We are probably still too early to know the full implications of this kind of synthetic meat, but I like the direction this concept is going... I especially like the part where no animal killings are needed. -

After we eat their flesh, their soul has nothing left to latch on to, and is left floating around.
Hence its not just the suffering and killing, but also the post-killing consequences that we should consider. -

actually, if you look at the list, you can start by cutting down
i mean, you dont eat sharksfins and abalone now and then right?
well, i know few Vesak Days ago Bright Hill Temple showed videos on cruel slaughter of animals

I have seen the throats of sheep and goats being cut and slit using knife. Their pain and suffering and struggle against painful death is terrible. I stopped taking mutton since.

I think the most guilty is to eat turtles, for turtles have very long lives that are drastically cut short by humans.

Which mountain temple you come from? There are many cases of vegetarians getting malnutrition and other related health problems in medical history, so let's not generalise that going vegetarian is better than having some meat in our diet. Next, you can still take in unhealthy stuff from vegetarian food with high saturated oil and high chorestrol, thus you may die from a heart attack or other afflictions.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:There are a lot of high protein sources of vegetarian food that is just as good as meat. I have never heard about quicker pace. But I have never heard of monks having trouble healing, etc, due to their vegetarian diet. Lots of monks live till old age, many are over 100, some like the famous Zen Master Hsu Yun of modern times, who lived till 120 years old. Plus if you become vegetarian you take in a lot less unhealthy stuff. And have less chance of heart attack, etc. -

To be exact, they are the five edible members of the allium family – onions, leeks, garlic, chives, and shallots.
Hope this helps you.

Correct. It is edible. It is "inedible" in a sense for strict Buddhist vegetarians.Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:If they are inedible, then people would have been poisoned by eating them.
