I predict by 2025 we could start to see the majority of our meat in supermarkets being grown in labs. The technology is developing fast and the price to produce a pound has come WAY down. Would vegans start to eat meat again knowing it was lab grown? Would anyone here object to eating it?
Nope..meat is meat..and the benefits to the environment would be a plus. Just the thought of being able to stop maintaining huge herds..the benefit of using arable land for human crops..to me make it a no-brainer.
The whole 'franken-foods' thing..is just propaganda from an industry that sees this for the existential threat that it isl

If it tastes the same, it would make no difference to me.

For those who already eat meat, it isn't that hard to make a decision whether yes or no.
For vegetarians, I think it's a tricky one. Your philosophy is that you are eating meat when it's acquired after taking the life of an animal.
So here you go, meat without an animal being killed. Are you going to eat it now?

It depends on why the person became a vegetarian. If it was for ethical or environmental reasons, they might consider it. If it was for health reasons, they might still have some of the same issues with it.
I don't think this will ever catch on. We have people protesting at schools because they don't want GMO foods served to kids. How will they accept an entirely artificial food source. They don't want corn served, and now you want them to accept meat cloned from an animal. I watched a documentary about this a long time ago, I wish I could remember the name. Some scientists in Europe were trying to develop animals that were born without a brain, for food production. Think of a warehouse with thousands of brainless animals hooked up to life support. They were fed intravenously. Nothing going through the gut to produce methane. If an animal was never "alive", is it unethical to eat them? That was what they were getting at. Here the process is different, they just need a starter culture to "grow" animal protein.

"Hunger is the best sauce."
This will catch on because our resources are dwindling and our populations..world-wide are growing. I think that along with 'vat-meat' will be yeast grown proteins..edible fungi...edible algae.
Our arguments about GMO's and the like..are the arguments of a rich, over-fed society with a plethora of choices.
