If this gets done in really huge dimension, it would change the world. 70% of the planet's agriculture currently is being run to support lifestock and meat-production.

However, nothing comes from nothing. To create these ammounts of needed artificial meat, according ressources must come from somewhere.

We also need to wait and learn about longterm effects of eating such meat frequently, and whether it has a additional unwanted effect on man's organism, or not. We speak about many years, and decades. Which does not mean necessarily that they will wait so long before opening the market for it. whether that will show to be a curse or a blessing, remains to be seen.

I think this is definitely something worth investigating. It might be a while before it goes into production, but well worth looking at.

I have no problem with that. I eat meat for the taste of it, if the taste is the same then who cares. As long as there are no bad side efects like Sky said.

I would say it would need to be carefully and extensively researched if it proves to be safe good idea.

I dont know...eating plankton looks like better option

BossMark · 02-25-12, 02:54 PM

I wouldn't have one given especially from McDonalds

MH · 02-25-12, 03:02 PM

Few times i went to MacDonald's made me feel like food lab anyway.

This scared me so much I immediately ran down to Whataburger and order a couple cheeseburgers.

I'm calmer now. Very calm.

Stealhead · 02-25-12, 03:04 PM

I do not eat most fast food either but alot of people do.Whataburger is not too bad neither is Fiveguys.

McDonalds,Burger King,Wendy's are all slop.

Also too I read somewhere the reason for this synthetic meat wasn't to save the cow or to be kind to the enviroment. But rather it stems from the real necessity of keeping up with the ever increasing demand to feed an ever increasing human population. That ever increasing population will also encroach on the very fields used to raise and support livestock. Less room and space needed to grow tasty synthomeats.
