Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It’s the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.

Interested to hear from vegetarians if they would eat this? I assume vegans wouldn’t as they are made from animal cells.
I was a vegan. I’m definitely going to buy no kill meat. No animals harmed, no health risk, all meat. I’m sold.
They do use biopsies to extract the cells, so animals still need to be kept in captivity to supply this technology at scale. (Also not sure how painful those biopsies are 🤷♂️)
@demvoter I probably won’t. After I gave up meat, I discovered that’s it’s really just the base note of any meal it’s in. It doesn’t bring all that much to the party.
My one fear is that with no-kill meat becoming cheap and plentiful, it’ll be harder to get things like veggie patties that concentrate on flavor and texture rather than just being the same as the old stuff. I’m still hoping it becomes popular for the folks who never outgrew their cravings. It’s almost certainly going to become far lower carbon footprint than the traditional way.

Im vegan and I’ve been waiting for this since i stopped eating me. I can’t wait for it to be affordable and accessible
