What surprises me about this work is that it does not seem to include the more aggressive (for lack of a better word) alternatives I have heard being thrown around, like “Suffering-free”, or “Clean”, or “cruelty-free”.
For what it’s worth, my first interpretation of “no-kill meat” is that you’re harvesting meat from animals in ways that don’t kill them. Like amputation of parts that grow back.
Lab grown meat → no-kill meat
This tweet recommends changing the words we use to discuss lab-grown meat. Seems right.
There has been a lot of discussion of this, some studies were done on different names, and GFI among others seem to have landed on “cultivated meat”.

I love this wording!
i’d be curious to see the results of e.g. focus groups on this — i’m just now realizing how awful of a name “lab grown meat” is, re: the connotations.
