I can see it's use regarding feeding a growing population and saving land space...

But... I think it's a capitalist solution. What I mean by that is I find the best possible solution (for practically everything in this world) is education.

People should have 1-3 children (depending on location) and everyone should have a balanced diet of salad and meat.

Humans are omnivores, not carnivores. (As much as I love ribs and a fat jucy bloody steak)

Hell no.

Why would anyone be against this?

 

[C_Gibby]

Can't be bad for you, but I'm betting that it's gonna be tasting a little... off, somehow.

assuming its actual proper meat i dont see why not but in the end it better have some advantages over normal to make me buy it on a regular basis.

The advantage is that it's more environmentally friendly than meat farms.

What about jobs?

There'd be more jobs, when you think about it.

I'm against it, where is the fun in eating something if you have not murdered it first?

 

[Shadrach]

First I was like "Labrador meat??!"

But then...

 

[NoxNoctum]

I def won't ever eat it, but I'm not "against it" as in banning it or anything.

Never say never. You may 'have' to before you think...

Here is some "food" for thought:

Why not? The way food is manipulated and handled in America is already quite disgusting, unless you've got enough money to buy the actual food.

Didn't they say the same exact thing about the present in the '70s?

 

[dogbadger]

it's gotta be better for the enviroment thou - all those 'greenhouse' gasses from livestock
wonder what veggies think of it, considering it was never alive and that.
mind you many veggies seem to hate labs so it will probably be a no.

 

[DraKon2k]

To be honest I don't really care so much how it's handled on other continents. If it really helped against food crisis in Africa then I'd say go ahead, but I highly doubt it since they're not just gonna be "Oh here, take all this for free". And I certainly don't want to see this **** in my county/europe because frankly it just seems against nature to me. If we're starting with this then where will it end?

A couple of things to consider...

• That was from a bunch of hippies....oh, wait...that was me...
• Farm yields (over even just the past decade) have increased dramatically from what they were in the '70's. I don't think that same level of expansion can be maintained. (It may, though. Science is amazing).
• The increase in yield requires substantially more and more input back to the soil to keep that same acre sustainable.

I can tell you that my fertilzer prices increased from $70/ton in 2008 to over $350/ton in 2011. Commodity prices rose as well. Soybeans in 2007 were about $8/bu in 2011 they were $14/bu. Corn in 2007 ~$3.50/bu in 2011 ~ $6.50/bu . And in some many words, isn't that what the article I posted saying? Its fixing to get really, really expensive to eat.

 

[Alexander Ostmann]

I'm all for it. I'd eat it for sure.

 

[Xendance]

I don't see why I wouldn't eat it, it just has to taste good and have good texture.
