I'm super excited about it. It would solve all of the problems I listed above (and then some).

Probably not point 2. Lab grown meat would probably still need antibiotics.

I'd say probably not. It should be in a very controlled process.

Yeah, if anything is growing in the culture medium that isn’t part of the standard process that batch is waste. There are many, many more ways for growing anything relying on a bioreactor to go wrong than right.

No it would not. It is grown in a sterile environment.

Regular meat would have far more dangerous pathogens on it.

Why would that be?

I find that nauseating and gross. Maybe I'll change my mind if I've actually seen and tasted such a piece of "meat", but right now it's on the same level as Soylent for me.

I'm curious: What disgusts you about it? Assuming "meat is meat", is there a difference for you between "grown in a sunlit grassy field" vs "grown in simulated conditions"?

Going Further: in "Illegal Alien" by Robert J Sawyer, there is mention of "grown meat", basically meat "grown in and squeezed out of a tube" from a spaceship's bulkhead which crew-members slice out for personal consumption as needed during space flight. Would this also be disturbing?
