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.

I do not personally eat meat, though it's a good cause because the cow population will not be largely affected.
@B23CRQ31wk1W
No, we should only use natural means of obtaining food. Also, eliminate grocery chains and make them decentralized.
@9ZSWYD93wks3W
I think there will come a time where its necessary to start using lab made meats, but until then id rather eat real meat.
@9ZQV5PZ4wks4W
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
@9Q7C6J36mos6MO
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
@9MRWVG77mos7MO
Yes, to ensure proper tests and ethical procedures are done to ensure the safety of consumers.
@9MLXWMN7mos7MO
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.
@9WYDMSD2mos2MO
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.
