Oh, good. More of the real stuff for me. I suppose I'll eat it if only you don't mess with the genes. Authentic cow seems to be the winning formula, and I don't trust humanity's current level of genetic knowledge to go and eat any of their experimental stuff without further research.
Are you serious? "Authentic cow"? You mean them cows that have been genetically bred? The ones who's fathers and mothers were selected for breeding to produce the best cows for consumption? Them "Authentic cow's"?

Oh, you mean the ones that were genetically modded outside of a lab? Oh okay then.

To be honest, with what I have just said, I am all for it. If it's identical to "the real deal" then why snub it?
Yep, those ones. At least the cows are doing the breeding themselves. I don't trust humans enough to try and come up with their own meat ideas with a petri dish or syringe or computer or however-the-heck they're doing it. Not right out of the gate. Not until they get more experience with it. But we've been using animal breeding for quite a while, and that's more of a deal of guiding what already exists than making something from scratch.

They aren't doing the breeding, really. They are just shagging the only thing they can. They separate all the bulls and all the cows, pick the best bull and cow, stick them in a field then let nature do it's thing. It's not like the farmer gave them a pep talk or showed them which ones to fuck but ultimately left it up to them ...

They aren't making DNA, they are just taking a bit of a cow and growing it. Not making it from scratch, just adding a growing agent ... from what I understand anyway.

Artificial meat: yes, I wish this could happen one day. I feel bad for eating meat at the cost of millions of innocent animals slaughtered every day.

Ok let me give you guys a little shocker I guess, The cows aren't even breeding themselves! it's all artificial insemination, You already have a guy with a petri dish making your cow that you eat, or doing the same to cows that make the milk you drink.

We are already growing the damn meat ourselves at this point all the legal drugs we use to shoot up the cows they artificial inseminate. all this is doing is not using the cow to grow the meat inside of it.

Yeah, I wish they wouldn't do that, but the FDA allows it and it's a great way to produce fatter cows at lower costs. I'm aware of how the meat industry works. I'm the kind of person who likes to eat stuff that wasn't shot full of antibiotics and growth hormones. But that's the modus operandi of today's meat industry. And that's probably going to be a problem with this synthetic stuff.

Dr Steele, who is also a molecular biologist, said he was also concerned that unhealthily high levels of antibiotics and antifungal chemicals would be needed to stop the synthetic meat from rotting.
The benefit of growing and killing actual cows? Their bodies are designed with their own immune system and are built from the ground up to produce lasting muscle. This artificial meat won't ever be part of a functional, growing body. It's a weak standalone substitute, and I don't think it will compare in terms of quality or durability. We've still got a long way to go.
