    Yes.
    i wonder if this will have a hard time getting approved in the US. farm lobby may have something to say about it.

    i eat a lot of meat and the older i get the worse i feel about it. would be interested in an alternative and would just get my protein through shakes or something.
    I don’t eat a LOT of meat (the red kind), but sometimes I literally crave it. Something primal, perhaps?

    I ingest a fair amount of protein, but for me, there’s such a huge difference between my morning smoothie, vs. a beautiful bite (or three) of a nice, medium-rare steak.

    Good question.  Is the goal to replicate meat, or is the goal to make it .... better. Healthier? Tastier? Who knows how we might define better. 

    I’m guessing that the goal of these first companies is to make it as similar as possible, but things could really change over time.

    They already lobby hard against descriptors that suggest a resemblance to meat, so they’ll definitely try to prevent this.

    My answer is yes, provided I’m satisfied with the data (my answer to most things). There are so many meat products I miss that I don’t eat anymore, for ethical and environmental reasons. If I can be satisfied that this is being done in a way that doesn’t cause more environmental problems than it solves, and that produces a product at least as safe as meat from animals (which is also not guaranteed to be safe) then I’m happy to give it a try. Please, please give me bacon that I don’t have to feel guilty about!

    I also read a lot of science fiction and this idea is so commonplace that honestly, I can hardly believe that we don’t already have cultured meat. 
    Cultured meat makes me think of those who think they’re above the fray :lol:

    Your approach is a common sense one, upon further reflection. I guess I’m somewhere between you and Mal.

    You got your commoner meat for the chavs, you know, and then you got your posh meat

    this is true. the shakes just aren't the same. i went a long time trying to limit red meat and focus on chicken and fish, but there is nothing like a medium rare steak. maybe they can replicate it with this?

    would probably be uber expensive.

    i do think it is a primal thing though.

    I have been experiencing quite a bit of deja vu lately.  There must be a glitch!

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    No doubt. Weren't some gigapages from notebook 2002?

    Anyhow... I'd probably eat it. Maybe might help feed the overpopulated earth do we don't have to war with one another.

    I mean, honesty, if it’s tasty, I’ll probably eat it...maybe as a desert after the ribeye?  :)
    If it requires ketchup, I’m out.

    I'd rather eat this stuff than insect protein, which is frankly the other direction we're going as the global population increases.

    I've been offered baked goods made with cricket protein, but could not make myself try it.

    (I have eaten frog in Vietnam, but only to not appear rude to our hosts. Would rather not go down that road, either.)
