I love meat, but generally eat a vegetarian diet when cooking at home and have fish/meat when eating out. Having a real meat alternative would mean less of an impact on the environment, so is a definite plus.
Wow the mind boggles. As a veggie this is confusing for me. I am for moral reasons, yet I love the taste of meat. But yet it still doesn’t seem right. I can’t imagine the taste could match up as so many factors decide on meat tasting good, the animals breeding, the food they eat, the way their body/carcus was hung, how the meat is stored. This also brings about another question for muslims, would this meat be considered Halal? If so, the awful problem of live export could be solved.
I would choose this over a live animal any day if it spares their life. I do have meat cravings sometimes and I should eat it for health reasons but I’m not comfortable with the thought of animals being slaughtered for my meal. Sounds like a perfect solution.
No, thanks…. Soon, we will be offered synthetic meat burger with OMG sweetcorn and over processed vegs that keep their colour and taste of cola to appeal to the kids. I would rather eat two free range eggs than a lab grown chicken
This is utter bollocks! We (except those namby pamby veggies out there) have all been eating perfectly good farmed meat for ages. I don’t approve of intensive measures, but free range meat is fine and, despite what the Green lobby says, is perfectly harmless to the environment.

No thanks. I dont see the point to be honest. There are plenty of meat alternatives as it is; this is just one more.

I was afraid this article was suggesting Labrador burgers…. the actual subject was no less appetizing! It would not appeal to me at all….
