Reply to comment by [deleted] in In an Industry First, Upside Foods’ Lab-Grown Chicken Gets FDA Approval by izumi3682

Do you know a single thing about nutritional science? Do you know how inconsistent it is? Do you understand that, scientifically, we have a long way to go to fully understand how any of these things really impact the body?

I have a degree in neuroscience, and along with that degree came a healthy awareness for just how incomplete our understanding is when it comes to the body.

Also, you literally sound like a religious zealot. Actually study science and you will see it is not only rife with dissent, but dissent is encouraged in genuine scientific settings. It’s not pushed as some neo-religion like Redditors do. Because real science only works in a forum of free idea exchange, not this petty “if you don’t agree with the observations of another scientist then you are a science denier.” That’s what religious folk do.

I’m a specialized engineer, R&D nuclear/military/chemical.

Oh I agree with your skepticism, but your wording comes off as crazy. You could express healthy skepticism of this with much more tact, so I’m very surprised someone at your level has your grammar, which is rudimentary, so people are assuming you’re not very smart. It’s the subtext to your comments.

If you word more carefully, and stick to short specific skepticism, you’ll be received better. You criticized the progress of science in general, which is odd to do. Not specifically the uncertainty.

I'm reading all this lab grown meat bullshit and all it sort of reminds me of is the whole 'madcow disease' business.

I don't think the supporters of tjis really realise just how precarious this path can be. We could start eating this bullshit and next thing you know, two to three generations later children are being born with more defects than any other time in human history. This shit could make people insane....

There is a natural order to life and how lifeforms get sustenance from nature. This should be approved only after a multigenerational study, spanning at least 60 years. The long term effects of this can be very very very precarious.

And the idiots that are just saying and preaching "science !! science !!", they are in my opinion being reductive (to put it mildly).

Yep. You nailed it. And they act that way because science today is the new religion, which is exactly the opposite of what science is supposed to be. If you mock someone for dissenting against research, you are inherently not a scientist. Most of these people are uneducated sheep who just believe what the nightly news tells them.

Oh yes. Because having an opinion in science is the same as believing in monsters. Sure, I’m the crazy one. Your lack of scientific understanding is painfully obvious now.

Look, I’m not interested in arguing with religious zealots, so have a nice life.
