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.
@9NRTCH4Constitution3hrs3H
If lab grown meat can be proven safe and the process is transparent and auditable there should be no problems with offering it to the public.
@9NR2SC312hrs12H
I don't really see the relevance of lab grown meat. already the U.S produces a lot of meat from farming.
@9NQ4SYG 23hrs23H
No, it's not vegan to retrieve and culture animal cells as an alternative to traditional livestock farming.
@9NNWJCN2 days2D
Yes, the government should not be in the business of business. This is what journalism is for. To make the consumer aware of the things they may not be aware of. Then they can make their own choices.
@9NN8VYKLibertarian2 days2D
No subsidies, only normal food safety regulations applicable to the entire meat industry. It should be clearly labeled though.
Yes, but there needs to be regulations to ensure there will be no consequences for individuals who consume the products.
@9NMMVKB3 days3D
only after extensive research and testing. Also they should require 100% transparency on how where when the lab-grown meat was made. also create a program that is specifically to regulate this.
@9NMGM9D3 days3D
It is not a thing that is properly the responsibility of government. The free market should prevail.
@9NLX5P93 days3D
I think whoever would like the lab- made meat should eat it, but It shouldn't become the replacement for natural meat.
@9NLNMD33 days3D
Yes, but it should have to go through more FDA approval processes before being released to the public.
@9NKP4B44 days4D
This is an interesting technology, but requires long term evaluation to be sure it is safe for human consumption.
@9NK2F9R4 days4D
Yes but it needs to be regulated to avoid monopolization. The traditional meat system should not suffer.
@9NJPXBB4 days4D
I don't think I truly care about this right now, but it should be fully studied before given to the people.
@9NJP2HW4 days4D
Government shouldn't have a say in what food is available to the market. Let the market decide what food should be produced.
@9NJLDBK4 days4D
This needs more study, but in the end I don't see where lab meat is any less harmful to the planet than "real" meat.
@9NJGVMS4 days4D
They can allow it but I think that they should study it more and make sure it's safe and give warnings.
@9NJ7WXJ4 days4D
If its just only for veganism then no but if this is EXACTLY like meat then I'm ok with it and i would personally think its a better solution
No, the current iteration of the technology does nothing to reduce climate impacts of industrial animal husbandry.
@9NH344CIndependent5 days5D
Yes, but there needs to be regulations enforcing appropriate advertising. In addition lab grown foods should be clearly indicated as lab grown and sold separately from other meat products
@9NFW5SCLibertarian6 days6D
Yes, and the FDA should be abolished since it is a drain of resources we do not have, and since it does not do its job anyway, merely serving as a racket for Big Pharma and Big Food.
@9NFFLMZ6 days6D
Yes, but only after the same safety standards for organic meat are met and are properly labeled as lab grown.
@9NFBHHT6 days6D
Yes the government shouldn't meddle in the free market. If people want to buy and consume lab grown meat they should be allowed to.
@9NF9NH46 days6D
Companies have the right to produce a safe product, but, the government should not promote or require that products be consumed.
@9NDKNSF 7 days7D
Yes, but the package should be properly marked so consumers know what they are buying and know the potential unknown future risks behind it.
@9NDKCDH7 days7D
Further studies necessary for the healthy development of our society but alternatives to environmentally harsh practices should be considered!
@7YS3KJPIndependent 7 days7D
No, not until it has been further studied. To that end, I do wholeheartedly support funding for research into the health implications to push this process along, as I do feel the potential upsides of this could be very significant, at least for people in the West who are more likely to be able to afford this kind of thing.
@LucidLibertarian 1wk1W
Yes, but producers should be required to fully disclose the meat is lab-grown and pay for outside organizations to publish any health risks that become known or associated with lab-grown meat.
YES BUT they must provide very clear and easy to notices messages in the advertisement that labels the product as a lab-grown meat
@9NBJDXR1wk1W
Instead, The government should ban unethical animal farming and require all meat to be sustained ethically.
@jwolfsg1590Constitution 1wk1W
Soylent Green is people!
@9N9JNPN1wk1W
I believe lab grown meat should be allowed but by no means pushed or promoted by the government. I think clear labels on all products using lab grown should be required.
If the meat is lab-grown it should be labeled as such. Whatever was used to grow the meat should be on the label.
@9N9DTCT1wk1W
Only once it has been proven to be safe for consumption by federal regulators AND a detached third party scientific organization.
@9N8YXF21wk1W
Lab grown meat should be regulated. Privatization of nutritional growth should be allowed to be privatized, organic growth is a slippery slope.
@9N8XZVD1wk1W
Yes, but without subsidies and without calling it meat. It must be labeled as "lab-grown" or "fake" meat. Also, this should be decided at the state level.
@9N8XVGK1wk1W
Yes, but only with strict oversight and regulation by the FDA to establish standards for lab-grown meat sold in the US.
@9N8JFLXRepublican1wk1W
Yes, and let the consumer decide. The producers of lab-grown meat must clearly state the nutritional information and ingredients.
@9N7SV2S1wk1W
Yes, but only after thorough research into the long lasting effects on our health, and with frequent and consistent testing to ensure quality and safety of the meat before being sold.
@9N7NRC31wk1W
The government should allow the market to determine this, and not position itself as for our against at any level.
@9N6K8JM1wk1W
Yes, but only with those companies wishing to take part being required to collectively fund an independent oversight of such to test and monitor any long term effects.
@9N694LC1wk1W
Yeah, but I feel like it shouldn't be a complete replacement if it doesn't end up being all that great.
@9N5T2SW2wks2W
if it proves to provide no detrimental health defects and provides the standard nutrients as natural meat
@9N5JXC92wks2W
If it can compete on the market without subsidy or regulation again Brady it's competitors, then so be it.
@9N552QS2wks2W
Yes, but only with careful regulation & enforcement far in excess of animal-grown meat requirements, and only for the lowest rungs of society, such as the homeless.
With strict regulations and HARSH penalties including a $999,000,000,000,000,000,000 fine per violation.
@db2wks2W
It should be allowed just like raw milk, drugs, etc. the free market should decide, and hopefully bankrupt it.
@9N4HDRQ2wks2W
More studies need to be done on this before commercialization - how will this effect carbon emissions? how will this effect animal populations? what is the cost of producing lab-grown meat versus maintaining meat production from animals?
More research is required, but to fight world hunger it’s a good idea but could be devastating for farmers and other food production.
@9N379FJ2wks2W
As long as it is labeled as lab-grown. Consumers can choose vat grown meat or not, as they choose any other meat alternative.
@9N2WC4X2wks2W
No, we already have enough health issues due to human altering of food sources. We need to get back to the basics in our country.
