LeBron James is more than just a basketball legend. He is also a social leader who is not afraid to speak his mind on various issues. The Los Angeles Lakers star has been vocal about topics such as police brutality, racial justice, and voting rights. But there is one thing that James is not willing to do: eat lab-grown meat.

The four-time NBA champion recently reacted to a news report about the USDA approving two companies to sell lab-grown ‘chicken meat’. He posted a story on his Instagram account with the caption “Man HELL NAH!!!”, showing his disgust at the idea.

Lab-grown meat is produced by growing animal cells in a controlled environment without the need for raising and slaughtering animals. This technology’s supporters say it can help solve the problems of animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and food security. However, the opponents of lab-grown meat have doubts about its safety, quality, cost, and ethics.

James may have rejected lab-grown meat because he does not trust its safety or quality. He may also prefer natural and organic foods over processed and artificial ones. Whatever his reasons are, James has made his opinion clear. He has also shared his views with his 156 million Instagram followers, showing his influence and popularity.

James is no stranger to longevity. He has played more minutes than anyone in NBA history except Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone, and he is still going strong at 38. He invests millions of dollars in his training and nutrition to keep his body in peak condition and also knows a thing or two about the food industry and what goes into his meals. That’s why he was stunned by the USDA’s decision.

The department approved two companies to sell chicken meat that was grown in a lab, not on a farm. The decision sparked a huge backlash on social media, with many people questioning the safety and ethics of lab-grown meat.

Whether LeBron James tries lab-grown meat or not, one thing is certain his stance may have an impact on how other people perceive this emerging technology and whether they will accept it or not in the future.
