Babies mitochondria are developed in the womb from what mom eats and is exposed to. That is why we have epigenetic diseases caused by chemical exposure, things we should not eat or breathe. Instead of ethical organic farming we are turning to fake GMO processed foods with no testing for the long term effects on future generations. Long term multigenerational studies. What impact do these fake processed foods have on the environment? Are they truly environmentally friendly or are they just making more money for the people who manufacture them? GMO food promised to feed the hungry. Why are we trusting people who have never kept their promises and used their past inventions to make money rather than solve problems? If you look up some of the environmentally friendly things being done, they are finding they use more energy, more resources, are less friendly than if they have used responsible organic farming practices.The companies pursuing fake foods are the ones who bring us toxic chemicals and drugs for our many diseases resulting from their toxins.

The problem is continuing as we are now doing. Animal agriculture is so terrible for our environment and more. The benefits of switching to a purely plant based diet are amazing. 1-Your own health (vegans are less likely to get several deadly chronic diseases) 2-Helping to end animal agriculture would reduce the chance of another pandemic & other zoonotic diseases 3-Helping to end animal ag would reduce the chance of the development of an antibiotic resistant pathogen. 4-Animal ag wastes a huge amount of fresh water 5-Animal ag is a major cause of water pollution 6-Animal ag is a major cause of deforestation 7-Animal ag increases PTSD and spousal abuse in the people who work in slaughterhouses 8-Animal ag is a major cause of the loss of habitat and biodiversity 9-Animal welfare, obviously 10- It is the single most effective way for each of us to fight climate change and environmental degradation. 11- Longer lifespan. 12- Healthier weight (vegans were the only dietary group in the Adventist Studies that had an average BMI in the recommended range.) 13- A vegan world would save 8 million human lives a year, and $1.5 trillion in health care costs (Oxford Study) Links for some of these are at my channel under "About."

Don’t really see how whey alone can create a convincible dairy product as whey is only 20% of the protein in milk. Also they talk about whey as it is one type of protein, but maybe they create multiple types of whey proteins?

[@someaipretendingtobehuman3157]

I'm pretty sure, you don't drink milk as your main source of protein.

[@thesmoothie104]

@@someaipretendingtobehuman3157 which is not what I’m saying? I’m saying that whey protein alone is not the same as “lab-grown dairy” since it is a very small component of the milk composition.

[@satsukihatake2915]

I think I read in an article somewhere that they do make milk that is chemically the same as cow's milk but just without lactose? And then the whey can be isolated from that

[@thesmoothie104]

@@satsukihatake2915 If they can actually recreate casein micelles then great. Though I highly doubt it since its structure is still not fully understood and is a complex of multiple casein proteins. Anyway, that is besides the point since that is not what they do here. They only create whey proteins in this video

[@nathanvalle6997]

Thats the thing, this isn't plant based. Its microbe based. They use microbes, yeast in this instance, to create the substances and proteins of dairy milk WITHOUT the cows. Its almost identical to dairy-milk except they can tailor it to cut out the cholesterol and lactose to make it healthier. This technology isn't new. Most medications, most famously insulin, have been made this way since the 1980s.

not sure about that, sounds like a way of producing food that governments or even worse, one government could monopolize and therefore having control over the whole population. The ideal solution would be to promote local farms that respect the environment and provide fresh products, and to encourage self sufficiency. Everyone should own a little piece of land and be able to grow a few vegetables and plum a chicken.

[@bjrock1235]

If the meat and dairy industry are eliminated they will be adopted into sanctuaries. The only reason they’re overpopulated is due to human intervention for mass production for our consumption but once those industries stop nature will run it’s course and the population will return to more of a normal level.

[@giacomofrattini4456]

Don't want to bother too much, but... In order to make this kind of milk, water is still needed as long as it is needed for soy/almond/oat milk. Just a humble observation. Anyway interesting even though i don't know how do those fungi use the dna. Do they become GMO?

[@FJMF92]

Yeah, but still they don't need that much as dairy from animals or plant-based milk, animals need the water to grow/live, the plants need the water for grow and to make the plant-based milk you need more water then. This lab-grow option could offers an actual solution and to control a lot better the water need it for every use/recipe

>They eat the sugar and convert it into the protein that we care about Sorry, but NO, that's not how this works. Proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur, elements that are not present in the sugars. For the proteins to be created, there should be some other sources - ammonia sulfate at least, free amino acids at most, depending on the special traits of these exact microbes (hope they can utilize the simpler sources, otherwise it's basically useless). That's a misleading oversimplification on their side, and I hope Science Insider will not let this go through the next time, or else it might create some very false understanding of the matter.

I still think everyone should have backyard goats haha. They’re way more environmentally friendly than cows. Take up less space, eat more diverse foods (no big grass fields needed). And no, you don’t ever need to take their babies from them. I have a doe with two bucklings and I still am getting a gallon extra from her daily. Why grow something in a lab when you can work with Mother Nature and get delicious healthy food in your yard? Or support a local small scale farmer with healthy happy animals? It can be done, we need our culture (in the USA) to keep shifting away from non sustainable huge cows and more towards smaller ruminants who can thrive in local unaltered ecology!
