I'd at least try it although I don't eat much meat anyway.

Cultured meat isn't artificial, it is grown from the cells of real living animals.
Cultured Beef is created by painlessly harvesting muscle cells from a living cow. Scientists then feed and nurture the cells so they multiply to create muscle tissue, which is the main component of the meat we eat. It is biologically exactly the same as the meat tissue that comes from a cow.

I would eat it, without any qualms whatsoever.

No, eat a veggie diet anyway

No fear. I am not a big meat eater anyway but when I am I want the proper stuff and not something that has been tinkered about with, washed in chlorine or stuffed full of God knows what.

Its none of those things. Its artificial meat, nothing to do with an actual living animal.

I'm veggie. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Buy a nice aubergine instead.

No. I'm nearly a vegetarian now. Cutting right down on meat.
Just can't resist a bit of chicken now and then.

No in a word.

No. We have enough added ingredients in our food already.

As I understand it this is meat cultured in the laboratory ( at present) so not clear whether it would have added ingredients?

After the glimpse of what I saw yesterday I might consider it, although it does have the yuk factor, but maybe we should get over it and stop sentient beings suffering.

No thanks I'd rather become a vegetarian.

Sounds like ‘posh’ meat.

No, I won’t be eating it.

What is it? Is it that fake meat stuff ? Sounds like something germy grown in a test tube !

I think that it is micro organisms but in much larger vessels than a test tube.

I won't eat it, but I have been vegan for many years.

I don't eat the vegan stuff that is made to look and even taste like "the original".

Though if the fake stuff and the test tube stuff is eaten by people who presently eat "the original" and thereby reduces or better still eliminates the cruelty then that would be beneficial.

Probably not as I don’t feel any need to eat meat I don’t hanker after it I m more than happy with my vegetarian diet so wouldn’t have any need to change again now
I prefer natural food to scientifically altered food anyway, I see no need for me but if it helps the planet to get people away from killing animal then it should be helpful

No

In 2019 the first cooked cultured chicken meat was sold to the public in Singapore.

It seems all the big names have put their money into this and other cultured meat products.

It is on track to be available in our supermarkets from 2023-2030.

The savings for the planet and of course animal grown meat are obvious.

If it passes criteria for farmed meat, and is of a similar price, will you buy it?
