Why are so many people against lab-grown meat?

I've never understood the problem people have with lab-grown meat (apart from those selling the traditional type).

I like meat, but I don't like killing animals and I find factory farming horrific. So it's a win-win. It's a lot less "icky" than thinking about what factory farm animals suffer.

I know it's expensive at the moment, but once it's on a par with "traditional" meat, what's the problem?

The animal fat and protein used to make the "meat," is cultivated in a lab, hence the name "lab grown meat."

Via Google AI:

Growth medium:

These cells are placed in a bioreactor with a specially designed nutrient-rich solution that encourages cell growth and differentiation into muscle and fat cells.

Yes, there is an Amish farm a couple of hours from us. A couple times a summer we like to drive up there and have a lamb slaughtered. I'm not religious, but that is the correct biblical way to slaughter an animal. Less stess during the slaughter makes the meat healthier for human consumption. 😇

Me too, they're nice people. I jokingly say, if I return to Christianity, I'd choose to become Amish, and I wondered if they allow interracial marriage. 😅

@calicuz what are you then now?

No religion, I simply believe in the Abrahamic God, before any of the "man made" religions started around that God. I believe in the teachings of Christ, and apply them, I just no longer believe he was God, but that he was a great prophet who's words are wise.
