    How healthy would it be? If it's as healthy as regular meat then no. If you could replicate anything (like ice cream or donuts) and still make it super healthy, have less calories, and taste like it should, then yes.

    But people don't need meat so it doesn't matter. Theres already plenty of meat-like substitutes out there. Your question is irrelevant.

    That's not the question - those are made from plants and eggs and other grown foods - he's asking if there was a way to create food from waste, create food from the constituent atoms without growing it in or on the earth, would you eat this?

    Even plant foods are harming the environment, at least where I live. Fertilizer runoff is killing the rivers, lakes, and to some extent the oceans. Pesticides are killing the bees, and using so much land for cultivation reduces the wilderness available to animals and other plants.

    I don't ever want a future with NO natural foods, but if we could scale it back to a sustainable level that would be fantastic.

    The easiest way to scale it back would be less people = less people having kids. Which totally isn't happening because people think they need to make 5 more of themselves.
    Heck even better would be just to clone ourselves and let the other entity die off from age.
    But no I wouldn't eat the lab grown meat, meat isn't even healthy for you in the amounts people eat and I assume animals would still be used in the process.
    Link to your opinion? How is the health measured? It's mentioned that BIOPSIES from animals are used. Hardly hurting them.

    How do you deem something healthy? Based on it's micronutrient values or how the body utilizes the calories consumed?

    I could be wrong but I think they were pointing out how hard it would be to link an opinion.
