Food producers are encouraging climate-conscious consumers to make the switch from plant-based alternatives to lab-grown exotic meats in a bid to preserve the planet.
‘Cultivated’ lion burgers, tiger steaks and zebra sushi rolls are among the products being pitched by a food-tech startup, that it hopes will eventually be made widely available for purchase.
Once the products have passed regulatory approvals, Primeval Foods said Michelin-starred restaurants in London will be among the first to sample its dishes, with further plans to expand on a larger scale, even to local supermarkets.
Cultivated meat is a production method that allows companies to produce food from any species without slaughtering animals.
It is produced by cultivating animal cells directly, which allows producers to replicate the sensory and nutritional profiles of conventional meat.
The idea behind the method is that it eliminates the need to raise and farm animals for food and is broadly regarded as a means of conserving land and water, preserving habitat, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and preventing manure pollution and antibiotic overuse.
Since cultivated meat is not yet produced on an industrial scale, there is still relative uncertainty around its benefits in preserving the planet.
But scientists extensively conclude that the overall environmental impacts of cultured meat production are substantially lower than those of conventionally produced meat.
According to a study on its environmental impacts, production of cultivated meat involves approximately 7–45 per cent less energy use than conventionally produced European meat.

And 100% less taste. Other than that, it's just dandy.
Soylent green.
Meanwhile, beef is still on the menu at Patliament’s dining room/s.
First, why at all? Second, why lion meat?
Oh, well.
I wonder who saved the planet before these geniuses were born?
They don’t dare call it hamburger because it tastes so bad, but nobody knows what lion meat tastes like so when it tastes like siht you just assume that’s what lion tastes like.
RUN!!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS!!! CAT FOOD?? WHO EATS CATS......other ALF?
Isn't a "rule of thumb" that the flesh of carnivores is generally not good-tasting?
Regards,
But it’s good for the environment, and only twice the price of what you would pay for real meat.

“in a bid to preserve the planet.”
Yes, the planet is rotting, we have to preserve it by getting it to the proper temperature which we are never told just what that is or get the CO2 level to the proper percentage which again we are never told what that is. It’s been 0.04% forever which is pretty much zero point zero but of course that has to be reduced as if we have any power to change 5,000 trillion metric tons of atmosphere in the first place.
What about puppy and kitten meat?
Is this an April Fools joke?
Has the media gotten the requisite soundbite from Carole Baskin at Big Cat Rescue yet? That almost seems to be a legal requirement...
/here, kitty kitty
/justice for Don Lewis
I remember years ago reading excerpts from Trappers journals and other interviews of Trappers from the 1800s and several indicated that they enjoyed cat meat as one of their favorites. So I’m assuming they were talking about mountain lions or cougars or such, and as a species or genus perhaps cats do taste good... But I’ll never know that.

This isn’t good. It’ll be a gateway to artificial domestic cat meat.
Who’ll get rid of the little bastards then???
Same problem as fake ivory - this instills the interest in the real thing. Worse actually, in this case as we’re talking about a consumable item.
“Hmm…pretty good - how close is it to the real thing? “
Sure it does. Yup, I really believe that.
Right……
