Can Lab-Grown Steak be the Future of Meat? | Big Business | Business Insider

Beef has a massive carbon footprint. Plant-based alternatives, like Beyond Meat, have grown into a $5.6 billion market. Still, scientists are trying to go a step further. This time, growing real meat in a lab without killing a cow. We head to Israel to see how a 3D-printed steak is made and if it could really make a dent in the busted beef industry.

This idea is enabled and developed by people who don't understand how good rural farming life makes people feel, it is concocted by people who have never experienced the life they seek to destroy, so think what you want but there is nothing which compares to the sight of young calves running through fields in spring, or the smell of fresh cut grass in summer or the meeting and talking to other farmers helping each other out and forming long lasting relationships based on values of equality dignity respect and hard work.

So even if you have to take the life of one cow for this lab grown meat, perhaps you could yield a lot more meat than you use.

If one cow gives us 5 cows worth of lab grown meat, I would 100% say that is a step in the right direction and this should be looked at more.

[@BJCMXY]

That is logical. I simply buy local organic sustainably produced meat... It's not as easy to cook with as the mass produced variety, but it's just better for my local economy. I pay a premium for the sustainability of the business, but I simply eat less overall. I can't properly digest plant proteins, so I actually eat more than twice as much and still obtain half as much satiety as half the quantity of animal protein. So, It actually is less wasteful for me to comsume meat as the required nutrients are packaged more compactly in that form for me. Sort of like how juice from concentrate is cheaper to transport because the product takes up less weight and volume during transit. Also lab grown stuff reminds me of the Book "Feed" a dystopia future.

My guess is lab-grown meat is gonna take faster time and less carbon footprint to produce but at a high cost. But one thing is for sure is that most consumers only care about price and quality. They don't care about ethics or environmental friendly. So if you cannot produce a meat of the same quality at a competing price against normal beef. It's likely gonna fail.

I'd disagree with the final point of Celia Homyak. Yes, this has been in development for quite some time, but think of how long meat industry has had to grow, and become as efficient as it is today. We've been eating meat for thousands of years, and meat production industry has developed over hundreds of years. It takes a while for new concepts and techniques to develop, and for them to catch on. Electric vehicles were a thing twenty years ago, but it wasn't before bigger companies with more funding got into it that we started seeing them be properly considered. And when you are creating something wildly new, you do need time, and most importantly funding to do it. Before 2020, the industry had less than 100 million a year. That is still incredibly amount of money, but think how much money is being poured into regular meat industry, or anything else that is already basically developed, only to make things bit more efficient. I believe that in time we will see lab grown meat become common, but it will probably take a while, probably over a decade. But time and money spent on it now is necessary if we want it to become feasible.
