    Unless you’re referring to fake meat like impossible burger, what is wrong with lab grown meat? Does the nutritional value change when cells are cloned or something?

      Most notably the fact that it grows so quickly by utilizing cancer cells, also that this is the exact same scenario as the cigarette epidemic, no one knows what exactly are the side effects since this has never been done before, were trying to paly god without knowing the implications. Also i find it ironic how most people stay away from preservatives and artificial chemicals because “theyre bad and make in a lab” but will happily down man’s attempt at playing god

        Where did you heard that? The only sources I’ve been able to find about lab-grown meat being made out of cancerous cells are tik-tok videos.

        All articles I’ve read talk about it being made out of stem cells.

        Not calling you a liar, and you have a point that this is something really new and we do not, in fact, know the long term consequences. But I couldn’t find any reliable source to your claim.

        And since I know the meat industry will do anything in its power to stop lab-grown meat from being a thing, I wouldn’t trust just “rumors”.

        But I guess we should all be a bit skeptical of any claims both for in favor and against.
