Lab-Grown Real Meat is Finally Here

Companies around the world are beginning to commercialize “cultured” meat products, developed by growing animal cells in a lab rather than killing living creatures.

Cultured meat can be a colossal opportunity for our planet! A study found that cell-based beef is projected to use 95% fewer global greenhouse gas emissions, 98% less land use and up to half as much energy. It also significantly reduces the amount of antibiotics needed, which are widely used in agriculture and contribute hugely to worsening antibiotic resistance. And since the animal cells are grown in a facility rather than within the animals themselves, cell-based meat has the potential to eliminate animal suffering too.

[@buddha11585]

Does this consider the energy input for producing these cultured meat?

​@@buddha11585 Yes, the researchers calculated the entire process.

[@terramater]

The reduction in the number of farmed animals reduces also the chance of zoonosis.

[@GavinLawrence747]

@@terramater What are you on about? The farming of animals is one of the reasons why there are less zoonotic events. You only have to look at where bush meat is consumed or wet markets are used to see that. Stop making things up to suit your distorted view of reality!

[@SouthernCross207]

@@GavinLawrence747 you completely misread the premise and extrapolated in the wrong direction. The reason bush meat and wet markets are more likely to cause new pandemics is because they are dirty, and uncontrolled environments. Farms are better in that we have more control over the environment and cleanness. Lab meat continues that trend of having even more control over the very mechanisms to produce meat. You don't need to worry about mad cow, E.coli contamination, salmonella, and countless other animal diseases when there is no animal to infect. You have lab level controls over the entire production chain.

Shower thought: The types of animals we eat is based on taste, and if we can tame to stay on a farm. With cultured meats this will open up opportunities to eat wild-animals meat without killing them that includes, tiger, elephants, and etc.

[@peterisawesomeplease]

Thanks. Bloomberg quick take videos tend be onesided. I am vegan so i clicked like on this in a hearbeat but really its not great. Not even a hint of critique is annoying. For that matter it appears like they talked almost exclusively to one company.

This is the better future, if only SOME meat eaters could just stop being stubborn

[@raresmircea]

This is the future. Just like we would be grossed out by someone killing an animal and eating its raw meat, the future civilization wouldn’t stomach nor tolerate someone eating the flesh of another conscious being.

[@KiraHellhammer]

At which point is the cultured meat considers alive? Not judging, honest food for thought (pun intended). Also would definitely eat. Meat without murder? Heck yes

[@maxclaessens7487]

The cells are alive otherwise they couldn’t grow

[@JarLoz]

I guess technically the cells growing in a culture are just as alive as the whole animal the cells originated from. But then, plants are just as alive as animals, and there seems to be very little ethical concerns over the well-being of a stalk of corn being cut down for food.

[@GavinLawrence747]

It's the same hypocritical stance that these "vegans" take towards the vaccines that they are quite happy to take. Never mind the misery that the vaccine testing inflicts on simians in the process.

[@KiraHellhammer]

@@GavinLawrence747 what does vaccine testing have to do with this topic? Elaborate on the hypocrisy please. I would like to know if I'm a hypocrite or not. Please send me a PM if you have to.

[@ktsterlin9304]

My whole issue with this is that I think we should be working to lower meat consumption. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but I do read about the links in meat consumption and preventable diseases. With offering this “better” meat alternative notice that they are making them into fried food and burgers...they are turning it into popular foods that plague the standard American diet. I want to be on board with this but it seems off.

[@snarkanoid]

I heard that animals are mostly fed byproducts of the food we produce for ourselves, the inedible parts, and then turn that plant waste into meat for us. I always wonder how honest the promoters of non-animals based protein are being.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

Wrong. Pretty much all soy is produced specifically for animal feed stock. And apart from that a lot of corn and fodder beet.

Oh, yeah, eating meat artificially grown in a lab is definitely healthier and won't increase the risk of getting who knows what diseases (sarcasm).

I'm glad that these start ups are capturing regulators early to keep their monopoly profits secure from pesky small startups. But on a less sarcastic note they seriously should use kelp as feed...that is going to be ridiculously cheaper as time moves on and fresh water gets more expensive.

[@jordankriss2440]

Please let's make this more important than anything else. We need to stop the endless and brutal suffering of those animals. Whether chicken, pig, insects or human, EVERY living creature that breathe in oxygen feels the pain like you and I would. We need to stop the suffering.

[@Simon-dm8zv]

Exactly sir.

How do you know that plants don't feel pain and suffer when they are harvested? what if it is a language or sound that we cannot currently understand?

[@Simon-dm8zv]

@@GavinLawrence747 Not relevant. For meat and dairy production are enormous amounts of plants required. If you want to keep ‘plant suffering’ to a minimum, going vegan is the best choice.
