In case you don’t make it to the end of that (accidently) very long post…check out the very cool virtual taste test comparing lab meat to meat in situ (i.e. obtained in the usual manner)
OK, now to the grading 🙂

Just wanted to say that the previous post was very interesting, and while I think it didn’t convince me not to eat meat, I surely will feel guilty the following few days.
Then I guess that as a pescevegetarian, the question that arises would be: is fish (or all seafood, really) considered to be “meat”?
And also, if the reason why some folks are vegetarian is because of the suffering of animals used for consumption, can fish really be considered as such due to the fact that fish may not have the ability to feel pain? Because if that’s the case where fish can not feel pain, shouldn’t vegetarians who don’t eat meat for the reason above also be able to eat fish? (just throwing a couple of questions onto the table.. fish is very debatable, though, is it not?)
Anyhoo, the lab engineered meat seems kind of gross at this point. Maybe in a few years, it’ll be better?
LOL! Fine, I’ll change it just because you had it first, you big baby 🙂
Hi Tanasije,
Yeah, sadly people often know what morality requires and then fail to do it….a vexing philosophical problem…
Hi E.J., thanks for the comment and the question!
You raise an important question…Check out this post on fish and pain where I talk a little about this…the basic idea is that there is some evidence that some kinds of fishes do feel pain…
