No, I think I still want to eat real meat. Sorry, the same reason I try not to buy GMO carrots and corn is the same reason I don't want to eat GMO Beef, let alone fake-clone-??? meat.

As such, I will continue to try to find organic fruits, vegetables, and meat for my diet. Yes, I will continue to eat meat, real meat, good delicious meat.

oh PETA, why you gotta be so silly?

the real solution is to eat within sustainable means. if we can find a way to produce meat in such a manner (likesay, small farms selling smaller quantities for higher prices) then great.

personally, i think lab-grown meat has a huge market: replace factory farmed meat with it entirely. will the dumb motherfuckers who eat at mcdonalds care that their hideous, shitty burger was grown in a lab instead of a cow factory? likely not.

in the future, there will be Long Pig Fast Food joints, Spider Jerusalem approved.

dogs and cats, living together! total anarchy!

what's the point of the million dollar prize? anyone crazy enough to try to make this fake meat is probably going to spend a lot more than that on their research, labs, etc. the money they could possibly win would just be used to cover their debts. totally pointless. i can't imagine any meat eaters willing to eat that crap on a daily basis. money well wasted.

here;s an idea: use that money to medicate the individuals responsible for this idea. they really don't understand how absurd it is.

i am not a meat eater. i would never eat some factory made crap just because no animals were harmed.

I'm for it as long as they put in loads of growth hormones, antibiotics, and MSG's.

Most people will eat anything as long as it's cheap and tasty.

twinkies.

Am I the only one here that would feel just fine eating meat grown in a lab? It would probably be more sustainable than a lot of current farming practices. And just to be clear, this isn't "fake" meat. It's actual muscle tissue grown in a lab the same way they grow skin grafts for burn victims. It would taste exactly like meat because it is meat, except without the blood vessels. It wouldn't necessarily make a good steak, but if we used it in our burgers, hot dogs, and several other types of ground meat, it would be a huge help for the environment, and your taste buds wouldn't know the difference.

Spam's not meat.

You're no fun.

i think the fact that it will be made in a lab is what is unappealing. organic food is a huge trend right now, and this seems to be a step back from that.

Organic food is nice, but we're not talking about replacing organic food. I'd like to see this replace our current factory farming processes. I don't think it could or should replace meat altogether, but I'd rather eat this stuff than the factory farmed, hormone and drug-injected hamburgers that fast food establishments currently serve. If McDonald's used this for its hamburgers, it would be a huge step forward. Demand for cattle and other livestock would go down, causing free range, organic meat to become more affordable, so those wishing to serve higher quality meat could turn to local organic farms.

i agree that the factory farmed stuff is sick. but there are better alternatives. i think it'd be better for people to rely on local farmers for their meat instead of something grown in a lab. but of course not everyone has access to the small town butcher shops with the friendly guy behind the counter offering a hearty greeting. and of course i'm not very educated on the subject so three's a good chance i'm talking out of my ass.
