Fine by me, but for the love of god, label it. Label everything. Stop bending to the will of every shady food manufacturer and give some transparency to the human beings actually consuming these substances.

#332Do they bleach the nuggets for hygiene, as they do to real chickens? And what about the taste? There is nothing better than a good roasted Bresse chicken :)

#333Hard pass. Let's see some long-term (10 years) test data first (e.g., how does it effect things like muscle growth/retention, fat growth/loss, cell function, cancer promotion/prevention etc). I'd put this stuff on the same level as any mass-produced junk (HFCS, seed oils, etc) that has already been proven to be harmful to humans long-term as a cautious default.
Seed oils being unhealthy is quackery. https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-... They improve health outcomes when put to the test, especially when replacing saturated fat.
no one is going to read that blog post and its the same level of quackery as the blog posts that say seed oil is killing our health.

Not sure why you shared this. maybe you should share actual research or anectdotal evidence by someone who is actually responsible for someone else's health and has yoe.

When this technology finally gets there, and I see no reason to think it won't eventually, it will change the world so dramatically. The amount of land and water we won't need to raise animals or food for animals it's staggering. The amount of meat the world consumes will double by the end of the century (will it? I made that up). As the world gets richer, people eat more meat. Combine that with a rising population a…

That still has to be in the millions or billions of acres globally. No?

#335It will be animal cells differentiated into muscle tissues on collagen scaffolds initially. The technology comes from attempts to grow functional organs (ie, liver) that are biocompatible in the body serum proper. If there aren't health effects from transplantation within the animal type you can probably eat the animal tissues just fine. It's the same thing. It's meat. It's just without the animal suffering. And hope…

I think you're overestimating that, probably because of vegan propaganda.
Eg. A lot of the water you use for animals turns into milk or pee (or sweat?), and goes back to the cycle of water.

What do you use for fertilizer today, and where does it come from? Is there a scaling concern there, as well?

Only if it's cheaper. They said the same thing about plant based meat - and it hasn't because it's more expensive.
Pretty sure it's not more expensive. People that are willing to buy vegan are just generally richer and more likely to be able to spend more. Thus the prices are artificially inflated by market segmentation. At least where I'm from the companies make way more profit from their vegan substitutes then their equivalent meat products.
I agree that making the same volume of food is probably cheaper if you're processing vegan only ingredients - but if you look at the amount of nutrients / $, vegan substitutes are nowhere close to meat

Lab grown meat combined with bacteria tank flours - looking forward to it

I think the rest of what that post is saying is that 35% is an important part of soil maintenance (ie avoiding another dust bowl). Though I do think with testing we should still be able to drastically reduce the amount of land needed, though likely not exactly 1:1 with previous animal consumption.
