If you eat quorn you are already eating lab grown meat substitute, so what would be the difference?

I would continue to hunt and consume on my own before I ate this Lab Smeat.
Of course if it was live or die...I would eat it before I died from starvation, but I would have to be pretty far gone to even consider it to be honest.

Until there's two reproductive generations of testing, I maintain that it's premature to say definitively, that the side affects are the same as cow. They just can't know yet.
Statements like this one from one of the scientists, are what unnerve me; "Genetically modified food is already normal practice and nobody dies."
Nobody dies? Nobody dies?? That's not the same as "safe", & certainly not a good enough reason to launch it onto the public, says I.
Maybe it is safe, maybe lab grown meat will be the best thing since sliced GMO bread ;-) but my family will wait till we know.
Cheers!

(Reuters) - In a small laboratory on an upper floor of the basic science building at the Medical University of South Carolina, Vladimir Mironov, M.D., Ph.D., has been working for a decade to grow meat.

I think its what the animals/plants need as meat production/feed uses huge tracts of land
any thoughts?
Also would like to know what vegetarians think
they will be able to grow any meat from a small sample of other lab grown meat

No. Not knowingly. We don't even eat "chunked & formed", or "processed" meat (hot dogs, lunch meat etc) now.
I firmly believe that the further you get from natural foods, the more health problems. Until I read a generation or two of testing refuting this, I won't be convinced that there's no connection.
So as long as "real meat" is available, & there's not a load of science disproving side affects, we're not going there.edit on 7-7-2012 by AtlasShrugging because: danged keyboard can't spell

If it tastes good I might go for it.
