HOLY COW (pun intended)
Ethical issues aside, I just wouldn't eat that because it's gross!!
In all seriousness though - I wonder what would happen to the animals the cells are taken from in the long run? Like how would they be kept, how many of them would we need etc.. Even though it's obviously better than killing them, it still sort of seems like unnecessary use of animals.
I appreciate their intentions for sure.. but what's wrong with veggie burgers?!

That's all well and good, but a fairly large part of our calorific intake comes from meats. Where are you proposing we grow the extra crops that we need if we don't have meat? I'm pretty sure agriculture wouldn't support it, and neither would the economy etc.

Do you know what is the most grown crop in the UK is?

Why are veggie burgers sometimes massively spicy? I have them because they are cheaper (I eat meat).

I don't know but it is depressing because I hate spicy food!
Whenever my friends go to McDonald's (where the only veggie thing is a spicy bean burger or something), I always end up just getting carrot sticks and feeling like a massive cliche!! -_- Spicy veggie burgers aside though, there are some really amazing ones out there too

Yeah chips are good, I just meant as a replacement to the burger I have carrot sticks

I'll bear it in mind, the next time I then dip my chips into the red myoglobin goodness that pours out of my steak.

Im gonna go veggie at the end of this week
We eat meat by nature, the same way that lions catch prey and eat it. Be my guest and tell all the lions in the world to stop. And do take into account that slaughtering a farm animal is nowhere near as torturous as a gazelle being hunted until it can't run any longer, then having chunks taken out of it while still alive.
I personally hate red meat, but that's just my personal taste (I love chicken though). If I liked how it tasted, I would still eat it. If a few people stop eating meat, it won't decrease the number of animals being farmed for it.
ALSO: drinking milk is so much more inhumane than eating meat. So is eating honey. Why not read up on what happens to the majority of male calves right after they're born, and why bees are dying? If you still consume these products, it's a bit hypocritical of you to ask others not to eat meat, don't you think?

the title is obvious, of course we don't have to eat meat, but people chose to sadly
