We have managed to grow animal tissue in labs I heard it feels and taste like chicken but you can not buy it yet.
Yes that's why I used the word cheaply, currently it's very very expensive. I'm actually quite interested if we'll manage to replace most animal meat by meat grown in labs in the next couple decades.

No probably never. My love of bacon, steak and dairy products far out-ways my love for nature and animals.

Has to pass by the doors of the Food Administration first.

Guess how long their going to drag it out.
A weary,weary,weary long time I guess...but we have still managed to make synthetic chicken meat.

I'm dangerously close to cutting out all meat and animal products, I just don't like the stigma attached to it lol

Besides, healthy food costs alot more than bad food, and I buy games so my extra funds are quite limited :(
yeah, it takes the piss that people are exploiting so called healthy foods and selling stuff you could've made at home for under £1 for as high as £4.29 or similar ... perhaps higher

with that much cash you could make the same thing 10 times over at home ... basically this is the golden rule of veganism or vegetarianism .... you will have to learn to cook

once you do you'll find out how cheap vegan food really is

NO.

No, no, no, no, no. NEVER.

I like my flesh and dairy and eggs too much.

Health is overrated.

wait ?...what ? either I am miss understanding what you have written or did you just hint that you get more attractive if you eat vegan ?...If I am miss understanding then I am sorry.

you're at peace, you respect all others and their decisions and you like what you see in the mirror (both physically and psychologically) ... if that's the case then cravings won't be an issue ... especially with all the beautiful vegan cuisine from all around the world to keep your taste buds occupied
no, you don't have to be attractive to look in the mirror, smile and feel good about yourself
Yes, I know that you do not have to be attractive to do that.But many people still think that they have to be "attractive" to do that.

When they can make synthetic alligator, and make it NOT a specialized food, I'll jump for joy.

Nope. While I am an avid animal lover, I see nothing wrong with eating animals or things such as milk or honey because...I am an animal. I don't believe that I, being a human being, am any better or worse than other animals because I have the higher learning capabilities. I have fur, though a lot less than others, if I had young they wouldn't have been born in eggs and I would give them milk from my body, face it, we're mammals. Just because we can do math doesn't change that.

So like any other animal that is an omnivore I will eat meat and plants, but of course I will not say anything against people who wish to be a vegetarian or a vegan. In fact I applaud them...as long as they really are what they say they are. I do not appreciate people that say "I don't eat meat" and then bite into a chicken leg or take another bite of tuna filet.

One of my aunts has been a vegan for years and she took me to a vegan cooking conference one summer since she knows I enjoy cooking. I was actually surprised at the wide variety of foods and recipes they had! As to whether or not I'd actually become one, I don't know, but I can at least say that I know it wouldn't be as awful as some people make it out to be.

i would not.
why?
well look at it this way:
plant cells and animal cells are exactly the same. execpt that the plant cell has an added "cell wall".
now plants--as a whole, not just cells--do not have nerves and therefore can't feel pain.
they also can't defend themselves or run.
but when eaten, the plant cells will die the same way animal cells would.
so eating a plant is the same as eating a cow.
the difference is that plants can't cry out in pain as you kill them.
the cells could be feeling pain, but they can't scream out saying they are.
the just have to sit there, motionless, waiting to die.

so yeah, i'd rather eat something that has a fighting chance, then something that can't fight back.

Ah, I see. Sorry for kinda biting your head off, there.

And that milk thing actually makes a lot of sense.
it's cool man ^^

yeah, some of the documentaries i've seen scared the hell out of me .. apparently when the cows get pumped with these chems they also have a bit of a pus discharge along with the milk ... and this pus is meant to be the same colour but slightly thicker .. meaning some cartons or whatever of milk (mostly cheap milk, but u never know) might have cow pus in it

apart from needless slaughter and suffering caused ... i'm also worried about what they're putting in the meat to make it bigger, grow faster ect ... then they not only deem this worthy of consumption by my fellow man .. but they sell it to people with a grin on their faces ... these same people go home and feed their kids this corrupt meat .. not their fault .. but what can they do?

obviously this isn't all companies, some take care of their animals and methods of slaughter are humane ... it's just that we really don't know what's going on behind closed doors

That would be awesome but I wounder what it would be called then..."labagator","Lab-alligator" or "alligator 2.0"...One can only dream.

Just getting back from Outback Steak House after ordering a 16oz prime rib, I can safely say no I won't.

In real life? Oh my, no. I wouldn't last 20 minutes.

In Scott Pilgrim's universe, where it comes with phenominal psychic powers? Maybe, but I'd still probably screw it up eventually.

i would rather eat something with a fighting chance too ... i used to hunt with my dad years ago and like i said earlier

if we hunted our food, i would not be vegan right now ... and animal that has lived a full life in the wild then got killed quickly and cleanly by an ethical hunters bullet is good meat ... no hormones, no cages, no suffering.

but alot of the meat you see in your supermarkets today had no such thing as a fighting chance.

yeah, silent screamers or not ... we gotta eat something. most plants are ready to go ... if they aren't then the edible bits wouldn't be ripe (edible) would they?

like how apples drop from a tree

We are omnivores by nature so we need a balance of meat and vegetables. I don't see point of not eating animal by products. Milking a cow doesn't harm it in any way and we need calcium in our diets. Don't get me wrong I have strong opinions against animal cruelty but we need to survive and thats just how nature works, the predators kill and eat the prey.

not really, only eating creatures that dont scream or fight back doesn't make it any more righteous.
