Gates & Branson are betting lab-grown meat might be the food of the future

[FakeNews]

Vegetarians have long touted the ethical and environmental problems with meat production and consumption. Start-ups such as MosaMeat, JUST and Memphis Meats are tissue-engineering meat in a lab to allow people to enjoy being a carnivore without any of the environmental or ethical hang-ups.

Dubbed clean meat, the efforts are distinct from "fake meat," like the soy protein "chicken" you can find in your grocery store today. Unlike Morningstar or Boca Burgers, clean meat really is meat; it just grows in a lab instead of being part of an animal. But lab-grown meat leads most skeptical diners to think of a big hurdle: taste.

Bill Gates has invested in lab-grown meat companies, as has Richard Branson. "Raising meat takes a great deal of land and water and has a substantial environmental impact," Gates wrote on his personal blog, Gatesnotes.com, a few years ago. "Put simply, there's no way to produce enough meat for 9 billion people. Yet we can't ask everyone to become vegetarians. That's why we need more options for producing meat without depleting our resources."

I wouldn't be surprised if, by the end of this century, most consumed meat was so-called "clean" (lab grown) meat.

In fact, I'll be first in line, once prices are competitive with farm raised meat.

Once the big food supply and big pharma get involved (which they will) you won't want any of that in your system.
At least I won't. Will still buy range animals from locals and consume non modified meat.

An I will be there to sell you premium, free range, organic, treated with the utmost respect and care critters for your consuming pleasure.

At a price of course because food grown old school style will become illegal or practically illegal for most people once big ag/pharma get into this and start sending their legislation to get passed in DC.

Grow what you eat and eat what you grow, sure.

Especially opium, coca, and tobacco growers

Kill what you eat and eat what you kill, yeah.

Especially cops, soldiers, and executioners.

Suppose every fatal shooting and other homicide victim was force-fed to their killer. Would that be a deterrent, or would cannibals and suicide bombers be encouraged?

Meanwhile, advanced 3D printers will soon churn-out riblets, cutlets, chops, wings, and sweetmeats built from raw proteins from plants, animal wastes, insects, etc. Yum.

Always recycle.

If you're a space explorer on a long range mission, perhaps even to and from Mars, you're going to need lab-grown, or even

-yikes-

recycled proteins.

They still won't eat meat. New ways will be found to hate it, e.g., meat, even artificial, causes cancer, especially if you grill it.

Seems like taste would be a huge factor since it hasn't eaten anything. Could be the blandest shit ever or could be awesome cuz it's not tainted with anything.
Seems weird tho. I'd rather have a normal cow thanks.

 

[WoundedKnee]

You can always turn it into sausage.

Tilapia is the closest thing going and it tastes like ass.

Reminds me of a Torchwood episode where a huge alien, whale-like being materialized in a Cardiff warehouse. A nefarious crew set about to carve off pieces of it and sell it as meat while it was still alive. Man...that was a great show.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Have you seen Bill Gates lately? He's starting to look like the Cryptkeeper.

A little bit behind the times, aren't ya.

Fry tofu in chicken schmaltz and it tastes just like chicken. Fry it in rattlesnake fat if you're stuck in the desert. Then think of cheap Munchies burgers, 90% soy meal, ten cents each awhile ago. Replace that 10% meat with lab-grown and it's still cheap.

"Would you like yam fries with your order?" asks the former Brietbart editor.
