    Thank you for your response.
    It is good to be skeptic but when we look at how things are today and how disease can be drawn from the consumption of animal meat by humans. If the cattle from which the meat is acquired looks unhealthy there are a number of problems which can occur from the consumption of its meat but if it looks healthy you cannot still be sure that you will go unharmed by consuming its meat.

      I understand and completely agree something needs done to stop the inhumane and unsustainable practice of raising meat. I do eat meat but very little. Bone broth, milk, and eggs are Staples for me, tho. Would this same technology apply to those? Not sure milk would be able to be engineered.

        Glad to hear that you have such a healthy diet. I can't say for sure that the things you enlisted can be made from stem cells but i will say that for bone broth, bone marrow can be grown but it might still be different from actual bones. Eggs can be produced probably by using Embryonic stem cells of a chicken and Milk can be produced using other techniques:
