Environmental meat

[CAG12]

This isnt really a AIBU, im just really interested in getting opinions and different sides of the arguement.

What do people think of the new plant based meats? Im not talking about quorn, more about the 'burgers' that use animal cells (but not the actual animal) to create 'burgers'. So its not a vegetarian alternative, more about the environment. In the UK I dont think they're sold yet, but in the US they have Impossible Burgers.

Would people eat it? What do people think?

To start off, on the face of it id be all for it but I dont think I know enough of either side of the arguement, hence this thread.

Thanks all for reading 🙂

Then why not eat vegetables instead? Why does it have to be processed to look and taste like meat?

Because they might like the taste of meat but want an alternative to animal products, and therefore want to eat a meat alternative as well as or instead of vegetables (I love vegetables but I know not everyone does). It’s not so very difficult to understand, is it?

This is for people who want a meat alternative.
The vegans I've talked to about this wont eat it because the original cells were taken from a live animal.

I wont eat it because high tech is not better for the environment than low tech. A laboratory isn't better for the environment than a mixed farm with live animals. A healthy environment is chock full of live animals.

Modern farms are anything but low-tech and once you take into account the use of machinery, fuel, transport, energy etc that a farm will need to use to produce it's produce, I can guarantee you lab grown meat will have a lower overall impact on the environment, especially as the process is refined and improved.

And a health environment is definitely not chock full of animals raised purely for their meat.

Environmental meat?
Its like saying Mental Health
Everyone has some, but is it good or bad
