Great idea, horrible way to describe it. Why would describe something you made as "mass produced meat", it just sounds disgusting and something that would make anyone off on it.

Geneticallly Modified foods are killing us? Maybe but so is real meat. Look up the link between red meat consumption and colon cancer.
Also aren't sausage and ham genetically modified?
I'm not flaming btw, I eat meat myself I just try and limit my intake.

Firstly, these studies literally nothing and you took them completely out of context.
Red meat is only harmful if you eat it every single day or you eat above the recommended amount. That's like me telling you not to drink water because you might drown, which by the way, if you drink six litres of water within an hour then you will almost certainly die because your kidneys wont be able to filter it so it will release the water into your blood causing your blood to swell which causes death.
Aslong as you don't eat a crazy amount of meat then you should be perfectly fine. Anything is dangerous if you take too much of it. That's the idea of a balanced healthy diet. To not eat too much of one thing and to eat different foods in proportion to each other.
Red meat such as beef, lamb and pork can form part of a healthy diet. But eating a lot of red and processed meat probably increases your risk of bowel (colorectal) cancer..
That's why the Department of Health advises people who eat more than 90 grams (cooked weight) of red and processed meat a day to cut down to 70 grams.
Red meat is a good source of protein and provides vitamins and minerals, such as iron and zinc
As far as ham and sausages go, yes. Some sausages and ham have added things to make them look better and to help with their production. These things are clearly detailed on the packet though and it's not as if they're trying to hide them and pretend as if it's not true. Every farmer/producer is different in the methods they use though and I can't say the same for them all. If you don't feel comfortable with this then you can simply just avoid sausages and ham.
Sausage and Ham. Genetic engineering is often used in the production of sausage and ham. Many additives commonly found in sausage and ham are often produced using methods involving genetically modified microorganisms. For example:
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is used to prevent oxidation, stabilising the colour of sausage.
Glutamate is used to enhance flavour.
Enzymes (proteases) can make meat more tender and improve aroma. They can also be used to help separate meat residues from bones.
I don't mean to be offensive or anything and this is just a response. It sounds like a quite a flaming reply but I didn't mean it to come off that way.

I would have to try the meat before purchasing anything like this. My main concerns would be if it would taste how it should (yes I know people's cooking can change a taste, but you should be able to see if there's just a different taste.) I would also be curious if it would give the nutrients it's supposed to. Then comes the concern of what else is going to put in the animal(s) for the meat. The animals may not be killed anymore on the scale they are now, but what are they going to put in them? It's not something I would jump on as soon as it comes out, I would wait a while to do some research and then do a taste test before even thinking about buying it. If it keeps the taste, the nutrients and if eventually the animals aren't pumped full of whatever, nothing becomes GMO, then perfect; however I would still buy things like eggs and fish from the store. If this came out, I would imagine there would eventually be stores selling tissue or fluids of animals so you don't have to raise your own at home lol.

Your stupid vegans still wont eat this, this is for the people that refuse to stop eating meat but care about animals so they don't have to cause harm/ murder to animals

Oezil wrote Why eat lab made meat when you can eat real meat?
Many reasons, the foremost of which is a new strain of pathogen resistant to our best available antibiotics. You see, our antibiotics break down the biotics of cells and disrupt the metabolism of them (hence antibiotics). But through natural selection and evolution they develop immunity to this. Once immunity is developed, it's very easily transmitted from one cell to another.
At any given time, we house more than 30 billion animals in our global meat monopoly.
Most of these disgusting corporations keep their livestock in unhygienic, cramped and inhumane spaces. This leads to countless diseases being spread, which then leads to antibiotics being pumped into said animals, then immunity, cycle repeats.
Around late 2015, a resistance to Colistin (a very strong nephrotoxic antibiotic) was discovered in China. This drug was one of our best defenses against even the strongest infection. Now it's spread to humans, and since we are so connected this could be very bad news.
I'm sure this is nothing more than synthetic nutrients being restructured and assembled in the molecular architecture of meat, but regardless of this shit, very real reasons persist to not eat meat.
