    sure, when we get there, it should be labelled.... no need to regulate and burden them at this point when it's obvious; i'm good with effective and worthwhile regulation, but not for unnecessary regulation

    there is always willow bark (source of salicin, similar to aspirin, known as the precursor to modern pain relief chemicals/medicines)

    OMG! It finally happened! The USDA just left my house. They held me down and force fed me cicadas. They said they would be back at dinner time. I'm scared.

    As an Asian I see nothing wrong with eating bugs.

    Sure they will, people are in general ****ing morons.

    Label a thing what it is: beef is from cattle, eggs are from chickens, pork is from pigs, milk is debatable, etc....They're worried about "pork" next to actual pork with a little asterisk saying [manufactured in a lab by...blah blah...in one or more of these states...blah blah]

    I don't see why the labeling is a problem, and it's not yet, it's just the industrial producers trying to stop a thing before it becomes commonplace

    I made it through less than 1 minute before I started talking at the screen : "you don't have to eat farm raised salmon (or any farm raised seafood, they're all nasty)"

    I agree that there should be labeling to distinguish meat that required the slaughter of living animals and meat that didn’t.

    But which side is opposing such labels?

    Given all the other synthetic crap that can be sold in grocery stores, fake meat is the least offensive thing you can buy. This is just pandering to big agriculture and its sycophants.

    No joke. If people want to choose lab grown meat over slaughtered cows they should have the right to choose. What's his deal? People deserve the right to choose options on what they eat. Nobody is saying they want to ban real beef. Give people the right to choose.

    I agree it shouldn’t be banned but I still think it should be labeled clearly as such.

    anyway this is more virtue signalling. There is very little lab grown meat in the market and it is very expensive. It will still be years before this becomes widespread or affordable.

    It should definitely be labeled as such. I also believe the market will be low unless it's an affordable alternative.

    This company uses plants for their faux protein. https://www.newschoolfoods.co/

    Once these processes become cheap at scale, there will be a dash to find the most efficient taste/cost ratio that doesn't necessarily have health impacts in mind.

    Fast "fake" food...now with pink slime that mom used to make?

    tofu is ok but doesn’t taste anywhere like the real thing … guess this is more like that than the other co that starts from the actual component of the meat itself

    Getting steak without causing animals pain and ecological damage is a goal worth pursuing.

    I expect every one of these startups to have a taste profile that will be subtly different like pepsi and coke. Nutrition and health impacts could also wildly differ.

    The FDA has a difficult job ahead of them for classifying the differences.

    I'm not sure if people will care as much as the companies funding the research... right up until the moment someone discovers a complication, which can usually take decades after approval.
