True but the cow could have anthrax, brucellosis, cryptosporidiosis, dermatophilosis, Escherichia coli, giardiasis, leptospirosis, listeriosis, pseudocowpox, Q fever, rabies, ringworm, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, vesicular stomatitis and of course mad cow disease.Just the one ingredient in beef... I checked.

I have a lot of respect for those who chose to be vegan/vegetarian for moral reasons.
I agree. I have a few vegetarians in my life and they wouldn’t touch this.Yes, so we should, in fact whatever the reason.
However I just cannot get my head around why the World needs a burger that looks and tastes like meat but isn't.
I'm not the only person who loves meat but not slaughter
I wonder if "non carnivores" worry about vegetables when they cut the roots off, so denying it of nutrients to live...surely I'm not the only person who loves meat but not slaughter?

It's kind of impossible to have one without the other..?
To me it seems the answer to my problem - meat is delicious but could I hit that bunny over the head with a rock? Not sure, in all honesty. That makes me a complete fool morally speaking, because I would be ok with someone else doing it for me!I have just finished watching the Carnivore Conference Q&A session. In it the topic of cellular protein (laboratory grown) comes up. I am happy to eat animals but some of the processes involved in the manuctacture of lab grown protein are truly abhorrent imo and I cannot envisage anyone, vegan, vegi or meat eater who would happily and knowingly eat the end product. I know this is a bit of a derailment but I agree with @WuTwo in that sometimes although we may not be able to explain things they just feel wrong.
I will not post the link to the Q&A here as I would not want to upset anyone but if you research lab grown meat I think you will find that it is not without it's own slaughter.To me it seems the answer to my problem - meat is delicious but could I hit that bunny over the head with a rock?

I'm really not ok with what I know about animal farming these days - yet still want to eat meat. Lab grown meat seems like a good solution (forgive the pun).
Hmm ok I will need to check that out - I was thinking it was possible to culture tissue from living hosts.I will not post the link to the Q&A here as I would not want to upset anyone but if you research lab grown meat I think you will find that it is not without it's own slaughter.
It is how they come by the living host and how that host is maintained that upset me.Hmm ok I will need to check that out - I was thinking it was possible to culture tissue from living hosts.
Ah... yes I could be stuck with the same problem in that sense but I would hope that the situation would be different.It is how they come by the living host and how that host is maintained that upset me.
Yes, I think it's a puzzle rather than an argument, and the puzzle is unique to each of us.In my opinion something must die for something else to live. Even plants are feeding off animals and other plants. Not sure what people think soil is made of. But that’s the viewpoint I take that allows me to be comfortable eating animals. I do understand why others feel differently. Ultimately, given the choice between eating a slaughtered lamb, or a lamb chop grown in the laboratory, I’m going to choose the one that had four legs.
To me personally, lab grown meat is the ultimate human hubris and we will reap the consequences in the future, just as we are doing now after introducing sugar and bird seeds into our diets because we think we know better than nature. In a battle of wits between man and the universe, the universe is going to win. Every single time.
