While this technology is becoming mainstream, those of us that are okay with it should understand there is something fundamentally "icky" for some people. Which is difficult to debate rationally.

This is partly the fault of Sci-fi, bio-engineering is rarely shown as a positive in TV and Film.

This will be mostly solved with time, eventually it may become economically unviable to buy "field meat" (not sure what the term will be), and it will become a lot more accepted when they see the people around them enjoying it without severe consequences.




I'd be extremely curious to see a lot of these people be presented with the bioreactor and the live cow, and pick which one they're going to eat.

"Icky" is ignorance.
