    This is going to be a huge divide between the demographic of people who typically care about what we eat (specifically the raw/organic food people and animal rights groups like PETA). On the Cobert Report a month or so back, the head of PETA advocated lab grown meat. PETA is burning bridges amongst this similar demographic with it's "sexy" ads that has raised a huge stir amongst feminist groups, who often are also vegetarian.

    Personally, I am not a fan of lab grown food. I still shop at places like Cub and Rainbow because it is cheaper than COOPs. But without legislation at least flagging products as "unnatural" or "lab grown", I fear that customers will unknowingly have no choice but to eat inorganic. With a lot of companies pushing organic food now (walmart, cub, etc), I suspect this is a fad and will quickly be replaced by the "lab grown fad" just as organic seemed to replace the atkins fad.

      Lab grown meat would solve a multitude of problems. The livestock industry is one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gases. This would also reduce the mono culture we have in many crop producing areas.
