Cultured Meat Breaks Out of the Lab

[@sk.n.9302]

Vince, I was hoping for another video, great job on this one, thanks!

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

Glad you liked it! More to come.

"It's real meat But it gets PETA off my ass" I found that amusing.

Who said you can't talk about food-tech without some humor? :)

[@timluo6120]

Dude you need to make more videos, I love your style and presentation. The bigger you get the better for animals/ our planet. I'm tired of strict vegans making hate videos on lab-grown animal products because of the need for perfection.

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

Thank you, Tian. You pretty much summed up my motivation. I have more in the works, and hope to carve out more time for them soon as well. Now to get my subscriber count up! Thanks for doing your part :)

Another great video! Incredible to hear JUST is getting their chicken nuggets to market! I remember watching the video where they ate chicken, in front of the chicken it came from!! We live in exciting times... Thanks for making these awesome and inspiring videos!

@@theflexitariantimes8140 I wish there were more channels like yours that promote flexitarianism. I would say that veganism is even better, but some people are only open to significantly reducing. A large number of them would make a bigger influence than a small number of vegans, as far as dealing with the environmental crisis.

My dream of finally being able to eat dinosaur meat is coming to fruition. Thanks for the video!

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

Ha ha! I hadn’t thought about that. Why not?

[@gr8bkset-524]

Dinosaur meat must taste like chicken because chickens are descendants of dinosaurs.

[@konjfful2963]

From "I cant imagine this!" to "I cant imagine living without this!" such a great way to put it. Im hopeful for a greener future. Now how about all the plastic in the ocean getting absorbed by fish tissue and bioaccumulating, then people eating it and dying from plastic consumption and accumulation. Thats the #1 issue is our ocean.

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

In the states we have the fabulous Beyond Burger… but packaged in more plastic than a computer hard disc. Ridiculously!

[@freshairkaboom8171]

This, as a vegan, brings me a lot more hope than anything else. Yes, being a vegan is important, but obviously on the macro scale nothing can compete with pure economics and innovation. People in a few generations will be vegan purely coincidentally, and people will have to go out of their way to not be vegan. It's an amazing time to live, and I think this will revolutionize how humans live and care for the planet we share more than anything in our history. And it's happening THIS DECADE. And it won't stop once it has set root either. I'm so excited to see the future where vegans can eat a McDouble and eat a McFlurry. How cool isn't that?

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

Well put.

[@Wyndheim67]

Fantastic video! The investment comparison in particular really highlights how we're going to see an acceleration of progress. Not only will this be cheaper, equally healthy and use less land, water and energy, but it will also provide humankind with a more stable food supply, which I think is absolutely essential long term. Not to mention, of course, all the animals who won't have to suffer anymore. Truly a win-win situation even if traditional meat will continue to be in large demand for the next few decades.

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

I’m glad you liked the video. Yup interesting times ahead and reasons for some optimism!

[@ruskface]

Nice update. I have been sampling a lot of plant-based meaty stuff and enjoying. Looking forward to trying some real fake meat!

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

“Real Fake Meat” Now THERE’S a marketing slogan! I’d hurry up and get that trademarked :)

[@golftrekker]

What great investment opportunities exist now with lab grown meat and the fermentation process, if I was young I would put my money there!

[@konjfful2963]

great presentation. New subscriber

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

Thank you!

[@thedamnedatheist]

Whether it will replace meat is yet too be seen. Hopefully they will soon move past mince to steak & fillet type cuts. then they will own 90% of the market.

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

Agreed. They are working on scaffolds and also the culture of fats, but it is difficult to imagine a convincing medium rare ribeye steak ever being created in this way. My guess is that so much of a cattle's value will be replaced with cultured alternatives that 'real' steak will become a rare delicacy available from artisan producers. Eventually completely novel cultured formulations will arise that people really like, and that over a generation, these will become preferred by most people.

Much appreciated!

Consumers fail to adopt excellent products every day... ofter for little or no reason... Given the suspicious nature of so many consumers, adoption rates may be Significantly lower than any eventual product can tolerate in the market space on a high volume low cost basis.

This disruption is starting to warm up. I can see this as a food source for a Mars colony by the end of this decade.

[@golftrekker]

My question is, If we don't eat them anymore (of which I am in favor as a vegan) where do all the cows, pigs, chickens etc go?

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

Well obviously, there will be way fewer ever born. The ones that remain will be on artisan farms and maybe pets!

[@jsparlin1]

i'm in t;he meat business, goats and cows, but i can see a problem.. feed going up and costs too.

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

I think small artisan producers are going to be ok for a while. In the bigger picture it's a question of scale and how to feed billions without such a heavy price

[@mortred4144]

There would be still demand for real animal meat. But since it's lower maybe with right regulation we could get rid of horrific giant farms. Instead we could have small to mid sized farms operated by families with humane conditions as an alternative.

[@theflexitariantimes8140]

@@mortred4144 I think that's a pretty realistic scenario.

[@gingerbaker1]

@@theflexitariantimes8140 Exactly what "heavy price" are you taking about? Crop agriculture has significantly more GHG footprint than the entire livestock industry (which supplies hundreds of useful products besides food) , according to the EPA. And your product will be relying heavily on the products of crop agriculture.

[@rebellyousfoods]

@@gingerbaker1 In raw numbers, crop ag may be responsible for a larger total GHG footprint, but the portion of it that finds its way into our diets via animal agriculture does so in 10X - 20X less efficient manner, and this is before taking into account fresh water usage, antibacterial resistance, aquifer contamination, etc. Lots of venture capital funded progress is being made to replace the several (not hundreds) other useful bi products of animal rendering. And cellular or cultured meat, unlike plant-based meat, makes precisely zero use of the products of crop agriculture.

Does everyone now know that animal agriculture contributes more to climate change than all transportation combined? Link on request.
