No, thank you. No lab meat, and no Soylent Green for me.

The next step would be for lobbyists to convince congress that identifying labeling should be stopped.

When they come up with a lab-crated NY Strip Steak with the juiciness and flavor of the same served up at Ruth's Chris i.e. if you can't bring it out on a leash and mooing, it's overdone, well, I'll take a run at it.

If it really tastes and looks the same for half the price or better, I'll open a restaurant.

Origin and process should be put on meat packaging.

Halal meat is not labeled.
Foreign meat is not labeled.
Cloned meat is not labeled

Lab-grown???

It is best to buy a 1/4 beef.

following their animal-free meatball debut in 2016.

This reminds me of getting horrible tasting soy burgers as a kid in the 1970s. They didn't have meat in them either.

The scienc-fiction writer H. Beam Piper postulated this sort of thing in the late ‘50s or early ‘60s. He coined the term “carniculture” for it; the idea was as a means of growing meat on starships or planets not friendly to Earth type farming.

Production costs currently run about $6,000 per pound of meat...

The market will catch up. I passed on a $25 package of stew meat the other day...

I foresee a factory of giant towers, like an oil refinery, making ‘meat’ to order.

Pork, chicken, beef, mutton, goat, fish, all in a days work...............

Why no pork?

The point is, this isn’t “fake meat”. It’s not made of fungus, or grain, or soybeans. It’s muscle tissue. It’s just not grown in a complete animal. Frankly, I’m much more interested in the idea of growing human organs from a patient’s own stem cells, as a non-rejecting transplant.

According to the article, they are using animal cells, so my guess is that PETA would still protest.

a factory of giant towers

Piper alluded to exactly that in some of his stories. In one of them, they used "carniculture" to grow new muscles for a severely injured character.

They are concentrating on the highest profit types of meat. Doing pork would cut out about half the world’s population from their prospective customer base.............

So, if PETA can call a undifferentiated mass of cellular tissue an ‘animal’, then a undifferentiated cellular mass of human tissue is a ‘baby’...........can’t have it both ways............
