Islamic scholars consulted by a leading producer of cultivated meat say that the newfangled protein — which is grown from animal cells and doesn’t require animals to be slaughtered — can be halal, or permissible under Muslim law.
And the Jewish Orthodox Union this month certified a strain of lab-grown chicken as kosher for the first time, “marking a significant step forward for the food technology’s acceptance under Jewish dietary law,” as the Times of Israel put it.
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!
It is naturally occurring though; it’s just cultivated artificially.
“cultivated artificially” - you just said it. If it’s artificial it’s not natural.
I choose to obey God. You need to make your own decision but be aware that hell is a real place. You don’t want to go there, trust me.
Well it’s like saying a house plant grown from a cutting isn’t naturally occurring. It is naturally occurring, it just wouldn’t naturally occur that a clipping is put in its own pot and cultivated. So, sorry, but I didn’t just say that.
You’re not as knowledgeable as you think you are.
Who said I thought I was knowledgeable? I’m telling you that according to God, this is wrong. Don’t eat it
Yeah, last I checked, God hadn’t made an official statement on lab-grown meat. I must’ve missed that press release.
Yes it does. There are very specific commands for what food you can and cannot eat.
Also there are many commands that tell you not to mess with creation:
In all these commands the principle is to not mess with the naturally created order of things.
Therefore GM food if is an abomination. As is lab grown meat because this is not the naturally created order. Meat is only to be obtained from killing a clean animal who was naturally born and raised (no clones or lab grown animals)…
Do you also object to corn? Bananas? Because we engineered those as well and they look nothing like the plants “God” made.
I’m half-convinced you can’t be for real and are trolling for attention. But I’m also from the Bible Belt and know you could be dead serious.
The Bible isn’t an ad for health food, at no point does it say “natural is good”.
Yes it does. There are very specific commands for what food you can and cannot eat.

Humanity is of nature therefore our deeds are of nature
Is it, or did you just cherry pick a few of the hundreds or thousands of rules in the priestly books that support your point? And honestly I don’t see how mixing textiles or seeds is unnatural in any way. Have you ever seen a big block of monoculture in the wild?
The natural order is changing all the time though. Gender is a hot topic these days where people feel they should be able to be anything they want. I don’t agree with that, and usually gets downvoted, because it’s not an allowed opinion to have. Some people think it’s even hateful to prefer limiting genders to man and female.
So what is the natural order of things… If we go by these books, nothing will ever change. Is that a good thing?
About a beard, you can also argue that the natural smell of the human body should not be hidden by perfume because the smell is just natural.
So it’s interesting to think about these things.
Lab meat is genetically indistinguishable from “naturally occurring” meat.
I don’t care. God never created it that way. He made animals. You kill a clean animal which was naturally born by its parents and that you can eat.
Not this fake meat.
