no, because i don't eat meat. the only animals i eat are animal crackers. they give you the satisfaction of eating animal creatures without actually eating animal creatures.

Is it for health reasons blue? Or you just don't want to eat animals?

Yes I would eat it because it is cheaper and supposedly there really isn't any difference in it between it and "real" meat.

Although, I do not like the social changes it could bring.

I'd definitely eat it if it were cheaper and tasted alright. However, most of the bullet points in that article are so disconnected from reality that it's hard for me to tell if they're being serious or if they're really so naive.

yes but not in preference. i'd take it second to real meat based on the principle of "if you want meat, you gotta kill it" (or have someone kill it for you you lazy city folk :roll ) but still eat it when offered based on the principle of "don't ever deny an opportunity to stuff your face"
tis the natural way of things. :james

is it just me or is that article giving off a strong Peta vibe

hey and correct me if i'm wrong but did that article say the in vitro meat will contain no fat? the fat is where the flavor is, so no fat = tastes like crap

i do think its kind of weird eating animal, but i'm not a hardcore hippie tree hugger PETA pal. i just never really cared for eating meat. even when i was a kid i didn't eat much meat. i just don't like it- the texture, the taste, the idea of it. plus eating that stuff made me feel sick-ish when i was a kid. i mostly just prefer to eat a cleaner (less greasy, fatty junk) vegetarian diet. i do eat dairy and sometimes a little egg and some junk food, but mostly i try to eat healthy. so i guess a combo of health and just plain never caring for it or eating much of it. i've actually been vegetarian since i was 10.

I would probably read more about it when the time came, but in theory I would be in favour of this kind of meat.

I love animals and don't like eating them. But meat is too tasty, so I do anyway.

I'm with you Blue. I don't eat meat with the exception of chicken on occasion, but that is not very often. I do eat healthy most of the time. I do have a super bad sweet tooth though, I love sweet stuff. :)

I like to eat my vegetables in my nightgown on my bed..:billy

right you are, gimme some fat!

Okey dokes, thank you all for your responses! This is actually related to my research and it's good to get some outside impressions.



Now for an important one: Who do you prefer, Jessica Alba or Natalie Portman?

(and feel free to hijack the thread for any other burning questions ;) )

JESSICA ALBA!


And I'd eat the fake meat. They make a lot of great points.

Well, I'd prefer Natalie as someone to talk to or a friend; and she is a much better actress...
But that's not what you're asking is it? ;)

JESSICA ALBA!!!!!!!

No! Yet another thing we (Humans) are messing with and don't fully understand the consequences.

I eat meat ..... but I eat it sparingly and respect how and where it came from.
I don't waste any and also look out for Meat items that are less popular (I love Liver and Onions :) )
I always buy free range chicken and eggs, and other RSPCA [Royal Society for protection against cruelty to animals] monitored farm produce.
Where possible I use a local butcher who can tell me which farm the Lamb, Beef, Pork ... whatever came from.

I have now started to reduce my endangered fish intake (Tuna and Cod etc) and am very shocked about how endangered these species actually are!
Fish is an important part of a healthy diet, but nobody's going to be healthy if the fish stocks die out.

Yeah, the fish problem is pretty bad. But then this could be a good way to tackle exactly that problem. Of course, it might be dangerous, it might cause other problems... but it might not. How would we know? Unless you want to thoroughly research things like this yourself - which isn't a bad idea, but who has the time? - really, you have to go off what the scientists say and trust them - as scary as that is.

man, hearing all these horror stories about how the world ecosystem is going down the tube sucks. I took a conservation biology class last year and the professor was such a huge debbie downer that one student just asked her point blank "how do you get up in the morning?" :roll
I just figure the earth will be swallowed up by the sun in a few billion years anyway so enjoy while you can folks!

Anyway, I've thought long and hard about it, and I cast my vote for Natalie Portman
