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...

No, No and No. No to artificial meat. Meats meat and man’s got to eat.

They’re not going to disrupt anything with that cost.

“Essentially, we are taking a number of animal cells, giving them clean and nutritious food and then we watch them grow into a muscle. We harvest that muscle and then cook it,” Valeti says.

What we essentially are doing is causing muscle cells to grow immortally in solution. Oh, the other name for such a growth? A sarcoma.

Stopped eating meat in March of 2016.
Because of The Gentle Barn in Tennessee, a farm rescue sanctuary.
That did it for me.

Lab-Grown Meat Coming to Supermarket Shelves Soon?

Vat-grown mean that is indistinguishable from what comes out of a slaughterhouse - it's going to happen and it can't get here fast enough for me. When this technology matures, we'll free up a huge amount of arable land currently used for grazing to grow crops, we'll be able to tailor the meat to reduce fat or increase needed nutrients, and we'll be able to have Wagyu quality beef at reasonable prices.

Been seeing variations of this same story for 30 years now.

And in a couple of decades we’ll probably all learn that it’s actually horrible for your health and clogs your articles, just like margarine, because the human body doesn’t process it properly (since it isn’t natural food). The scientists lied to the people for many years claiming that their lab modified, hydrogenated oil was healthier than butter, when it was actually much worse.
