Hopefully, while not being harmful.
I can’t imagine it would be worse than traditional meat - no antibiotics, bits of bone, disease, etc. Bacterial contamination is the only concern I can think of, but that affects every category of food.
That's where my mind goes as well. I am more so talking about unforseen concerns. Don't get me wrong. As soon as it is widely available and affordable I will totoaly eat it, I just worry there might be something we are missing. It's kind of a human tradition.
I am certain that lab grown meat will be one of the most heavily scrutinized advancements in food technology probably ever. If there’s even a hint that something is wrong with it the news will be everywhere.
