The problem with GMO foods and “Frankenfoods” is that we don’t know yet what the impact will be on human health. We do know the impact on antibiotics and hormones used in producing animals for food created antibiotic resistance and obesity, and there has been a significant increase in humans with food allergies. If a tomato has been GMO modified with fish to reduce spoilage from farm to table, and someone is allergic to the fish gene used but doesn’t know the tomato contains that gene, they may have an allergic reaction that they had no way of avoiding.
Soy products have been shown to potentially have a link with breast cancer and impacts estrogen. Some people are allergic to nuts or beans or other legumes used in fake meat products. We need to be really careful about modifying or manufacturing or manipulating food items to make sure they don’t impact human health or environmental health. Often we don’t find out the health impacts until decades later, and often companies often ignore or suppress those findings when they will negatively impact the food industries bottom line

The fake meat will never touch the lips of the governor. It's meant for us guinea pigs....

This almost fake meat sounds disgusting. Yuck!!!

Look at what the Mayor of Boston has come up with so that Boston can grow it's own food!!! And, she's going to fund this effort and the salaries of those who work to take part in this project. Cities can feed themselves and Boston is about to prove it.

People need to stop eating meat. They need to get over this disgusting habit even if it is made in a lab.

Who wants to eat something made in a lab? Food is supposed to be grown outside under the sun! Hello?

Giving people lab grown meat only keeps them wanting meat as a source of protein, like the protein based burger meat sold (sometimes) in health food stores like Edge of the Woods.

Meat based diets are one of the biggest polluters with animal shit, grazing, using up water, making lakes of pig shit etc. It is plain wrong to raise/ animals in the way the corporate world does today.

Yes, if you live in a place where eating meat is a necessity, that's fine...

There are plenty of non meat ways to get the protein you need. But. whoa! This could take some thinking.

Your body does not care what you get your protein as long as it is complete protein (beans and rice, eggs, etc.) your body can use it and as long as you get the required amount everyday.

Eating meat for the majority of people in this country is not necessary and would probably improve the health conditions of many overweight people who have big guts who mindlessly stuff down a burger, fries and a coke.

Not eating meat and focusing on a all-round healthier diet MIGHT make people more educated and less obese.
Obesity is a major health problem in the U.S. and a meat-based diet is one of the big contributors.

I have not eaten meat since 1977 and I'm am still here! The numbers from my annual exam are proof that a plant-based diet is superior to a meat-based diet.

Get over it people. Grow up. Learn how to eat the superior diet, a plant-based, diet with protein coming from foods non-meant sources.

Yes.
Let's have everyone be required to join 'the union'.

'the union' will tell you what to eat, & when, what to wear on your face, & when, who to vote for.........

USA, or Russia/China/Brazil/Venezuela??

Just askin'.

@unionYes, I've been eating méat since 1958 and I'm still here too.

HC,
Not all things grown in a lab are genetically modified.
UY,
There's a lot of upside to the goal of lab produced meat. You take away animal welfare issues, arable land use issues, methane production issues, and energy squandered in transportation issues. It doesn't really matter if people continue to like the taste of meat (whether lab grown animal protein or plant protein)... if you remove the environmental penalties its good for everyone.

Yes. Keep eating those highly-processed food things. It's the best thing you can do for your body. Ed's/meds/deads

Connecticut still has a few local sources of meat which are not raised in an industrial manner, with industrial cruelty. My brother buys from a guy in Old Lyme or Saybrook who comes to New Haven farmers' markets. Bishops in Guilford sells beef from Saltmarsh Farms in Guilford, or one can buy directly from the farmer, Mr. Page. There are numerous CSAs available. My niece, who has chickens for their eggs, says anyone willing to slaughter and butcher chickens can get lots of meat for free. (The best chick sexers are only about 90% accurate, so lots of folks who want only hens get some roosters. Plus, many folks don't want post-menopausal hens.)

robn- that’s why I said GMO and Frankenfood.
Frankenfood is foods manipulated and altered by science so as to be significantly altered from the original plants and animals grown and harvested in its natural state.
Not to be confused with more natural age old farmer’s techniques of grafting plants or cross pollinating or cross breeding or breeding animals for desired traits.
If your great, great grandmother or grandfather could not have grown, bred, harvested or ate it, then it there is a good chance it has been altered by science in some manner.
