I think a lot of people are willfully ignorant about what is in their food. Ready meals are flavoured with chemicals some fast food is made from bits of animals no one would dream of eating is seen “in the flesh”. And TV shows where celebrities throw up eating what for some is everyday food, shows how limited some plates have become.
Well not mine, I don’t use a microwave ‘ready meals’ and I cook from scratch with ingredients I have got fresh.
I just don’t know if I could replace meat I ue now with lab grown meat =/
hehehhe!
We live in a world where people actually believe that pizza is grown
and that people that kill for meat are horrible.. after all why don’t they just buy meat from the supermarkets like everyone else?
Isn’t meat grown anyway? just on the bones of a innocent lamb that baa’s happilly? ;)
Its just your conceptions - nothing more!
Besides - if you ever eat at mcdonalds you aren’t eating real meat anyway. This vat-grown meat might actually be better for you ;)
That said, my conceptions also balk at it slightly… - but some things are still worthwhile! If only it were going to be used for the greater good, rather than for money…
/sigh
How about the eggs that aren’t really eggs - powered made up eggs, i think they use. .
I think its absolutely brilliant.

I guess what I mean is that eating meat is natural, we are living off what we are suppose to live off.
We eat meat and veg because our bodies need a balanced diet, humans have eaten meat of animals since the beginning of consciousness and I guess I just don’t like the unnatural element to growing meat in a dish in a lab.
Maybe that is how veggies think, that it is unnatural to eat meat, who knows but I just can’t wrap my head around that.
Basically, I eat whatever tastes good, although, I have been unable to eat much the last few days (another story), so if this grown meat tastes good then I suppose I will eat that to.
Maybe it will be introduced to the market shelves gradually so no one knows, for all we know we could all be eating lab grown meat already because I am not someone that goes out and kills an animal myself and I don’t ever question the meat I buy and where it came from, it could be lab meat for all I know.
Well, I was a ‘vego’ for some years and if you think about it, eating something (such as meat) that is ‘dead’ is not very appealing, especially if we want to feel ‘alive’.
Consider how you feel after you eat a big fat juicy steak? Do you feel light and ready to go? Do you feel heavy and ready to chill out on the lounge for hours in front of the box? Now consider how you feel after a big fresh wholesome salad, freshly bought from your local fruit and veg shop?
Which meal makes YOU feel more ‘alive’ - the dead meat or the live fruit/vegetables? Just something to ‘chew’ over :)

I am a carnivore but it doesn’t mean I just it meat and that is it.
I love salads but they don’t fill you for long, they have a rather low GI rate which means they are not slow releasing so you don’t stay full for very long.
I like meat because I feel like I have actually eaten, I don’t ever eat so I don’t get that heavy feeling and as I said, I cook from scratch so no unwanted chemicals and additives go into my food.
After meals I am fine and if I have eaten a balanced meal I stay full for longer and have more energy to get on do things.
I think a salad is nice to have once in a while, like for a light lunch or something in summer when the heat gets to much and cooking would just knock you out but I wouldn’t class it as something I or anyone could live on and stay healthy.
Humans need the whole range or foods from meat to veg, fish, dairy, bran etc.
So even I as a carnivore wouldn’t stay healthy for long if I just ate meat and nothing else, I am not ignorant in that side of things and I know that someone can not live very healthy without meat in their diets but I do know that it can be replaced, I know there are supplements and other veg that so add the same as meat into your body but I do also know that you need alot more of it than meat and more often.
My brother was a veggi for about 5 years, he was a crap veggi because he ended up in hospital because of he white blood count or something and in the end they told him he had to eat meat to get better… I had to lol at that because he was a veggi preacher at the time.
Well tonight was lemon chicken. It was strips of lean chicken breast with loads of veg. (more veg than chicken) bean shouts, carrot, water chestnut, baby corn = yum!
I guess here in Aust.we can eat loads of salads because of this stinking heat. The last thing you want to do when you come home from work is turn that oven on….that’s more for winter. Yes, you are right, balanced meal - great!
you’re an omnivore My Queen! ;) - not a carnivore

Sounds nice, see that is fine, you don’t need to go all crazy with ten tons of meat on your plate, just enough to enhance the taste without taking over the whole dish.

I am not sure how disturbed I am or if I am.
I just read a news article about scientists using stem cells to go on to create the first artificial meat.
Basically, meat that never lived that you can eat and still be meat.
Now, I am a pure carnivore but my stomach still turned a little at the thought of eating something that was meat but was grown so, I want to know, how many would have no issue with eating a burger that came out of a lab and also, how many vegetarians would start eating meat now that the meat was never alive nor killed?
Here is the link incase you don’t quite believe me ;)
