Take the Clean Meat Poll!

Written by PETA

A lot of people had a lot to say about our recent offer of a million bucks to the first team of scientists who could produce commercially viable meat grown in a laboratory (clean meat). We’re deadly serious about this thing, as it could end the suffering of billions of animals in factory farms if it takes off—but we need to get an idea of the reservations people (both vegetarians and nonvegetarians) might have about eating meat that’s been produced in a lab. So if you have a moment, please take our Clean Meat poll and let us know where you stand. I’m kind of fascinated to see how this thing turns out.

I don't believe "clean meat" is a good idea. There are several reasons I don't think it's good. The first is I don't think meat eaters would make the switch. Meat eaters tend to pride themselves on eating meat. Because meat eaters have ridiculous beliefs like "real men" eat meat. I think meat eaters would view clean meat like they view soy meat. The second is most vegetarians would not eat it. PETA has all this information about how meat makes you fat and can cause heart disease why would anyone want to go back to eating meat even if animals didnt suffer for it. The third reason is that we don't know the effects it will have on our health in the long run. I try to eat healthy and one of the ways I do that is to not eat bioengeneered foods. I think that bioengenereed foods help a lot of people like in poor countries where people suffer from malnutrition they are able to get more nutrients and stuff from the genetically enhanced food But although it is helpful to some I dont want to put it in my body. Basically I don't believe that "clean meat" is going to keep animals from suffering. I dont know any meat eater who would switch to eating it. I think that education is the key way to ending animal suffering

Yes the poll needs more options. I would not eat it bc I enjoy my vegetarian diet and the thought of eating any kind of meat grosses me out now but I think it's a great crueltyfree option for those that do eat meat. The fact that it's not natural is a concern though.

Sooo they are still raising animals just for stem cells instead of slaughter. Or am I not understanding this? I don't trust any industry to raise animals to be treated humanely.

I marked 'no'... but only because the idea of eating flesh weirds me out. I've been a vegetarian since I was 3 years old so please don't take my 'no' as a vote of noconfidence in the product. I'm all for 'clean meat' as a subin for people who can't stop eating animals. It's an incredible alternative.

Going veg may not be an option in the future. With the ballooning human population and diminishing arable land we won't be able to spare 12 pounds of grain to produce 1 pound of beef. Clean meat may be a possible answer. If you're willing to accept a transplanted liver cloned from your own cells to save your life then you shouldn't be opposed to clean meat assuming of course you're even interested in eating meat in the first place.

I became a vegan for animals. That's the sole reason. So yes if I could eat meat that caused no suffering to any animalsI'd eat it.

"I kind of wish there were more questions to the poll because while I personally would not eat "clean meat" myself and thus had to answer no I do think it is a great idea for society in general and would suggest it to the people I know who do eat meat." Originally posted by Laura Yeah I'm the exact same way. But I feel that I'm giving negative feedback when I actually fully support it.

the mayority of people don't want to quit eat meat so I think this is a good idea they can eat clean meat like this the animals are going to have a better life and don't need to be killed for humans pleasure
