Re: Is Cultivated Meat for Real?
#12I sincerely hope not. I have incisor teeth passed down to me from generation upon generation of my previous kin all the way back to my stoneage ancestors. Incisors are specifically designed for tearing and ripping meat. I eat real meat!
Cows have incisors, should cows also eat real meat? Incisors are more for cutting than tearing, canines do the tearing but human canines are too short to effectively tear. Cows also have canines. I would give cultivated meat a try but I don't see it becoming a staple of my diet. A hamburger sounds good about now.
Don't kid yourself Jimmy, if a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about.

#13We currently have a restaurant here in Tel Aviv (The Chicken, https://thechicken.kitchen/), that acts as the test kitchen for a local startup called SuperMeat. This is definitely something that is happening, and even in the nearish (sub 10 year) term. The dream is that this is always around the corner, however.

aren't they bred to be very docile?

#15Cultured meat is the ultimate processed food. It is to meat what a pop tart is to bread and fruit.
Re: Is Cultivated Meat for Real?
#16The idea of cultured meat sounds wonderful. Its real meat, but without the guilt.
But there is the cold reality of enshittification and the numerous sketchy practices of the industrial food industry. So one has to make a choice: the traditional "Iowa" meat industrial complex or the new "valley bro" meat industrial one? For now at least I feel safer with the former.

But when 95% of animal products are factory farmed globally, the processes already take away from the nutrition and heavily harm the environment.
Surely reducing the harm to the environment and animals is worth it...Not to mention the horrible conditions for the people who's job it is to kill animals all day in abattoirs?!

Do you feel the same way about yoghurt?

#19If economy of scale is a problem, I look forward to seeing home-tanks that sit on the counter top like slow cookers and produce the meat-alike overnight. Go to the store and buy bags of concentrate just like any other grocery ingredient.
You can make Tempeh at home: the colonisation is ~24/72h. Super nutritious and if well cooked strong umami taste like wild/farm meat, compared to sweetysweet nugget.

Where do you think the nutrients for cultivated meat are going to come from? Where do you think the byproducts are going to go?
Sustainably raised meat is the most environmentally friendly way to feed people.
