“I’m a vegetarian. I’d probably be more likely to eat it if you’re not harming anything. But then again, they are still living cells. If you have to eat meat, I guess that’s a better alternative.”

“That sounds good, but what if you get a disease from eating it. But a lab? That’s one of the nastiest places ever. I’d rather eat an animal. I’ll stick with that.”

“I’m a vegetarian. I feel like I’d be open to that. I’m mainly a vegetarian because of the way animals are treated and raised to die.”
