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.

It doesn't, but that makes great ad copy.

Sounds like there is....

Quote:From that point, you can either live with that or you can't. If you can, that's great for you, though I imagine it will become illegal once these new technologies will fully deliver on the goods they promise.
In that they can fully deliver synthetic meats sure, you're expecting other goods(and an impressive bill no less).  I think you'll be disappointed on -that- count. The synthetic meat itself is likely to be fantastic. Processed products, for all their flaws...are delicious and -can- be made to be more nutritious than what some might call "natural" products. If you think that producing livestock will become illegal, even if they could and did deliver on everything else you hoped for............I think that you're out of your mind.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
