Meat despite popular movements to decrease the amount humans consume is still a central part of diets around the world. People who live in industrial countries (like the United States) eat roughly 210 pounds of it each year.
And consumption in the developing world, where people eat closer to 66 pounds each year, is climbing fast. Growth is such that by 2030 the average human is expected to consume just under 100 pounds per year, 10 percent more than today.
Our collective affinity for meat likely began out of circumstance humans that lived inland from the coast had little choice but to hunt in order to live and has persisted for evolutionary reasons. Meat carries nutrients like zinc and protein, promotes growth, and provides energy. It also doesn't hurt that the price of meat has fallen dramatically.

So what are you doing these days?

Yeah, the boss was always on my ass at the fudge packin plant.
I wonder what the left’s reaction to this will be -
because it’s never about what they complain about on the surface (cruel to animals, takes too much land, etc),
they really don’t want people to indulge in meat eating.
I’ve been getting e-mails advertisements about this for years.
LOL!
BTW—I’ll pass on the fake meat I could do okay living on fruits and veggies—until they figure some way to destroy them, too ..
Bad news for the chinese. This is going to cut into their lucrative counterfeit meat business.
Right you are. It isn’t even that they don’t want people to indulge in eating meat, it’s that they want to be able to prohibit people from eating meat. Or, for that matter, anything else that strikes their fancy.
Where are all the natural food purists? I would think they would be up in arms agains “franken meat” made in a lab. However, I suppose PETA is all in favor of synthetic meat.
“We don’t want you to enjoy that because...”

“Meat is still a central part of diets around the world”
As it has throughout human history, which is why we have canine teeth that are longer than the rest of our teeth and why caves that are hundreds of thousands of years old are full of cooked animal bones, and why if our ancestors hadn’t eaten animal products for hundreds of thousands of years, they would have quickly died out because that’s the only way for them (and us) to obtain vitamin B-12 in nature.
Oh, and BTW, looking at the process of “growing” artificial meat, it looks like it will be completely bereft of B-12, which means it won’t be life-sustaining as would real meat.
humans have been growing meat for thousands and thousands of years.
And it’s gonna look like ....?
Scientists were making imitation meat forty years ago by growing large mushrooms on blood soaked wood chips.
They said you could not tell the difference from it and a real meat. Obviously it did not go over.
