You may have read that recently the first lab grown burger was cooked and eaten.
BBQ Sauce
Now, I know there are a few vegetarians on here, [sarcasm]Inferno being one of them[/sarcasm] and my question is, would you eat this product?
My reasons for me being a vegetarian, as far as I am aware, are mainly ethical. I don't like the way animals are raised for food and I hate the conditions they are kept in. I justify the fact I'm not a vegan by only buying local farm products straight from the source, that way, I can see how the animals are treated.
Now, when I read this story my immediate reaction was "I still wouldn't eat it" which suggests one of two things. Either it's simply the idea of eating meat that I find wrong, and my ethical reasons are ad hoc justifications.
Or, I've not eaten meat for so long, that the whole thing just seems wrong by definition.
So, in short, as a vegetarian, would you feel comfortable eating lab grown meat knowing that it is completely ethical?
