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.

No, we should only use natural means of obtaining food. Also, eliminate grocery chains and make them decentralized.
@9ZQV5PZ3mos3MO
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
@9Q7C6J38mos8MO
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.
@B2Q4LN51mo1MO
No and yes if people feel more comfortable with lab grown then make it but I believe real meet will be better
@B2J775M1mo1MO
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.
@B2CNQ6Z2mos2MO
No, return to sustainable farming practices and get commercial and science out of the food industry.
@B2BMK7B2mos2MO
Yes, but perform more studies first, & allow it as long as a disclosure is prominently displayed on packaging and restaurant menus
