The same people losing their minds over GMO crops are embracing labgrown meat. Why would you trust this? It's the ultimate processed food.

Instead of useless hostile replies, people should have just informed you that you're likely confusing plant-based meat alternatives like impossible Burger with lab grown meat. Lab grown meat is still meat and it's not processed from a bunch of ingredients it's grown, just not on an animal. I'm sorry lemmy is so toxic. People should be allowed to not know everything, I think.

I think you're allowed to "not know everything" in most places. Usually, the issue comes when you make a factually-incorrect or demonstrably-false statement with no explanation to back it up. I typically only see downvotes when a comment is made with undeserved confidence and/or exudes a sense of arrogance.
