Does lab grown meat count as non-factory-farmed meat, or is that out of scope?

@Sodra I would say lab grown meat is kind of a different thing. I maybe should have included an option mentioning that. Presumably some people will think that eating lab grown meat is okay, but every other type of meat is bad. Since lab grown meat isn't widely available right now, I think those people should probably vote 'Eating meat is bad', but they could also vote 'Other'.
