I have doubts about whether it would be just as healthy as the meat we eat right now.

I think it would be too expensive and not worth the cost of production.

I think it would be strange, to say the least. Unnatural. I can't imagine eating something grown in a lab.

The fact of the matter is, I repeat, this form of vitro meat would/will be identical to "natural" meat, except for the fact that you can actually manipulate it to be even better, by adding certain kinds of beneficial fats to it, for example.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

For the record, I didn't have a problem reading Rhythm's post about the problems facing ranchers. Found it a little odd, because the longhorn ranches here all have between twenty and a hundred head, ops, a scale which would seem to be even more fraught with risk. Maybe they raise 'em for the boutique markets or simply as a hobby?

Yes, and they have already had tasters taste it. It tastes the same, apparently. We'll have to wait and see for ourselves, however.

My problem with his posts is that they came out of left field.
