Out of the Blue

I wonder, would vegans have some excuse about not wanting to eat lab-grown meat, either, or could that be a whole new market? I think they could make a profit off of that £15 per kilo ($10.51 per lb.) concoction right now if they properly marketed it as cruelty-free, guilt-free, whatever-free meat.

The future of food is vegetarianism.

And in that future you will have imitation hamburger meat that is made from plant proteins... Go nuts!

I'm vegetarian and would have absolutely no problem eating artifically grown meat, beyond any health concerns. Then again, I do eat fish and sometimes catch dinner myself.

I like meat - I just don't like abattoirs. I'm a veterinarian and our training included several weeks' work experience in slaughterhouses, so I know exactly how they work. Eight hour shifts on the line standing next to the spinal saw kind of blunted my appetite for a nice juicy steak.
