According to a recent survey, 63% of Austrians surveyed were in favor of the introduction of laboratory meat in supermarkets. But a quick look at our forum reveals another trend. The authenticity of this research is highly doubted, as our readers do not know anyone who would eat the synthetic meat.
The opinion research institute YouGov, which interviewed a thousand people on behalf of the think tank Good Food Institute Europe, published figures that caused many Austrians to have doubts. According to readers’ own experiences, a rejection rate of 37% is too low. Nobody wants ‘too expensive artificial meat’ in front of them.
“I would immediately switch to laboratory meat!”
Some brave voices sided with lab meat. The idea isn’t that bad, we just have to be careful about a few things. Agriculture Minister Norbert Totschnig also warns against becoming “blindly dependent on a few large international companies when it comes to food.”
“How about we just eat less meat?”
But the issue of laboratory meat wouldn’t even be an issue if we didn’t have such a great need for meat. It would be the easiest way to reduce animal suffering and protect the environment.
Would you try laboratory meat? We look forward to further reports and opinions in the comments below!
