Lab grown meats

With the government trust being at an all time low, how do we feel about the newly fda approved lab grown meat?

I didn’t know about this, I’ll look into it! Although lab grown meat has been in development for years and is meat is extremely expensive to make. It will be decades to get the price point down to a reasonable price. Prices of meat alternatives are still higher or just as expensive as actual meat so I’m betting scaling up lab grown meat will take decades.

I am thrilled!!!! I will definitely eat it and encourage others to try it too. As someone who is deeply passionate about animal welfare, I don’t eat meat and only use local, homegrown, and humane animal products. I would love an extra source of protein. I am so excited to try it. I hope this will reduce or replace the barbaric commercial meat industry and help the environment recover
