Should the government allow the commercialization of lab-grown meat?

No, instead there should be a focus on holding breeders and slaughter-houses accountable for sustainable and ethical farming

Meat Department shouldn't be able to put out propaganda about so called health benefits of meat. Alternative proteins to meat should be promoted more

No. Australia thrives on the meat industry and we should instead invest in research to use cattle to assist agriculture (cycling land, fertilizer, etc.)

As long as quality control remains strictly regulated, as commercialization of lab grown meat will increase its availability, but at the cost of companies eventually trying to cut corners in production

Money should go toward more natural sustainable meat alternatives, before settling for an unsafe artificial foods.

We should invest in community farming and agriculture as opposed to artificially creating food, creating a society where community and Australians can support our population through our own labour rather than buying goods from overseas

It’s definitely a consideration but has the potential for disaster and health risks of contamination. However would possibly be a more sustainable resource but would also impact the agricultural community.

No instead encourage farmland ownership and remove the live export ban and stop taking farmland for renewable energy causes

Yes, as long as it's clear that it has been lab grown and that lab grown meat is stringently tested before release.

We need to ensure that it's safe to eat, and it's a good thing to do while we try to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from cows

Yes there should be more studies for safety and authentication. But it must be disclosed clearly on packaging and restaurant menus etc

Yes but with appropriate identification for lab-brown meats.

Use of lab-grown meat to curb hunger and poverty, not mass commercialisation.

yes, as long as all ways of cleaning and keeping the meat sanitary are kept in mind and taken seriously

Yes, but we need more long-term studies to ensure safety, and products with lab-grown meat need to prominently display that on packaging and restaurant menus

No, long term studies should be peer reviewed and then voted on first

Yes, this is necessary to prevent factory farms which allow animal cruelty.

Yes but it needs to be made clear as to what it is at the supermarket

No, study the long-term health effects first and then decide.

Considering potential health implications, would you prefer lab-grown meat over traditional if it was proven to be healthier? Why?

Yes, after more in-depth studies to ensure safety, and only if it is declared clearly on packaging and in restaurants

How would you feel about replacing traditional meat with lab-grown versions in your daily meals?

Yes, but we need more long-term studies to identify the effects it can cause in the community and on the human body. And the studies need to transparent. nothing hidden from the public about the progress.

What concerns might you have about the long-term impact of consuming lab-grown meat compared to traditional meat?

In terms of environmental impact, how significant do you believe switching to lab-grown meat could be for our planet?
