#2I'm super excited by these startups. It seems to be the most promising meat alternatives around at least judging by the articles I've read. The faster we can stop maintaining livestock for meat production the better. It takes the 'middle man' out from plants to people. I love meat and I'm hopeful they can make a steak someday.

#3Interesting. As somebody who is not at all familiar with the "alternative meat" industry, my first question is, why not use real cow blood?
You wouldn't need to kill the animal to use its blood and you could extract more blood from an animal than meat. Presumably the environmental impact of a blood only farm would be substantially lower than that of a meat farm. Or is that not the case?

Honestly a good chef can make cardboard taste good. But as a daily meat eater I'd love a good ground beef alternative.

The product would not be marketable to vegans if real cow blood were used.
(Granted, the article says the company is not marketing to vegans.)

#6Possible benefit. Less chance of food poisoning over real meat? If a cow has a soul it has been clearly exorcised in most fast food beef patties by the lengths they go to to make them safe.

#7If they can do it close to zero carbohydrates per serving, I'm in.
If they can't, it's just another over-processed frankenfood greasing the slicks to a diabetic future.

I think draining an animal of blood over and over is also pretty cruel.

Because the target group for this is product like this is virtually non existent.
If you don't eat meat for health reason blood or meat doesn't make the difference, if you don't eat meat for the animals, why would you support a gruesome vampire farm.
Also this sounds ridiculously impractical if you can just simulate the stuff by using ketchup for the color and iron for the taste.
