Poll: Would you eat in vitro meat?

Hey guys!

So it looks like we'll be getting food grown in labs in the near future. Do you see yourself eating it?

I ask because most people I've talked to about it have their doubts, but I think it sounds awesome. Looking at the Wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_meat#Health) I think it might take a while for it to become as tasty and cost-effective as normal meat, plus using less antibiotics (though in fairness a lot of farmers ply their cattle with antibiotics as insurance against infection rather than a combat to it), but when it does: good times.

Once the process becomes cheaper (and if it doesn't use up too many resources) it'll easily outstrip traditional pastoral farming in cost-efficiancy. Also, less pastoral farming = more land given over to arable, and more plants is generally a good thing. Farmer's can diversify into bio-fuels and medicinal plants and such. So for me, it's more a point of principle than the fact I'll be eating the future.
