Lab Grown Meat... would you?

.Wait wait wait wait wait. The poster who said the opinions of posters who don't use their real picture for an avatar are of no value, doesn't use their own picture as an avatar?
And for an appeal to authority on what "efficient for the body" means, they beamed in a former kidney researcher who is now a homeopathic practitioner?
And I guess "not efficient for the body" is supposed to mean that the Creator did not intend for us to eat things that we create in a lab? Is there like a chapter and verse someone can point me to on that? Is it one of the Commandments?
I feel like we might have gone full potato here.
I believe it's a lesser known Subcommandment. Thou shalt not kill (unless it's to avoid plastic meat because it's gross and your body doesn't know what to do with it, and it will KILL you in new and as of yet unknown ways). Biblical subtext is complex.7 -

I don't want "farmed" fish and seafood, lab created anything, I want sustainable natural food that has not been modified. Your body was not designed to use that stuff and that is why we have diseases now that are new creations and why we are not able to fight off diseases like we used to, etc. But hey, that's your choice, just do your own research and think about it before you make up your mind.
If someone wants scientific reinforcements, calling in a homeopathic "physician" is ridiculous.
What do you eat that hasn't been modified? Are you saying you avoid things like broccoli and apples? They didn't just spring up from the earth, you know. They're the product of generations of human decisions and manipulation.
Have you ever seen a wild artichoke? Yikes

Makes you wonder about the first person to think "I'm hungry and I'm going to put that in my mouth."4 -
I wonder the same whenever I prep Gundelia and live to tell the tale. Who in their right mind thought a thistle looked appetizing?0

Everything about that is screaming, "Don't eat me!!!"

Here is another. I see these, too, in early spring on my hikes.

Fun fact, corn has been modified so much (via normal cultivation practices, not in a lab) that it is virtually incapable of surviving on its own, because it can't disperse its seeds. It is the ultimate example of indehiscence. So if you want corn after the zombie apocalypse, be sure to grab some seeds on one of your foraging runs and guard them with your life, otherwise you're *kitten* out of luck.4

I don’t eat meat because of the incredible cruelty of factory farming and the huge amount of resources it uses and pollution it creates. If lab grown meat was not super resource intensive, sure I’d eat it, even though I haven’t eaten meat in 30 years.0

They're now thinking about texture, so that's one step forward

Well.
Considering that the US does not require labeling of transgenic food it is not crazy to believe that it won't require labeling for this either.
At some point, you may be eating it without even realizing you're doing so.
If the meat is the same in taste, texture and fragrance, and it should be since it has the same molecular structure, you won't notice it either.
It may even save the environment, as there will be no need for the industrial/factory farms, no more greenhouse gasses, no more food borne viral and bacterial infections, no more slaughter and suffering.
Or, you could just go vegan.

Depending on the conditions in which the lab grown meat is produced, going vegan and eating the lab grown meat wouldn't be mutually exclusive.1
