Scientists grow meat in a laboratory

I am vegetarian, one of the reasons I became one, is when I learn how some of the meat is processed or prepared. Like those chicken nuggets from McDonald's who really knows what is in them?? sausages? Have you ever seen those pieces of Jamon Serrano (some type of pork) from Spain? they look like momified pieces of meat. What's in the Spam cans? I don't see much difference between meat from lab and all these type of meats. Just my two cents

suppose you have to have a love of dogs and/or livestock breeding of any kind to appreciate that. It takes time and effort to create the perfect breed with the desirable traits and so considerable time and effort needs to go in to preserving those traits. I LOVE dogs. I don't love breeding though, I suppose. Seems like human folly to continue to breed a dog that isn't needed anymore. I just think that when a breed's use goes away, if that breed doesn't transition into another modern use, it should be allowed to fade away. The labrador is an excellent example of a breed that should stick around... [More]

Let's face it we need to kill to eat. Yep and that includes plant and fungi.

I am vegetarian, one of the reasons I became one, is when I learn how some of the meat is processed or prepared. Yes I have. Like those chicken nuggets from McDonald's who really knows what is in them?? In Europe, just chicken breast. http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/food/nutrition/our-ingredients.mcd?menu_item=3314#dl You can check the ingredients list though. sausages? Are wonderful, especially dried cured on ones and bratwurst from the Wein nacht markt.

First off, some will go to zoos. second, animals that are raised for food now will just live out their usual life expectancy and be slaughtered at the same time they would have been, they just won't be replaced IF the synthetic meat can be made cheaper. And lastly, all our domesticated food animals are species modified and created by man through selective breeding. Their wild counterparts, for the most part, still exist. Man made the domestic cow and pig and chicken, it is not a horrible thing for them to largely disappear if man stops using them for food. Like with domestic dogs... you hear o... [More]

scientists are growing meat without animals http://www.totallyoffbeat.com/scientists-growing-meat%E2%80%A6without-animals/

I'm a vegetarian, but i still could not eat meat now. I mean even if my body would not get sick i just don't think that i would be able to eat it, muscle tissue? i think its disgusting, but it's great if those who eat meat would start eating this kind of meat instead of regular.

Yes I have. In Europe, just chicken breast. http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/food/nutrition/our-ingredients.mcd?menu_item=3314#dl You can check the ingredients list though. Are wonderful, especially dried cured on ones and bratwurst from the Wein nacht markt. It is dried cured ham and one of the most amazing taste experiences there is, similar to prosciutto di Parma and prosciutto di San Daniel. All that is done to they is salting and drying. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam%C3%B3n_serrano It is one of the finest foods in the world. Spam Erm, you have Serrano ham on that list and you are comparing i... [More]

Can any one remember George Adamski in the 60s claiming he went for a ride on Venusian flying saucer ? he claimed the aliens had produced synthetic meat similar to beef steak.
