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.

    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:

      1. Do not mix seed in your field
      2. Do not mix linen clothes with cotton clothes
      3. Do not shave/destroy your beard: because it is natural and was given to you by God. Do not destroy it
      4. A man shall not wear women’s clothing or a woman man’s clothing. Again, the principle is: respect the natural order. A man is a man, a woman is a woman

      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.
