I'm really hoping that lab grown meat will be available soon. I have a weird genetic issue where my body doesn't like to absorb certain vitamins from food so I get basically nothing from raw veggies, negligible amounts from cooked veggies, and a tiny bit more from meat, eggs and dairy.
I take prescription vitamins, but according to my Dr I need to eat meat/animal products with them or risk going into a deficiency again... the last time I was deficient I had seizures and serious neurological issues.
I hate the meat industry and factory farming, but also want my brain to function and to not have seizures.
Lab grown meat will solve this dilemma for me.
I also have severe malabsorption and can't process most veg at all. I have been told hundreds of times that I am lying, and that I don't need to eat meat. To some of these people it is better for us to suffer than to eat meat, while they claim to subscribe to a philosophy of reducing suffering.
Yeah, it's frustrating to say the least.
If I went vegan I'd probably suffer a very slow, agonizing death from my brain going haywire and seize until I go into psychosis and die. If my body could take it I'd probably be a vegetarian and eat only local eggs and cheese, but it's a bad idea according to my doctor. It sucks.
Dam, man, that sucks. Hey, quick question, if they made lab grown human meat, would you try it?
Grown from my own cells? Fuck yes.
What about someone else's? My body sucks I don't want to eat any part of it
With consent, and with cells from someone I know/love - Sure!
what's wrong babe? you've barely even touched your cannibal steak.
Idk if it would be better or worse if I knew who it was from.
This is how you get prions...
Absolutely! I'm hoping it's available soon since it's more ethical than my current options.
Edit - missed the human part lmao. I would probably try it if it hurt no one and was offered to me
