For the kosher rules, there’s also a question of whether eating vat-grown meat would be considered eating a limb cut off from a living animal. That’s forbidden, even if the animal in question is a kosher animal.
“Mmmm, this Carrier Pigeon is divine - have you tried the Pterodactyl?”
I would, assuming that it tastes good and has an advantage over regular meat in terms of price and/or environmental impact. If it meets all three of those criteria, I would prefer it over regular meat. I have no qualms about killing animals for food, so environmental impact is the most important factor to me.
Wow … the vote so far is 139 yes, 12 no. I think it’s surprising, considering the numbers would be reversed if the question was “Would you ever eat at Applebee’s?”
Well, it could be served by vat-grown waiters.
This. Vat-grown meat wouldn’t require roughage, among other things. That would reduce the volume, weight and cost of food sources by as much as 90%.
No kidding! Most overrated chain restaurant ever and my family constantly wants to go there.
As for meat grown in a vat, hell yes. I know how hot dogs are made and I don’t care, they taste good. Take a look at the ingredients in “potted meat product” sometime. :eek: I still like it on a sandwich though.
Well, then I’ve got good news for you …
Funnily enough, the “steak” at Applebees does seem like vat-grown meat to me.
Insect burgers? Repulsive…at least settle for a nice little drumstick if you have any respect for cuisine!
I assume that line starts at Peter Lugers?
The GF and I rented Food, Inc. the other day.
Actually, for all intents and purposes, McDonald’s hamburgers are practically vat-grown meat.
Ha! You’ve never tasted my mom’s vat-loaf!
BACON! BACON! By the kiloton, on an assembly line basis!
