Should the government allow the commercialization of lab-grown meat?

I do not personally eat meat, though it's a good cause because the cow population will not be largely affected.

No, we should only use natural means of obtaining food. Also, eliminate grocery chains and make them decentralized.

I think there will come a time where its necessary to start using lab made meats, but until then id rather eat real meat.

Yes, as long as there is both wide agreement amongst independent research and health bodies that lab-grown meat is safe long-term for consumption and will reduce carbon emissions in total

I believe that until the health risks and effects have been studied and are well known that the government should not allow the commercialization of lab-grown meat

Yes, to ensure proper tests and ethical procedures are done to ensure the safety of consumers.

Allow commercialization while ensuring enough safety checks have been done through CFIA. Any potential health risks must be made publicly available and the manufacturer's must display such risks on their labels.

No, i do not trust it, the artificial growth of cells like that sounds like cancer cells and that can potentially cause a public health disaster. until there is more research into it with longterm studies on human health we should not allow it. but i do see how that can help lower costs of meat by increasing the supply of meat in our national food supply. could be a real way to achieve post scarcity which would be a net benefit to society.

Yes, but as studies are done to determine it's safety, and it is properly displaced on packaging and restaurant menus

needs more research but should be supported as long as packaging is clear about what the product contains

yes as long as the lab-grown meat follows the same safety qualification tests as traditional livestock farming, there shouldn't be issue with doing so.

Yes and no, only ensured safe lab grown meat should be commercialized and other lab grown meat should be studied more to ensure safety of it

Only if it will be more affordable and provide all the nutrients found in organic grass fed and have no toxic contents ,processes or byproducts.

Yes, assuming that the products are clearly labelled as such and undergo the same restrictions needing to be met as the standard supply.

Yes, but it should be regulated to maintain a standard quality and prevent a monopoly on the industry.

It has been scientifically proven that there are cons to lab-grown meat compared to naturally farmed. I greatly disagree with this.

The government should stop subsidizing meat and help fund other protein source production like redirecting soy feed from livestock to human food

it depends, I would not eat it but some people might so as long as it is safe I would say within moderation.

Yes, but with proper regulation to ensure quality of nutrition is equivalent to naturally harvested meat.

Doesn't really matter, as this is a free country. If you want to commercialize something, you should. The fact that you even have to ask this question is ridiculous.

As long as lab-grown meat follows the same safety qualification tests as traditional livestock farming, there shouldn't be issue with doing so.

Yes, provided that there is transparency about the nutrition/health effects

yes, as long as it is a safe, healthy and affordable alternative to real meat

They research it more and test it on people willing to eat it and see if their is any issues.

No, let it be tested on further until it has been documented lab-grown meat will not affect the human body

I guess?? If not in excess it wouldn't take away from farmer jobs too much.

Yes, but it must be stated clearly on the packaged with full transparency

Yes, and the government should fund research into the long term effects

Yes, but it should be regulated to ensure proper studies and tests are done down to ensure ethical practice to ensure consumer saftey

Why would you eat something that is lab-grown? It just feels depressing when you don't eat actual meat... We should increase the amount of meat people eat, because some people lack the essential nutrients they need. The meat you get from the animal has more nutrients than lab-grown ones because the companies that make them don't tell you what is inside the lab-grown ones.

The meat should be aprroved to be safe to eat, people must have a choice of wether or not, and further testing should be conducted even if sold to the public.

Yes, only if it body stated wether it is real or lab grown.

Yes, provided there is conclusive, independent research on the long-term health effects of consuming lab-grown meat.

Can you imagine a future where farming animals for food is considered unethical due to the availability of lab-grown meat?

If lab-grown meat becomes cheaper than conventional meat, do you think people should be encouraged or even required to switch? Why or why not?

Do you think the switch to lab-grown meat could alter traditions and cultures centered around food? How?

How would you feel about replacing traditional meat with lab-grown versions in your daily meals?

Considering potential health implications, would you prefer lab-grown meat over traditional if it was proven to be healthier? Why?

How do you think the introduction of lab-grown meat will affect rural communities whose economies are based on traditional livestock farming?

How important is it for lab-grown meat to taste and look exactly like traditional meat for it to be widely accepted?

In terms of environmental impact, how significant do you believe switching to lab-grown meat could be for our planet?

What do you think are the biggest challenges in getting people to accept and consume lab-grown meat regularly?

What concerns might you have about the long-term impact of consuming lab-grown meat compared to traditional meat?
