Lab-grown meat is produced by culturing animal cells and could serve as an alternative to traditional livestock farming. Proponents argue that it can reduce environmental impact and animal suffering, and improve food security. Opponents argue that it may face public resistance and unknown long-term health effects.

Money should go toward more natural sustainable meat alternatives, before settling for an unsafe artificial foods.
@B3TRV692wks2W
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
@B3MLH2K3wks3W
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.
@B3DX5S84wks4W
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
@B37286F1mo1MO
No instead encourage farmland ownership and remove the live export ban and stop taking farmland for renewable energy causes
@B2BL8W5 3mos3MO
Yes, as long as it's clear that it has been lab grown and that lab grown meat is stringently tested before release.
@9XCNXDG5mos5MO
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
@9WV5Y6Z5mos5MO
Yes there should be more studies for safety and authentication. But it must be disclosed clearly on packaging and restaurant menus etc
