As a thinking experiment, let us consider that on the 1st of January of 2025 it is announced that an advance making possible growing any kind of animal tissue in laboratory conditions as been achieved and that it is possible to scale it in order to achieve industrial grade production level.

There is no limit on which animal tissues can be grown, so, any species is achieveable, only being needed a small cell sample from an animal to start production, and the cultivated tissues are safe for consumption.

There won't be any perceiveable price change to the end consummer, as the growing is a complex and labour intensive process, requiring specialized equipments and personnel.

Would you change to this new diet option?

Sure. Custom meat, without the unnecessary parts sounds great.

Why not?

Of course not, I want my food to suffer.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Why not giving the food a fighting chance, then?

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Sounds good

[–] MxRemy@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Sure, why not? I don't eat meat currently but I'd prolly throw in a lab burger or two occasionally if they were available

You asked this question in all seriousness but all I can hear is:

Crickets

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

The smell of the critters is enough to make my skin crawl.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

100% yes.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Yes.

No, I'll stick to my delicious plants. I don't really like meat.
