It's okay especially if it's going to goto waste.
But it's just a habit like tv or coffee-people are rarely aware of it as a drug.

I'm a vegetarian myself and, yes, I do think the rest of society should be vegetarian.
As for synthetic meat, I have no ethical objection but I would be wary about consumption. The food is untested and it is not known how it will interact with the body.
edit: I meant the truth about synthetic meat and the meat industry in general.

Originally posted by karoly aczelYes, I am quite horrified at the treatment of cattle we import into Australia from places like Indonesia. The meat industry is only concerned for profit-margins. Ethical dilemmas are no trouble to them.

The issue was how (some of) the abbatoirs there killed the animals we sent there.

So if meat is no longer murder, is it ok to eat?
others, the fact that it has as its basis animal cells may be enough to dissuade them.
Some people dont eat animal fats of any description, even in confectionery and stuff.
In my wife's country when one goes to buy a chicken, one picks it out from a cage, the
butcher then proceeds to cut its head off with a large knife. He puts it in a stone box
immediately afterwards so that the blood drains. He then very dexterously skins and
cuts it up and hands it to you in a bag, still warm. I suspect if many had to buy their
chicken this way, they may become vegetarians.
