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.

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
@B4D84C66 days6D
No. Australia thrives on the meat industry and we should instead invest in research to use cattle to assist agriculture (cycling land, fertilizer, etc.)
@B3DX5S81mo1MO
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
@B3WPY254wks4W
Money should go toward more natural sustainable meat alternatives, before settling for an unsafe artificial foods.
@B3TRV694wks4W
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
@B3MLH2K1mo1MO
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.
@B37286F2mos2MO
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.
