lab grown meat vibe check

I am a meat-eater and I would

new fuck-marry-kill just dropped

too soon to tell

Yeah of course

Bring on the vat meat!!

sure why not

meat is gross regardless of where it comes from

but if it wasn't I'd give it a shot

Former meat eater (occasionally will make an exception) and hell yeah, bring on the chickienobs.

a nugget in every pot

if u can't savor the suffering what is even the point (jk would have no qualms eating lab meat)(a little queasy abt meat in general but if it's what's there i'll eat it. prefer beans, tho. all hail beans)

before i respond: is it being cooked on a gas, electric, or induction stove?

no

sure why not. seems like they could at least nail ground meat

how long does it take to grow this stuff? I could imagine it being quite energy intensive and expensive and not really any serious competition for when the Soylent G corp get's it's own product on the market.

Vat grown meat, yes
Vat grown Fleshlight, no

It is super energy intensive. So much so that i'm curious if it will ever be scaled up. Wld try it but don't need

Good Bloomberg article about the failure of Beyond Meat and co.

Fake Meat was supposed to save the world. It became just another fad

Vegan, and voted wouldn't, just because it's gross, and how could meat grown in a vat be better for me and the environment than actual vegetables?

yeah i assumed this was 'would you try it at all' and not 'would you eat it regularly'

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I am interested in the thoughts of vegetarians/vegans who Would!

when I first read about this stuff in Second Nature by Nathaniel Rich I had a grotesque vision of a cinder block sized perfectly marbled filet mignon slowly slithering across a brightly lit laboratory floor :(

Mmmmmm...Animal 57-y....

just pop a straw into that little beauty & you're good to go

72%+ acceptance rate here, vibes sound good

forgot to vote in this but i'm with the majority

i'm down for this but can we take out our own cells and make meat out of ourselves too.

i'm sure i have to many cells

omg celebrity meat cells, i am calling dibs on this lucrative business opportunity

your very own loaf of chet haze

I ate myself and want to die

HA!

forgot to vote in this but i'm with the majority

I can't wait to be the first human to get food poisoning from some unknown pathogen that hasn't existed for 10000 years. The Mammoth burger cannot be eaten for some reason like that. The company is just drumming up publicity for it's lab-grown quail products.

(ice age prions attacking my brain) thatsa spicy meatball!

my favourite moment in recent icelandic* noir (fortitude) is when the cast -- who have encountered some thawed out mammoth meat or similar -- is attacked by giant parasitic hornets that has also thawed out and emerges as a vast swarm from inside one of the character's burping mouths <-- open for a surprise!

*checking this: actually british! but filmed in iceland and set in SVALBARD

I'm holding out for a Bronto Burger.

mark s i think you would appreciate DER SCHWARM -- international sci-fi Jaws except instead of a shark the entire ocean rises up to fly @ u face

I am interested in the thoughts of vegetarians/vegans who Would!

I would try it but given that some existing burgers (eg Beyond Meat) are already too meaty to someone who hasn't had the real thing in 36 years, I think I'd really need to stick at it to get my palette accustomed to it again. And not sure why I'd bother.

Palate, rather.

add to the results a Vegan who Wouldn’t (don’t see a reason why I would) but wholly support lab-grown for otherwise meat-eating humans and pets, etc. I don’t think it’s necessarily “non-vegan”, given the suffering it saves.

a singular mammoth gene called myoglobin

wtf? myoglobin is not a "gene"

my goblin

I presume they mean the gene(s) that codes for mammoth myoglobin

the gene that contains the code for the protein myoglobin, yah

biology has a lot of very confusing terminology when it comes to heritable trains vs. proteins, phenotypes vs. genotypes, etc

if you're measuring phenotypic data then the height of an organism can be a phenotypic trait which is not what trait means with genotypes at all, etc
