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.

no they shouldn't, but there should also be stricter regulations on having live stock and making sure they are healthy and sanitary living situations.
@9RZ6VNW 1yr1Y
Research on vegan protein development options should be allowed, and any foods developed in a lab should pass FDA screenings like any other food, but if potential health issues are found, updated screenings should be implemented.
@9RRTHL41yr1Y
No, at least not until there have been sufficient studies on safety and long term effects to the human body.
Yes, but regulation and oversight is crucial to ensure that the lab-grown meat is safe, ethically produced, and accessible.
@9R8N69D1yr1Y
Yes, while providing the public with the most up-to-date nutritional information and safety regulations
@9R7JVC51yr1Y
Yes, but producers should be required to disclose their production process, ingredients, and the product must be subject to chemical testing.
@Aodhan.L 11mos11MO
On one hand, I am for whatever will lessen the suffering of animals. On the other, lab constructed meats may be expensive for the average person and could have issues.
@9VVN38GWomen’s Equality12mos12MO
Yes, as long as the government has high regulation protocols for selling lab-grown meat. If we eliminate it, people who don't eat regular meat won't get enough nutrients from what they already eat.
@homefriesGreen 1yr1Y
Yes but it should encourage agricultural practices that reduce environmental impact, such as pasturing cattle.
@9SL6PGT1yr1Y
Yes, but the government should do a heavy amount of investigations, regulations, and put lots of requirements for the meat to be produced and sold healthily to the consumers.
@9SKHWB41yr1Y
I want to say no because eventually in the future this could lead to even more of the foods we eat being non organic and potentially being loaded with microplastics, but I believe this decision would be good for the overall world as world hunger is still a huge issue.
@9RMNY721yr1Y
Yes along with ongoing longitudinal studies to assess long term effects &/or unintended consequences
@7YS3KJPIndependent 1yr1Y
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.
@JcawolfsonGreen 1yr1Y
Yes, but there must be some oversight to ensure food safety, and we mustn’t permit false advertising
@9QSHT451yr1Y
depending on the longterm effects, it is weary. I think its a good idea to protect animals but you never know how it will effect humans.
