Lab-grown meat is produced by culturing animal cells and could serve as an alternative to traditional livestock farming. Proponents argue that it can reduce environmental impact and animal suffering, and improve food security. Opponents argue that it may face public resistance and unknown long-term health effects.

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.
@9MRWVG711mos11MO
Yes, to ensure proper tests and ethical procedures are done to ensure the safety of consumers.
No and yes if people feel more comfortable with lab grown then make it but I believe real meet will be better
@B2BMK7B3mos3MO
Yes, but perform more studies first, & allow it as long as a disclosure is prominently displayed on packaging and restaurant menus
@B49LKNY3wks3W
i dont think so, because it is unnatural and pumping our bodies full of lab food, instead of what we have been eating for 3000 plus years. it also puts our farmers at risk, and as a farmer we depend on the consumer to make money.
There should be more research in sustainable ways to lower environmental harm, as a concept this harms the farmers which is a large part of our economics.
@B3PTXTY1mo1MO
Don’t get me wrong it’s probably safe, and most likely tastes the same, however I’d still like to see a long term effects study done if possible. While I trust science, they make mistakes too
@B286ZK4New Democratic4mos4MO
No. But we should focus more on local farmers instead of commercial farming, as generally it's the commercial farms that have animal suffering issues. More research is also needed to ensure safety
@9TP4MHS7mos7MO
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.

@9NKWLDM11mos11MO
No, let it be tested on further until it has been documented lab-grown meat will not affect the human body
@9MVG8TW11mos11MO
Yes, and the government should fund research into the long term effects
@9MRY4V311mos11MO
Yes, but it should be regulated to ensure proper studies and tests are done down to ensure ethical practice to ensure consumer saftey
@B4RSSZ53hrs3H
If the government gets involved they need to make it cost effective compared to meat, and it needs to be disclosed
