Why buy an inferior product when you don't need to?

And chicken isn't at all ambitious given its something with little flavour in the first place, artificial meats have difficulty with replicating flavour well. And what premium does a meaningless moral high ground come with?

There's an entire episode of A Town Called Eureka dedicated to why not to do this :wink: :tongue:

But given that's fiction, I probably would look into this but I'd want to watch the whole process...
Haha oops :tongue:

Yes I mean vegetarian 🙊
Although with all this vegetating I've been doing over the past few weeks I wouldn't be surprised I am vegetation as well.

Let me know how that works out Personally, i think being a vegetarian is hard enough...


Fml :emo:

"Struggling" was clearly the operative word :colondollar:

Hmm, aren't you the one that values veganism over animal welfare? Is that ironic, never sure.
Yeah I would for ethical reasons.

I would be worried about unintended long term side effects though which we wouldn't know about until a few decades down the line.

These threads are always good for watching meat eaters trip over themselves in trying to defend eating meat lol.
Not being concerned about the "interests" of animals and not wanting them to die cruelly. *Not contradictory.*
* * You're bringing morals into this. Morals are irrelevant.**
You'd consider eating this but not a rescued chickens egg? :s-smilie:

Why would it be more or less ethical?Eating "meat" grown in a test tube seems no more or less moral than eating potato grown in the soil in terms of suffering of living things. Any differences would be infinitesimal.

I have no idea but I guess it could be worse for the environment. But to me, reducing animal suffering has always been the more appealing aspect of stuff like ethical vegetarianism etc.

If it was possible to buy a burger grown from a test tube as apposed to a burger grown from a cow that grew up and died in holocaust like conditions, or even a free reign cow that gets butchered in an abattoir, the test tube burger is obviously the better option in reducing animal suffering. I'd be willing to pay more tax so government could help it get off the ground if it was more expensive.

Still waiting for the reason to buy an inferior product for one would assume more than the superior product.

This new info seems to show yet another inconsistency in your position, that's all. :smile:

If this is your attempt at trying to look funny or smart, you're achieving neither. Try a little harder cupcake. *

Because there are other consideration to take into account.

I may get a lot for personal enjoyment from hitting you round the head with a base ball bat. Why should I not do that? To not do that would deny me enjoyment and would be the inferior option.
:rolleyes: Oh dear.
do not trust youtube + vid too long
facebook requires logging in = too much effort
WTF.
Is.
Supermeat.
I will almost certainly eat it in my lifetime as it will be a lot cheaper once commercialised than your standard meat. I'd be happy to eat it.

I'd also pay the premium and buy some actual meat as well.

Also hyperbole of peace with the hidden adhoms with regards to animals suffering. It's a matter of opinion whether the majority of animals raised for meat actually truly do suffer and as we've discussed many times I'm of the opposite opinion to yourself
I just hate youtube.
I'll just go without knowing then.
