If meat could be manufactured in a lab would the veggies who don't like to harm animals eat it?

Question

It hasn't come from an animal so nothing has been harmed.
.
This is a hypothetical question.
.

.
Jon, Quorn and soya IS NOT MEAT.
I'm talking about meat grown from stem cells or something.
.

Answer 1

It's called Quorn and soya and it exists so there's nothing hypothetical.
As to the real question, some would and some wouldn't. There are some who find the taste of meat and substitutes revolting, others like me will eat it.

Edit. if it comes from stem cells then it's come from an animal.

Answer 2

Well, it wouldn't be meat then.

The general veggie objection is that meat is a dead animal.

If you are saying something like a cell structure with no nervous system, no central brain processing etc then yes, soem wold probably eat it.

because it could not be an animal , alive, feel pain etc.

Personally, the idea of eating any meat repulses me so i would stay away.

Buy why bother to develop it ?

We can get all we need from the existing foods we eat so why look for something else like lab-grown muscle.

Answer 3

I posted a question similiar to this a few months ago.
No. I would not eat the stuff but I would I feel much better
if the general public switched to eating lab grown meat.
It would mean a huge reduction or possibly the end of
factory farming.

Answer 4

I don't know, I don't think I could anymore. I eat quorn and that, but the thought of eating meat (whether manufactured or not) just well I don't like it.

Answer 5

No - the smell of meat makes me want to be sick. I find quorn and similar products revolting.

I've essentially become allergic to meat - i was forcefed a sausage roll when i was 10 and spent the next 3 days being sick. I don't care how it's ended up on my dinnerplate - it's just rank!

Same goes for fish.

Answer 6

it trully depends to the veggies itself, well some veggies, like my girlfried doesn't want to eat meat because she believes she cant eat anything that has face and the fact that the vegetable itself is good for her health, obviously....
and even though if she does know this alternative, she would stick to her diet since she used to her eating habit anyway....

Answer 7

Stem cells is not what you are implying as this is still meat.

What you are implying is a recent and very early technology call nano technology

See this link as it is basically about constructing stuff from reprogrammed atoms. like building a house with the basic/raw materials so it creates and builds itself.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano_technology

with this technology anything is possible

Answer 8

Absolutely NOT! I don't eat genetically modified food...you "hypothetically" mentioned that it would be derived from living cells. That's the grossest and most absurd thing I've ever heard.
(...meat eaters really amuse me sometimes.)

Answer 9

Meat, no matter how we may obtain it, is rightfully not suitable for human consumption. Our anatomy is made such that we just can't have meat and that it's not suitable for us. If we take meat, we would be consuming something that was never intended for human beings and this would cause all sorts of health problems.

Answer 10

I can't stand the smell of meat,so no I wouldn't eat it.
