Lab Meat Would Sidestep ‘Grossly Inefficient’ Livestock Industry.

"Though human life has changed much over a few hundred thousand years,
the drive to kill and eat other animals lingers on from our earliest
days.
But with technology transforming so many other aspects of daily life,
will feedlots and slaughterhouses someday go the way of stone tools
and cave dwellings? They may if scientists succeed in their
experiments in culturing meat — muscle tissue grown in a laboratory
dish. Supporters of the experiments see cultured meat as a way to end
environmental degradation, not to mention addressing ethical qualms
about eating animals."
http://www.innovationnewsdaily.com/1...rown-meat.html


Related to this is that it is possible for humans to survive on just
the chemical forms of the proteins, amino acids, etc. making up our
food:

Synthetic Food.
"If you thought food pills were bad, at least you never had to deal
with the horror of purely synthetic food. As part of a space
experiment in 1965, twenty four men volunteered to be fed nothing but
a food made from pure chemicals for nineteen weeks. I should say that
that twenty four men started, but only fifteen finished. No, the
other nine didn't starve to death. The experiment proved quite
successful from a medical point of view and everyone who finished was
perfectly healthy. It had more to do with the fact that the "food"
wasn't even as solid a meal as a pill."
"It was syrup. Looked like weak corn syrup. Tasted like weak corn
syrup."

Oh, so you're just a hypocrite then....


I was a vegetarian for a number of years, for health reasons. I've
since given it up, but I still eat a lot less meat than the average
American and I make sure that very little of that is red meat. So far,
that (combined with moderate exercise) has kept my blood pressure and
cholesterol levels where my doctor wants them so I don't have to be put
on medication that can have undesired side effects.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of vegetarians who are just completely
irrational about the issue. In my book, killing a cow, pig, chicken, or
fish is not the moral equivalent of killing a human being. On top of
that, humans are not the only animals on the planet who eat meat.
Eating meat fits into the natural order of things quite nicely.

And finally, every farmer and hunter I know tries to make sure that the
animal is killed quickly and as painlessly as possible. On top of that,
they all try to use as much of the animal as possible. There are
doubtless exceptions to this (PETA loves it when they find those
exceptions and try to paint entire industries with that brush), but
that's not been my experience when dealing with individuals.

Leather without hair somehow isn't nearly as evil as leather with the
hair attached.

I recall skimming a book years ago that was arguing that humans weren't
meant to eat meat. Among the things it pointed out were comparisons of our
teeth and the length of our alimentary system. What was silly was, using
the very numbers the book itself provided, it pretty much showed we had
evolved somewhere between being a pure carnivore and a pure herbivore. Gee,
it was almost like our system was built to be able to handle a bit of both.
Gee... imagine that.


So the book didn't really do a good job of supporting its own thesis.

There are many things which fit in the natural order; that does
not make them necessarily correct.

That's disgusting. Why not simply eat real food?
