Vegans/vegetarians get in here!

How do you feel about lab grown meat

good idea

good idea

I'm glad I thought of it

i don't really care. i don't need to pretend i'm eating meat to cope with being a vegan.

BUT WHAT IF THE LAB'S WALLS ARE BUILT FROM THE BONES OF TROPHY HUNTED PREY

I had the sofritas once at Chipotle.

I am saddened to say that I quite enjoyed them. If they ever run out of chicken one day while I'm ordering, I would have no qualms ordering their tofu....

I feel disgusted with myself....

BUT WHAT IF THE TROPHY HUNTED PREY'S LAB ARE BUILT FROM THE BONES OF THE WALLS

I just wonder if they can get the taste/texture to be good

As long as the organism was never alive, it's a fantastic idea.

once you've stopped eating something for so long, you begin to realize how gross it really is

i can't even think about the taste of chicken anymore without retching, and it used to be my favorite food

but whatever gets people to stop eating the real stuff, i suppose--but then again, if you think about it, perhaps synthetic meat analogues would just create even more demand for "real" meat down the line when veganism is more widespread

Too much room for food companies to fuck us over tbh

you should all just learn to photosynthesise, like me

im all for it if it means less animals suffer but if people were not so lazy this would be unnecessary.  Eating meat is like an addiction to smoking, users cannot see themselves without

this is making me hungry

You did not just compare eating meat to smoking. They're nothing alike. And no, people don't refuse artificial meat because they're addicted to real meat, artificial meat isn't widespread enough to be as prevalent as natural meat. Artificial meat isn't practical enough to replace real meat in markets (this is ignoring the other argument that artificial meat isn't even sold in most markets) and wont be for a very long time.

You also have to look at the downside of farmers who produce meat. They will most surely lose their business and in terms of livelihood, a farmer and his family is worth more than a group of chickens.

Gats might have a point. Whenever I see a wild rabbit I have an irritable urge to get a stew pot ready.

You're right. Eating meat is WAY more addictive than nicotine.

Good, fuck them.

  as somebody balls deep in biochemistry for the past few years, meat actually causes chemical reaction in the brain really similar to other addictive substances such as caffine, sugar, and yes nicotine.

There are a myriad of health benefits to eating meat whereas there is only damage from smoking. I don't see vegans suffer from drug withdrawal like legitimate addicts do. Considering how there isn't widespread claims from vegans on how difficult it was to "quit" eating meat, comparing meat to smoking is just downright fucking silly.

You can sit there and give legitimate reasoning like the ethics of the animals, or being able to form a diet with a substitute source of protein and nutrients. However, to say that meat, that has its own health benefits provided how informed and smart you are with how you consume it is the same as something that is only there to damage the body is just objectively wrong.

This is all ignoring the fact that once again, artificial meat isn't widespread enough for us to say people are choosing real meat in droves because they're addicted. When (and even I admit it's inevitable) artificial meat STARTS to become common place, people will most likely avoid it simply out of uninformed fear such as current GMO products, not because they're unethical addicts.

you were talking about addiction, not health benefits

Actually I was criticizing the comparison between smoking and eating meat in general so....

yeah, and eating meat is worse in every way that matters

And what if I'm a self-centered hedonistic triathlete?

I love meat and GMOs but they're mildly addictive it's just a fact man

Verbatim is a vegan to compensate for the behavior.

I'd say he has beef on almost everyone, but that joke has already been about.

I'm all for it. I've always said I'd return to meat once it's been knocked up in a tray.

Are you referring to "Super Meat"?

I feel like this would cause more cancer than anything else.
