Lab-grown meat can be halal and kosher

It always amazes me people think this being that created the universe cares what meat they eat.

It's also Vegetarian.

I'm glad to see lab-grown meat clear another hurdle. The better and more common this technology is, the closer we'll be to finally getting rid of the meat industry and factory farming.

Glad the OU certified this as kosher. This has been a big question in Jewish communities.

There's no Jewish or Islamic pope so what a lab-grown meat producer has to do is simply find a Imam or a Rabbi that will agree to say it's halal or kosher. They can pay them nice consulting fee for that. I've seen kosher light switches and cell phones before. Other Rabbis will say it's not actually kosher but everyone can choose which rabbi to follow.

I always think that lab grown meat is a weird idea why don't they just do something interesting why don't they do lab grown velociraptor. I want to eat a velociraptor please.

Or better yet go through the fossil record and find the tastiest animal, and then grow that.

There was once a thought experiment about whether a hypothetical potato containing a pig gene (to make it tastily fatty) would be halal and/or kosher. IIRC, because of the different philosophical bases of the two taboos, it would have been one but not the other, though I can’t remember which.

Wnere's the link?

IMO never thought too see science and religion in one sentence.

Applying religious ideology to scientific advancement is idiotic

The problem I have with artificial environment is that humans (and all life on Earth) evolved in natural environment trough many many years. Can we be so certain that artificial environment (food, cosmetics, ...) are not triggering undesired response, body trying to adopt to synthetic materials, what would be the outcome? I'm thinking about cancer, auto immune disease and similar.

We only observe consequences and for some it might take a lot of time to show, but then it might be too late to fix, or, fix in a hurry could make it even worse.

I always ask myself, for example, how long it took giraffe to develop long neck, why, and so on. It didn't happened in 100 years, 3 - 4 generations.

How many food is now labeled "unhealthy" that was "healthy" few years back, or even medicine, this recent anti congestion in Sudafed (I think). There are examples everywhere.

We should be more humble and less arrogant when trying to understand complexity of nature and its processes.

religious people are deranged

So many rules and hurdles to overcome just to stubbornly avoid eating plant-based foods.

These "experts" are crazy. How can it be kosher when it's not a naturally occurring meat?

This would be what the Bible calls an abomination. I'm not touching that stuff, it's gross!

Any meat can be halal and kosher as long as the person eating believes it is. The difference between halal meat and non-halal meat is nothing. It's all in the deranged persons mind.
