A student is writing an essay on the subject of cultured meat, which is grown in a laboratory and is intended to help reduce the number of livestock harvested for food. The student wishes to make the case that people have mixed feelings about cultured meat that may be a barrier to its worldwide adoption.
Which quotation from a publication by a researcher would most effectively support the student's claim?
"Many consumers who were surveyed believed that cultured meat would be good for the environment if widely available, but few of those same consumers were willing to try eating cultured meat themselves."
A
"Consumers tend to believe that using less packaging when selling meat products in stores would have a significant effect on the environment."
B
"Advocates of lab-grown meat claim that it's safer than conventional meat because the means of its production can be tightly controlled."
C
"The flavor of meat from livestock differs across species (from pig to chicken to cow), and is also influenced by farming conditions and the breeds and genders of animals."
D
