If lab-grown meat is to be commercialised, chattle farmers need to be subsidised in order to convert to arable farming.
@9ZW5DMK3wks3W
Investment into natural unprocessed food to make it more accessible to lower income families is far more important.
@9MLXW347mos7MO
Yes, as long as the sector is regulated as with the food and agriculture industries.
@9ZF5GD51mo1MO
If there are no health concerns with the specific meat products added to the market, I see no issue with it.
@9YLLZZK1mo1MO
We're not there yet, but thought also has to be given to what this will do to already existing industries.
@9S5TD224mos4MO
No, and should be encouraging the creation and refinement of plant-based alternatives
@9NWX4CX6mos6MO
Only in the case where there is a massive food shortage to an extent everyone is a ak risk from dying from starvation in the near future.
@9NPR5D87mos7MO
Only if the lab-grown meat is required to meet the same safety and regular inspection requirements as medication
