Quite right. Some might say I'm a hypocrite because I am an animal lover who could not intentionally harm an animal but still eat them.

But as you say, we are made to eat animals and many animals are made to eat animals and given half a chance, many animals would quite like to eat us.

If Mother Nature didn't mean animals to be eaten, they wouldn't be made of meat.

Well actually we are classified as omnivores and as such, probably started as opportunistic scavengers and then developed into part time predators .

I don't consider you a hypocrite. I highly prefer paying someone else to slaughter my mammals for me. I've hunted and fished quite a bit. I don't mind killing birds and fish - but the way mammals react to being shot is too easy to relate to, and I don't like doing it.

Nothing against those that do...

However, I really enjoy butchering my own meat. I can put way more care and love into it than a large scale production facility, and do an extremely sterile and nice job of it.

After a long career in industries that deal in protein like gelatin and animal feed I find the opinions interesting. Not much knowledge about chemistry being voiced here.

One step closer to the food replicators on Star Trek! "I'll have the roasted Romulan chicken, Ferengi dumplings, and Klingon berries"

Not many want to know how the sausage is made.

It would be interesting to understand exactly how they grow the man made meat.

I have no problem with it in theory. Imo, more options is better. I'm only going to smother it in wing sauce anyway.

Right, for those with more homogastronomic (it's now a word) tastes , there could be not just chicken , beef, and pork , but also specialty meats like ...well,
you know , whatever goes well with Chianti and Fava beans . That would put the skids on the burgeoning underground cannibalism-organ market

Spending millions on a factory to do what a rooster will do for free doesn't seem like a great plan.

I think horse owners said something similar to Henry Ford.

On a different note, what I find interesting here is the ability to grow these structures in a lab. I would expect that what they are learning could be applied to regrowing human organs, muscle, skin, whatever. That's pretty cool.

I don't think that is necessarily so. You may be a little more open minded (on this topic) which makes you fodder for naysayers. Guilt free (clean) meat is appealing to me.

Well, like so many other newfangled things these days, what us geezers think matters to almost nobody . I still don't have a smartphone , because I don't need one. Will get around to it, sure, but by then , they will probably have full 3-D holographic and virtual/augmented-reality capabilities . I carry a minidisc unit around in the car to listen to . I don't have my cassette deck set up, but I haven't thrown it away (etc.) .

People keep inventing things too fast for me to keep up with, or even always know or care about . Vaping ?...WTH ?... so if people want to drive around in driverless electric cars , listening to cloudtunes , munching on synthDonald's , they're going to go right ahead and do it, by the millions , and good for them .

Spoke like a man who never owned horses. They probably got on their knees to thank him.
