Lab-grown meat, touted as the “cruelty-free” food of the future by everyone from the World Economic Forum to Hollywood mega-celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio, may have a fatal problem, according to a new Bloomberg story.
The problem is that the materials used to make the product – “immortalized cell lines” – replicate forever, just like cancer. Which means, in effect, that they are cancer. Although these cell lines are widely used in scientific research, they’ve never been used to produce food before.
Industry types are “confident” that eating such products poses no risk – although there isn’t any hard data – but it’s not difficult to see, even if the products are “proven” safe, how people might be put off by the thought they’re eating a glorified tumor.
All the evidence suggests that the most prominent producers of these new products – including the “Big Three” startups, Believer Meat, Eat Just and Upside Foods – are doing their best to avoid confronting the issue in public. But whether they’ll be able to keep do so after this latest blast of high-profile negative publicity, remains to be seen.
These new companies have the backing of organizations like the World Economic Forum, which has proposed a “Planetary Health Diet” built around plant-based and alternative protein sources. Activist celebrities are also providing very public support, as well as financing, for the new technology. In 2021, for instance, Leonardo DiCaprio bought an unspecified stake in two lab-grown meat companies, Mosa Meat and Aleph Farms, after an earlier investment in Beyond Meat.

Eat Cancer, get Cancer. Research necessary before I even touch that stuff.
tasty tumors

That is the worst logic.
That’s the most disgusting and revolting thing I’ve read all year. It’s even worse than reading about Rhihana’s behavior during her Super Bowl performance, where she grabbed her crotch and seemed to be smelling the odors from various areas of her body.
Why would anyone with half a brain want to do this?
” replicate forever, just like cancer. Which means, in effect, that they are cancer. “
What the F’ing F?
I’m not eating that!!
Joetato logic.
That’s the most disgusting and revolting thing I’ve read all year.
Some immortal research cell lines are cancer cells. See HeLa cell line.
HeLa stands for Helen Lake, who died of cancer.
What do you mean by “we”, Kemosabe?
Tumor, nugget....same thing.
No, of course not. It needs to be sustained by nutrients.
“The results have been disastrous for our health, and indeed for our freedom. With so much at stake, if we don’t want to live in a “plant-based future”, now isn’t the time to hold back.”
That is the last sentence in the article. Please explain what that means. It makes no sense. “Plant based” is an obfuscation. EVERYTHING is plant based; to limit this new found jargon to processed false “meats” made from plants is a lie. Cattle, and every other walking creature eat plants to live and thus they are all “plant based.”
The left has perfected the process of breeding animals so unconscious they vote 110% Demonrat. Instead of murder-free meat, it’s far easier to develop brain-free meat. The leftist way is the destruction of things that work, not improving anything to work better.
Lol! 🤮
Anyone got the Homer Simpson yum gif handy? Yummmm tumors. Might as well add brains to get CWD/Kuru/CJD aka Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
I thought about it and I believe Prion disease is a true human extinction possibility. The fact that a portion of the Covid mRNA vaccine has a prion type portion seems like those idiots were just looking for trouble.
They could just call them McC Nuggets.
Let the company executives eat it foe a few years.
