All the vegetarians I know are doing it for ethical reasons, so I pose this question to you: Would you eat test tube meat? Confused... Read about it here: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/04/invitro_meatPersonally, I have no problem with meat. It's the way it's always been. Most meat consumed are from domesticated animals that wouldn't have been raised at all if no one wanted to eat meat. Like my music teacher once said (she's farm girl at heart): A pig would make a mighty expensive pet. I personally think the situation is a bit simular to the abortion of babies with genetic defeats (yes, I make the most bizzar connections). Do you deny the animals a chance at life even though you know their life would be flawed? But on the other hand, everyone can benefit from eating a bit less meat. It would help the environment (meat production has a giant ecological footprint), people would be healthier and countries would save money on healthcare. Even as someone who eats meat I wouldn't eat test tube meat...
