For all of you that mention the benifit to the envoirnment: you are aware of how much water, energy and vegatation it takes to produce meat, right? If you're really concerned about the envoirnmental impact of eating meat, why bother with a compicated and seeming expensive lab-grown alternative? Why not just give up meat? I can't believe how attached you are to it - so much so that scientists are in a lab somewhere trying to grow meat in a vat while they could be trying to cure a disease or something a little more important (in my eyes).
The whole thing seems a bit weak to me. If eating regular cow meat is so bad (for any reason) that we need to start growing it in a lab, then doesn't it make more sense to just stop eating it since it isn't necessary? Lab meat seems like a waste of resources to me.
