for their embryos/stem cells in order to develop test-tube meat, and therefor it's not cruelty-free = not vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Never fool with Mother Nature!.
I don't like anything thats a product of a lab!.
Cloning scares the heck out of me as does
genetically produced produce!.
It's not natural!.
No way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

All I had to read was the first paragraph!.!.!.well not even that far!. No thank you!. I don't want any!. I will stick with my smart dogs and gimme lean!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, I am also a vegan for health reasons!. Flesh is just gross to me now,Www@FoodAQ@Com
That food is not natural, that is the reason I wouldn't eat it!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i wouldnt eat it i've completely lost my taste for meat & it is creepy 2 do thatWww@FoodAQ@Com
I quite frankly think it's quite creepy, but if it means only 100 animals suffer instead of 10 billion, that will be a step in the right direction!. It will also mean less land used for grazing animals and less water used to raise the animals, and less pollution!. Of course, it may take land for the buildings in which to culture the "meat," but probably far less space!.
I'd rather more people go vegan, but if that isn't going to happen, giving the die-hard omnis the stuff just might be a solution!. Question is--will THEY eat it!?
I personally wouldn't touch it, thank you very much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
