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.

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
@9MRWVG76mos6MO
Yes, to ensure proper tests and ethical procedures are done to ensure the safety of consumers.
@9MLXWMN6mos6MO
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.
@9WYDMSD3wks3W
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.
@9WNCQDS4wks4W
Yes, but as studies are done to determine it's safety, and it is properly displaced on packaging and restaurant menus
@9VRLFFN1mo1MO
needs more research but should be supported as long as packaging is clear about what the product contains
@9TMMVLN2mos2MO
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.
@9T42CXP3mos3MO
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
