Whilst lab-grown meat may seem more ethical, in some people's eyes, this process can be far more expensive than farming livestock. Not only this, but livestock also better supports the free market, as the ease of entry is far... easier... when it comes to caring for livestock, than to growing meat inside a laboratory. To make matters worse, the lab-grown meat lacks the extra vitamins and minerals that are found in the meat of livestock that have been raised to completion, often gained from feeding or even emotional processes, which is why farmers try to reduce stress on animals.

Yes, although natural and organic meat is less easy to breed, raise, produce, and ship, and therefore less quick, making it less efficient, it is healthier for us, the animals, and our environment/atmosphere. (The world, globe, and Earth.)

 @BC5J9VC from California  agreed…3mos3MO

I agree with the Author because with lab grown it may be more ethical the fact that it will never same compared to a live cow because in the lab you may not know any errors with the meat if it has gone bad and foul to others because it was made in a lab compared to a cow you are able to tell when it is sick.

 @BC55LJF from Louisiana  agreed…3mos3MO

While lab grown meat may seem easier and more practical, it would be technically more expensive to produce because it has more outgoing ingredients. Plus, the health benefits would not be up to par as if it was real raw meat.

 @BC5HWZ5Independent  from Florida  agreed…3mos3MO

To begin I am not a believer of lab grown meat, it makes me uncomfortable to say the least. Its not natural. I partially agree that lab grown meat is currently more expensive and requires specialized technology, which makes it harder for small producers to enter the market compared to traditional livestock farming. Cost and scalability are real challenges right now. However, some of the other claims are still being studied. For example, scientists are actively working on matching the nutritional profile of conventional meat, and lab grown meat can potentially be engineered to include the same…  Read more

its not about the expenses or environment its gross how can they sell "meat" when It was never connected to a animal with a heart beat that lives the meat being grown is wrong its humans playing God and its peverted

 @BC53LZJ from North Carolina  agreed…3mos3MO

Lab grown meat is probably the most disturbing thing ever and we should get all our meat from local farms making all meat natural and not filled with different things that could harm humans.

 @BC55DYM from Minnesota  agreed…3mos3MO

I personally dont agree with this because I would not like to meat that needs to be made with or have any type of lab grown in it. I want to eat fresh meat not lab grown meat.

 @BC5C8DJ from Utah  agreed…3mos3MO

if you make lab meat it will make people way more unhealthy and its fake with diffrent chemicals its sick at least animals arent dying but health issues will be very bad

 @BC5HZRQfrom Montana  disagreed…3mos3MO

People are dying, food is food, if this is something that allows more food to be produced and improves some lives, then so be it.

 @BC5C6TDNo Labels from Utah  agreed…3mos3MO

Lab grown meat just sound unsafe hearing the name. I get that cows and other wild life play a role in our ecosystem but i dont think that we should start making meat in a lab. Meat, real meat is apart of the human diet.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
