Lab-Grown Meat Coming to Supermarket Shelves Soon?

Vat-grown mean that is indistinguishable from what comes out of a slaughterhouse - it's going to happen and it can't get here fast enough for me. When this technology matures, we'll free up a huge amount of arable land currently used for grazing to grow crops, we'll be able to tailor the meat to reduce fat or increase needed nutrients, and we'll be able to have Wagyu quality beef at reasonable prices.

Been seeing variations of this same story for 30 years now.

And in a couple of decades we’ll probably all learn that it’s actually horrible for your health and clogs your articles, just like margarine, because the human body doesn’t process it properly (since it isn’t natural food). The scientists lied to the people for many years claiming that their lab modified, hydrogenated oil was healthier than butter, when it was actually much worse.

The point is, this isn’t “fake meat”. It’s not made of fungus, or grain, or soybeans. It’s muscle tissue. It’s just not grown in a complete animal.

And also look on the bright side - no mad cow disease, worms, bacterial and viral infections originating from a cow being in the wild. Better controlled growing conditions to keep the meat disease-free, with the right amount of proteins and nutrients.

True, but the first thing I thought of was Chicken Little from The Space Merchants, by Pohl and Kornbluth. (Piper was OK, too.)

FRANKEN FOOD

THEY BETTER LABEL IT AS SUCH OR MEAT SALES WILL DROP. GMO'S ARE BAD ENOUGH, COUNTRY OF ORIGIN NEEDS ON THE LABEL TOO. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE MY FOOD IS GROWN, IF IT'S CHINA OR M.E. IT CAN ROT ON THE SHELF.

Have you eaten Wendy’s lately nasty crap. Even Crystals taste better, and it is meat paste.

Well, we could rewrite A Modest Proposal for all those who support abortion.

No, horror movies are not in my viewing choices haven’t been since Frankenstein gave me nightmares as a young teen. I can watch those end of the world things and get a good chuckle knowing how bad the science behind them are.

John Wayne, tops my list of movie watching. Loved Atlas Shrugged, and the Left Behind series. Having watched them after reading the books I caught all the errors the directors made. Which is why the new Tarzan movie was such a bust for me, I read all the books as a teen, and the movie was so far off base it was not even near what Burroughs wrote. Graphics were good though.

They have invested in it. As have status quo meat production conglomerates like Tyson, Cargill, Hormel, etc. Not enough yet but it is a worthwhile start.
