Lab-grown meat is produced by culturing animal cells and could serve as an alternative to traditional livestock farming. Proponents argue that it can reduce environmental impact and animal suffering, and improve food security. Opponents argue that it may face public resistance and unknown long-term health effects.

The cultured cell is alive and prone to picking up infections or mutations, just the same as its ancestors did when they were in a live animal. However, unlike its ancestors, the cultured cell doesn’t have the protection of the immune system and wider body to keep things in check.

@B229GZL2mos2MO
If we can avoid killing animals and getting the same nutritional value, I don't know why you wouldn't be in favor of lab grown meat.
@9ZRTLKX2mos2MO
They shouldn't make lab grown meat due to the meat being unstable and having bacteria grown over time.
@9SXKSGMNew Democratic5mos5MO
There is no way that the chemicals used to create lab grown meat will have good long term effects for our body. So let’s prioritize putting that money back into farmers and livestock to create healthy, free ranged meat.
@ISIDEWITH9mos9MO
Yes
@9ZRTLKX2mos2MO
Lab grown meat is important due it could replace farming and open up many parts of land open for urbanization, energy, or other government projects.
@9MW8Y2BConservative8mos8MO
natural food is always best. lets not play with nature. this can be understood through natural catatrophes. that we should not mess with naturein any way.
@B2S72SX1hr1H
I find fast food reatorants need this for fast and mass production, but it is not something that we should give in to for any adverse in this.
No and yes if people feel more comfortable with lab grown then make it but I believe real meet will be better
@B2CNQ6Z3wks3W
No, return to sustainable farming practices and get commercial and science out of the food industry.
@B2BMK7B4wks4W
Yes, but perform more studies first, & allow it as long as a disclosure is prominently displayed on packaging and restaurant menus
@B2574KFNew Democratic2mos2MO
I do not personally eat meat, though it's a good cause because the cow population will not be largely affected.
@B23CRQ32mos2MO
No, we should only use natural means of obtaining food. Also, eliminate grocery chains and make them decentralized.
@9ZSWYD92mos2MO
I think there will come a time where its necessary to start using lab made meats, but until then id rather eat real meat.
@9ZQV5PZ2mos2MO
Yes, as long as there is both wide agreement amongst independent research and health bodies that lab-grown meat is safe long-term for consumption and will reduce carbon emissions in total
@9Q7C6J37mos7MO
I believe that until the health risks and effects have been studied and are well known that the government should not allow the commercialization of lab-grown meat
@9MRWVG79mos9MO
Yes, to ensure proper tests and ethical procedures are done to ensure the safety of consumers.
@9MLXWMN9mos9MO
Allow commercialization while ensuring enough safety checks have been done through CFIA. Any potential health risks must be made publicly available and the manufacturer's must display such risks on their labels.
@B2J775M2wks2W
No, there is no way that the chemicals used to create lab-grown meat will have good long-term effects on our bodies. So let’s prioritize putting that money back into farmers and livestock to create healthy, free-range meat.
@B299V9W4wks4W
NO. The human body is energetic and the non natural frequency of the meat will cause reactions/chronic illness/mental illness. if you understand homeostasis you will understand why this is a big NO. Mother Nature is healing while all man made frequencies is illness causing.
@B286ZK4New Democratic1mo1MO
No. But we should focus more on local farmers instead of commercial farming, as generally it's the commercial farms that have animal suffering issues. More research is also needed to ensure safety
@9WYDMSD3mos3MO
No, i do not trust it, the artificial growth of cells like that sounds like cancer cells and that can potentially cause a public health disaster. until there is more research into it with longterm studies on human health we should not allow it. but i do see how that can help lower costs of meat by increasing the supply of meat in our national food supply. could be a real way to achieve post scarcity which would be a net benefit to society.
@9WNCQDSNew Democratic3mos3MO
Yes, but as studies are done to determine it's safety, and it is properly displaced on packaging and restaurant menus
@9VRLFFN4mos4MO
needs more research but should be supported as long as packaging is clear about what the product contains
@9TMMVLNNew Democratic5mos5MO
yes as long as the lab-grown meat follows the same safety qualification tests as traditional livestock farming, there shouldn't be issue with doing so.
@9T42CXP5mos5MO
Yes and no, only ensured safe lab grown meat should be commercialized and other lab grown meat should be studied more to ensure safety of it
@9RQNPMR6mos6MO
Only if it will be more affordable and provide all the nutrients found in organic grass fed and have no toxic contents ,processes or byproducts.
@9RPDQJJ6mos6MO
Yes, assuming that the products are clearly labelled as such and undergo the same restrictions needing to be met as the standard supply.
@9RC2QHKNew Democratic7mos7MO
Yes, but it should be regulated to maintain a standard quality and prevent a monopoly on the industry.
@9RBYBX67mos7MO
It has been scientifically proven that there are cons to lab-grown meat compared to naturally farmed. I greatly disagree with this.
@9RBRS6M7mos7MO
The government should stop subsidizing meat and help fund other protein source production like redirecting soy feed from livestock to human food
@9R4QBMX7mos7MO
it depends, I would not eat it but some people might so as long as it is safe I would say within moderation.
@9QSFSCC7mos7MO
Yes, but with proper regulation to ensure quality of nutrition is equivalent to naturally harvested meat.
@9MVG8TW9mos9MO
Yes, and the government should fund research into the long term effects
@9MRY4V39mos9MO
Yes, but it should be regulated to ensure proper studies and tests are done down to ensure ethical practice to ensure consumer saftey
Why would you eat something that is lab-grown? It just feels depressing when you don't eat actual meat... We should increase the amount of meat people eat, because some people lack the essential nutrients they need. The meat you get from the animal has more nutrients than lab-grown ones because the companies that make them don't tell you what is inside the lab-grown ones.
@9TP4MHS5mos5MO
The meat should be aprroved to be safe to eat, people must have a choice of wether or not, and further testing should be conducted even if sold to the public.
@9QS4NW87mos7MO
Doesn't really matter, as this is a free country. If you want to commercialize something, you should. The fact that you even have to ask this question is ridiculous.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 8mos8MO
As long as lab-grown meat follows the same safety qualification tests as traditional livestock farming, there shouldn't be issue with doing so.
@9NZN9CH8mos8MO
Yes, only if it body stated wether it is real or lab grown.
@9NVYVQF8mos8MO
Yes, provided that there is transparency about the nutrition/health effects
@9NQ42RX8mos8MO
yes, as long as it is a safe, healthy and affordable alternative to real meat
@9NNN7FQ8mos8MO
They research it more and test it on people willing to eat it and see if their is any issues.
@9NKWLDM8mos8MO
No, let it be tested on further until it has been documented lab-grown meat will not affect the human body
@9NGVZF88mos8MO
I guess?? If not in excess it wouldn't take away from farmer jobs too much.
@9MZ37W78mos8MO
Yes, but it must be stated clearly on the packaged with full transparency
@9NZJ3SWNew Democratic8mos8MO
Yes, provided there is conclusive, independent research on the long-term health effects of consuming lab-grown meat.
@B2FXBYQ3wks3W
Yes, for the people who cant eat real meat due to their beilefs or for any other resons that would like to.
