Would you eat ethical meat?!
Would you eat ethical meat?
Science has successfully grown cultures of animal tissues in petri dishes to test vaccines and medicines. One enterprising person came up with the idea of making laboratory grown meat as an ethical alternative to slaughtering animals.
Would you eat meat if it slightly annoyed the cow rather than kill it? What if the animal never knew it had been sampled?
Answers:
heheh, ethical meat. cute.
meat really isnt that great for you, and isn't neccesary for consumption.
im over the whole idea of eating it, period.
that would be tender meat........ never reallly exercised enough to get tough.
oooh grill it up with a pad of butter.
who is this enterprising person........and do they sell stock?
When I buy it, would it be dead or alive? If it's just tissue, which is it? Can it think? Mutate? Grow if I leave it in the back of a fridge, so I can feed more people?
I thikn I'll stick w/ good ol' slaughterhouse meat.
yum, of course I would.
Never. Vegans do not eat meat for a variety of reasons.
a big NO THANK YOU to ethical meat. we've seen just what happens when man starts messing with stuff. do i really want to eat meat that grew from animal tissue in some laboratory's petri dish? seems like another oh-so-great plan to make the big guys some big money.
sounds like FrankenFood to me...
I avoid meat because the overwhelming amount of information that says its better and healthier to live without.
I currently don't trust anything that comes from a laboratory either that is marked as a 'food'. "Foods" do not come from laboratories, they are grown from seeds.
I also avoid overly processed foods, like refined oils, white sugar, and other nasty chemicals. Science keeps showing how bad they are for you, at the same times it keeps coming out with new ones.
How would 'ethical' meat be any better for me?
Would it be lower in fat and saturated fat?
Higher in fiber, vitamins and phytochemicals?
Higher in antioxidants?
Lower in sulfur containing amino acids and homocysteine?
Higher in the raw unprocessed complex carbohydrates that are good for me?
NO. Meat is terrible for you and has no redeeming value. I like not having high cholesterol and heart disease, thanks. Man was not meant to eat meat.
It actually requires a donor tissue still,so an animal still dies for it.It would be gross still,the smell of red meat makes me gag,bacon is the worst without a doubt.
I asked this question some months ago because I'd read an article about the process (yes, it requires donor tissue, but no, the animal doesn't have to die for it... they donate just a few muscle cells.) I can see it as a potential solution for people who are interested in vegetarianism for ethical reasons but are having a hard time giving up meat. For me, though, it would be a big NO. I became a vegetarian for a wide variety of reasons and the ethical concerns are just a part of the bigger picture. Besides, it's been over 20 years and I don't miss it a bit.
That's just bizarre in general. I don't care for the idea of someone playing god like like that. Most people I know that eat meat are against it also.
Hmm... I don't think so. I've been a vegetarian for quite a while, and I don't ever really miss meat. Thinking about it, I think it would gross me out, eating what was living tissue... So, no, I would not.
Yes,I think it would be a good alternative to slaughtering animals.Just for people who have to eat meat.How good for you is it,probably bad!No,I would not even try it.I think there are great meat alternatives out there people just haven't tried.Meat just isn't that good to even annoy a cow.
no that just sounds disgusting. i'll stick as close to nature as possible, thank you.
i wouldn't want someone taking a piece out of me and growing it into a meal for some one. i'll let the cow live as it was meant to. with out my interference.
