That description bothers me. I don't go for engineered, overly processed food.

POLL: If the taste, texture, etc. of synthetic beef was identical to real beef, would you be willing to switch to eating it exclusively?

If no, why not?

there are some thoughts that herd and pasture animals do a good job to improve

I like it when people say harvest when they mean kill.

I understand your point. I guess I think of harvest as killing with some kind

StutterOfTheCougar

I prefer using the correct words and not pretending they are something else.

Sea Chicken

So then use the word slaughter.

That would be accurate too

I've heard people complain English has too many words that mean the same thing.

I killed the tomatoes and peppers in my garden to make salsa

I've hiked places that do and places that don't have cattle.

Eddie

2/16/21 11:31am

yes, they seem to do a lot of things to break up and aerate the soil as they

It would have to be the same price or cheaper.

JuicyJam

2/16/21 11:54am

Same cost? (I don't know what the current cost difference is if any.)

m0resn0w

2/16/21 11:10am

Yes. Same cost or cheaper.

Sea Chicken

2/16/21 11:10am

Well then...

m0resn0w

2/16/21 11:14am

Why not? No downsides in that case as long as it was more energy efficient to produce

Well...cows have to die to the stop the methane production.

Eddie

2/16/21 11:13am

If so, of course. But that’s a lot of if’s... some might say that’s impossible.

No for me, too processed and I prefer prime beef when possible

USMCdad

2/16/21 11:13am

For me its just the synthetic part... we aren't meant to eat synthetics.

(Private)

2/16/21 11:21am

You can argue we aren't meant to eat meat either.

Baron

2/16/21 11:23am

My canines and front facing eyes disagree with you... but sure we can argue.

(Private)

2/16/21 11:26am

That argument is clearly wrong

Pretorian

What do you prefer about it?

Eddie

2/16/21 11:22am

The processing involved, I prefer less processed food

USMCdad

2/16/21 11:58am

Fine - but then you are changing the "hypothetical".

Eddie

2/16/21 12:11pm

Reading fail: he said he prefers less processed foods AND ...

(Private)

2/16/21 12:17pm

Are you talking about your own reading fail?

Eddie

2/16/21 12:22pm

Yeah I shouldn’t have expanded on it, just stuck with process

USMCdad

2/16/21 12:47pm

Well that was my original answer, processed food isn’t my ideal

If it tastes the same, costs less, and it healthier then sure. I also eat about 30 oz of beef a year so i don't think

shimmy

2/16/21 11:15am

I know vegans who eat more beef than you do

USMCdad

2/16/21 11:18am

I guarantee I eat more eggs and chicken than any vegan you know.

How much quicker would it give us cancer?

Pretorian

2/16/21 11:20am

At the same rate as real beef.

Sea Chicken

2/16/21 11:24am

So are you asking if there are zero negatives, would you choose to stop killing

It's not a description it is a hypothetical.
