I just can't get jiggy with lab-produced meat, something about it sounds off. I can't imagine it being good for you, I may be jumping to conclusuions, but if something is made in a lab I will assume it has dangerous chemicals and other things that are generally not conducive to our health. I'm not the biggest fan of meat, but I'd much rather eat natural meat than something grown in a lab. I think if we stop the mass production of meat and go back to small farms raising healthy animals it will ease the harm of meat. A lot of the bad parts of meat come from the additives, terrible living conditions, and hormones placed into the meat.

I think that's part of the current "ick factor" because it's not something we're used to, but I can't help but think that will fade over time
If we stopped the mass production of meat, it would become so expensive that you would probably stop buying it altogetther. Low-cost lab meat could be the answer to this. You don't need to worry about harmful chemicals, the meat is grown in a solution of nutrients that are completely healthy. The name 'lab' meat is a bit misleading, it just means it was developed in a lab, but it will be produced in a factory like every other processed food. Maybe they should call it 'cultured' meat or something.
