Would you eat it ? Lab grown meat

It may well be. But we should just legislate better farming practises across the board instead.

We often have some of the best standards in Europe. For decades Farmers have been complaining that the UK gold plated EU standards putting them at a disadvantage. If you think cheap Polish pork is grown to the same standards as UK pork I have some ad news for you.

No it isn't.
EU has banned antibiotics.
Hormone treatment is banned in UK.
Cattle in UK are not given routine antibiotics. There may well be some dodgy factory farms misusing them to get around their shoddy hygene, but routine antibiotics are not used across the board. As I've already stated, they're prohibited for organic produce.

Putting you on ignore.

lol, Classic dunning kruegar effect, I suggest you inform yourself. If a red tractor/RSPCA assured farm uses anti-biotics, (see below) what do you think happens in factory farms?

32:47 if you dont wanna watch the whole thing.



"In January 2022, the routine use of antibiotics was banned in the EU, and preventative use was restricted to exceptional treatments of individual animals. Antibiotics can also no longer be applied to compensate for poor hygiene and animal husbandry practices. This ban does not apply to the UK.

Do you think theres much of a difference between factory farms in the UK and ones in poland?

Theres this belief that everyone has about their own country, I used to think it aswell, that our farms and slaughterhouses are some magical places where animals dont suffer, but im not sure how many times they have to be exposed for people to realise this isnt true.

These guys go into UK places and show what really happens, dispels some myths about any "gold plated standards" people might think we have.

Not necessarily...
If bio-synthetic meat can be produced in adequate quantities to adequate standards, while being cheaper than farmed meat, and/or with a notably lesser impact on the environment, then even the most heavenly livestock farming practices will simply become a very niche hobbyist market, catering to rich people who wipe their arses with a swan.

But as the links posted earlier do show, a lot of the livestock meat industry is still below even current standards and legislation...

If they can get the texture right, I can't see why not.

They've done it with the Oriental substitutes, and current bio-synth is supposed to be as good as regular minced beef... a bit more work and I think they'll have it. It's mostly just getting it fibrous enough to seem like a steak, isn't it?

Liver regenerates, so maybe that can be tanked as well.
Never been a particular fan of either myself, and I imagine it will become a niche thing... but then we still need sheep for wool, cows for milk and chickens for eggs, so as they come to the end of their service life I suppose they could find meaning in a Pukka factory.

Does that mean I can have your haggis? :D
 
If I can eat a macdonalds burger, I'm sure some lab grown meat can't taste any worse.

Macdonalds burger is the last resort if cornered .
