RE: Steemit vegetarians, "deathless meat" is almost here...what do you think?
Everybody seems to be dead certain that there will be health risks that come with the lab-grown meat, and I don't really know why. I understand a healthy dose of skepticism, but these meats would of course be subject to testing and FDA regulations and all that. I think this well-poisoning is symptomatic of the anti-science, anti-intellectual notions that permeate our society. New technology scares people beyond reason.
It's possible there'd be FEWER health risks since you'd not need to feed a real animal antibiotics, for example
Exactly. If we can control the environment the meat is raised/created in, we don't have to worry about illness, injury, exposure to chemicals, etc.
