But why do you want to be eating chemicals?

Even if they SAY that it's good for you. There is a layer of trust missing from that. I would personally have to know exactly what's in it.

I understand where you are coming from, many people have a large distrust to companies which in many cases spread false information. However the capabilities of the Earth as of now are starting to decay due to a lack of effort in climate change, making it harder to produce crops. When push comes to shove the planet might not be suitable to create these meats we now know of today, research in Lab Grown Meat is pioneering the survival of humanity as a whole. Yes, I can agree with you that companies may use this to take advantage of the market and exploit the organic meat production which is why we should invest in Lab Grown Meat but also tighten regulation of the market to ensure that we as the people have free choice of food.

 @BCC4ZMG from Missouri  agreed…3mos3MO

I agree, if I were to eat anything grown in a lab I would need to know exactly how it was made and what chemicals were used to grow the meat

 @BCC5JZZ from Oklahoma  agreed…3mos3MO

The people have a right to know what their food is made of and should be able to trust the government that they're being fed REAL food.

 @BCBNZPV from North Carolina  agreed…3mos3MO

Lab grown meat is made from synthetic vitamins/nutrients instead of those being naturally grown like normal. This meat is also extremely processed.

 @BCBHYXK from North Carolina  agreed…3mos3MO

I completely agree. We have no true idea what is actually in it and, like you said, that is asking a lot to just blindly trust the chemically meat.

 @BCBQZFH from Texas  agreed…3mos3MO

While farm-grown meat can be expensive and possibly negatively environmentally impactful, it's genuinely just disgusting and unnatural. I don't want to be eating a mockery of the meat of an animal that never lived and never died. If it were to become a thing, I think it would be necessary to label which hormones, additives, and anything else that was put into the lab-grown meat. I still wouldn't be eating it, though.

 @BCBZXC4No Labels  from Missouri  agreed…3mos3MO

From my perspective, I disagree. I don't really know the ins and outs of the topic, but I believe the natural approach is far superior.

 @BCBFLX6 from Guam  agreed…3mos3MO

If it ain’t for a real cow, it ain’t real, and it’ just chemicals. We evolved eating meat. Why do we even need this?

 @BCBY4FGRepublican from Texas  agreed…3mos3MO

Borderline it is not natural. We don't know the long term effects of lab-grown meat the same way that we didn't know the long term effect of smoking until the mid-late 1900s. Anything that is not natural is not good for the human body.

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.
