I don't eat red meat or poultry, but I eat fish.  I don't eat red meat or 
poultry because I don't like it - the smell, the taste, and expecially the 
texture (it's just too chewy-fleshy tasting).  So I certainly would not eat 
vat grown steak, unless it didn't have the smell, taste, or texture of steak, 
in which case it wouldn't be steak and then, only then, would I consider 
eating it.
