Eat Lab-Grown Food, It's Good for the Planet!

Lab-grown meat and insects 'good for planet and health':

Dining on the likes of lab-grown meat or ground-up insects could lead to big savings in carbon emissions and water, as well as freeing up land for nature.

That's the finding of a study calculating the environmental benefits of "greener" foods hitting our plates.

Scientists say pressures on the planet could fall by more than 80% with such foods, compared with the typical European diet.

But it's not yet clear if consumers will want to shift their eating habits.

Yet another article about how lab-grown meat is good for you and good for the planet so you really should eat it. But yet somehow nobody appears to be wanting to eat it. Do the people that write these papers eat it? More then for testing? There is the usual yuck factor involved considering that some of the yummy foods suggested are ground-up flies and crickets. Then various forms of lab-grown cells (chickens, eggs, milk, meat and berries (cause apparently berries are no longer from plants?)). The usual seafood stuff like various forms of seaweed and algae, which people already eat so I don't even know why this is included.

Will people get over the yuck by pricing? I doubt this will take off until the time when this stuff becomes so ridiculously cheap they more or less are giving it away. Cause there is no way I'm paying meat prices for fake-meat. When will you start to eat lab-food-stuffs?
