Frankenchicken?

[Brian Griffin]

Cattle can graze on land unsuitable for crops.

I have a rabbit problem here in Florida.

Rabbits obviously can graze on grass and produce meat.

“Cultivated meat” reminds me of the term “lab-created emerald”.

Get FedGov out of the equation, and the price of [real] meat will drop to reasonable and affordable levels.

[Brian Griffin]

“The analysis indicates that the cost of production of cultivated chicken could theoretically be reduced to $6.20 per pound”

[AFB-XYZ]

Or, am I just misunderstanding the word “cultivated”? (re my earlier post)

I thought the cows already did pretty well at “continuous manufacturing” when the bulls come around.

Immortalized Cells.

“The major disadvantage to using immortalized cells is that these cells cannot be considered “normal,” in that they divide indefinitely and sometimes express unique gene patterns not found in any cell type in vivo. Therefore, they might not have the relevant attributes or functions of typical cells. Also, after several passages, cell characteristics can change and become even more different from those of a normal cell.”

The “research” does not include the patenting of the process, the licensing and related fees, all of which will affect the OTC pricing. We'll stay will animal meats and animal fats and eschew everything made in a chemical factory. Ergo, to some government somewhere we will likely be seen as terrorists.....

Um...I do not think price is the problem with “cultivated meat”...the problem is no one except starving people want it.

“We need to remake nature because we’re smarter than God”.

[Bob434]

Making America great again could also make meat prices drop almost in half p4ice wise.

Manufactured meat is grown with cancer cells.

Doubleplus Good

I read the entire article and I can’t wrap my mind around a cultivated cellular meat product. Toward the end of the article it worked in “climate change.” I suppose to bolster the need for such a soylent green type of protein. I realize that at my age of 62 years I may not be able to appreciate this,but I can’t see something replacing delicious steak/ground beef/pork/sausage/REAL chicken/fish...I believe that God provides all that we need for sustenance with what he created. I would be extremely hesitant to try something like this.

Good. The Left will buy more fake meat, dropping the price of real meat, making it more affordable for normal people...

[ptsal]

Fake is fake

[wildcard_redneck]

Lab scab! My favorite!

[Jonty30]

It would certainly allow those who don’t like meat because they are eating their friends an out.

Cultivated Tumor

[butlerweave]

If they make it in a Lab they can control everything about it which is VERY BAD
