You may think, oh - we've been eating that for a while, right? No, not really. It's just about as new as obesity and other modern epidemics we've been dealing with ...
> ...the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will need to inspect the company’s production facilities and product While I'm not undercutting the work that the USDA places into regulating consumer safety in the food supply chain, isn't it crazy to think that lab-grown meats are probably going to be under higher scrutiny from a food safety perspective than farm grown and butchered meats?
Yeah I’m going to let other folks experiment with that for 10 or so years and see where it goes. I’m sure the meat is fine, it’s just a matter of not contaminating it during the process that I’m concerned about. The FDA is really poor at enforcing the health and safety aspects of manufacturing and processing. They simply don’t have enough inspectors and the inspectors don’t fine big offenders enough

Is there some resource detailing just how thorough the FDA reviews consumption safety? While I doubt this won't pass a long-term test, it'd be interesting to see whether or not food products are tested for long-term effects at different consumption levels, or if they simply test for any immediately concerning issues and constantly watch for illness/health problems that might be attributed to evolving consumption tren…

Going to be great to see people make up reasons not to eat this, when they are fine with all the crap that goes into a cow to keep it healthy and alive long enough to slaughter. Nevermind the crazy chemicals used for milk processing! You may think, oh - we've been eating that for a while, right? No, not really.

What, like grass and sugar beet pulp?

Or consuming terrifying amounts of energy and resources, when you can put a cow in a field until it's big enough to eat.
