Lab Grown Meat
I've seen several articles about lab grown meat recently. Just don't think I want to eat it for several reasons!

The FDA and USDA can't keep up with their regulatory obligations now. Sorry, not gonna touch this stuff.

I have to say, it's just not food. Food was once alive, and as far as meat, it ate, had a heart & full digestive system and a head & legs...and made noise.
Somebody wants us to pay through the nose and line their pockets for scientific food substitutes. They do this under the guize of "ethical" & "better for the planet". It's probably better for you as well. Somehow, that never works out the way they make it sound.
If it isn't natural, the way it was meant to be, and has a lot of extra fiddling done that is not traditional, basic processing, it will never enter our household.
So, in order to know what you are eating if you visit someone who likes to be in the in crowd or up on the latest fads, or eat out (if you are "allowed"), you will need to start asking many more questions than just GMO.
Maybe it is a extra good thing in the end that restaurants are no longer an option for us. Everything just keeps getting more and more strange.

The first time I heard of lab grown meat I knew I would not touch it. Its just another way to control our food and us.
As @LaurieLovesLearning said "food was once alive"
You start messing with what we eat and it opens doors we don't want opened.
-
I agree we don't need these doors opened but like has been said those people who control the food control the people. Hate to say that's what I think is going on here.
Here are a couple articles from the FDA

Things like this make me sooooo glad I am a Vegetarian!
-
@Lisa K But you need to watch for things like what is in the other thread (more than gmo in the lettuce). The problems created by overzealous scientists exist one way or another no matter which camp we pitch our tent. They have managed to put their fingers into it somehow.
-
@LaurieLovesLearning agreed which is why I buy produce from places I trust also I try to buy organic when possible.
-
We might all be vegetarian before long! GMO fake meat and now lab grown meat as well as that new lettuce! I try to only by organic as well. All of this stuff seems evil to me.
-
The idea of eating lab grown makes me sick to my stomach. I struggle to understand why people think that they can do better than nature in a factory. It seems that it won't be long before it is hard to get anything real.
-
Kind of reminds me of that movie Soylent Green.
-
Long article, which I just skimmed. Point 6, especially, gave me hope.
-
Growing and eating organic heirloom veggies where possible is the way to go. But watch out for pollen and poison sprays drifting from neighbors' plants onto yours.
Ironically, I think the best to grow your own food these days is as far away from commercial farms as possible. I never thought I'd be saying that!
-
I just saw this article. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
-
Yucky, yucky, yucky. 🤦😖I
So, I guess, catch or look into growing your own fish if you can too. Sigh. Rainbow trout has about the same omega 3s as salmon, and is similarly fatty. But how would they get the beautiful taste of the ocean into that dead meat? Flavorings?
I bet @torey will not be impressed hearing this. She knows what that great fresh salmon from the coast is like (I've had fresh Pacific salmon only twice), and there is absolutely nothing that matches that flavor!
-
@Michelle D Yuck!! It go from bad to worse! I will not buy any of this fake meat or seafood.
-
That's a lot of farm land and all near waterways.
-
I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
-
I agree. The thought alone is disgusting.
