Vegetarians (and those wanting to be) , would you....?

Question

would you eat test-tube meat? Someday soon, we may be able to get meat cloned in a lab. So you could have bacon strips in the shape of porky pig that didn't actually come from the slaugtherhouse. Would you go for something like this?

Answer 1

Really? I am surprised that no one has said that they would be willing to try it. I have been a vegetarian for almost 14 years because I cannot stomach killing an animal for food. But this sounds like a great compromise for vegetarians like me--who aren't opposed to meat, if it comes from a humane source. I think it sounds great!

Answer 2

I think it is done already no ?
Burgers made out of some kind of mushrooms; I don't understand the point myself. If you want to eat a burger why not go for the real one and if you want to eat some mushrooms well..eat them as they are.
Everything more or less come from the lab anyway. Everything is cloned, bits added....
When you see 2% protein on meat and the rest is written in latin or greek..

(I am not a vegetarian )

Answer 3

If i really want to be a vegetarian, I won't eat test tube meat; Although people don't kill to get them, but they are still meat.
Since I am not a vegetarian, If the price of test tube meat is around the same as the normal one, I will eat them because it is nice to know animals do not get killed because of my hunger.

Yikes! I misread Allison's response and thought she wanted her food from a HUMAN source (that silent e gets me every time). Bacon tastes gooood, I don't care who you are. What would be the big deal if a porker didn't die from it?


PS- Do vegetarians make sure their plants die of natural causes?
