Reply #7: As a vegan, I'll fess up to "It's Complicated."

My reasons for going vegetarian were three-fold: Ethics, environment, and health. In-vitro meat dramatically reduces the environmental impact, and at least puts an interesting twist on the ethical argument. But I'm not convinced that my health would improve by eating in-vitro meat.

After almost 20 years on a vegetarian diet, I don't have a meat-shaped hole in my diet that I feel the need to fill. I feel great, I'm in great health (for a lazy cube-rat), and all of my medical tests come back with great results, year after year. (Knock wood. )

So would I, personally, eat in-vitro meat? Probably not.
But would I keep it in the fridge, cook it, and serve it to guests? Hmmmmmm.
