Lab-grown meat, touted as the “cruelty-free” food of the future by everyone from the World Economic Forum to Hollywood mega-celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio, may have a fatal problem, according to a new Bloomberg story. The problem is that the materials used to make the product – “immortalized cell lines” – replicate forever, just like cancer. Which means, in effect, that they are cancer. Although these cell lines are widely used in scientific research, they’ve never been used to produce food before.
“Immortalized cells are a staple of medical research, but they are, technically speaking, precancerous and can be, in some cases, fully cancerous… [but d]on’t worry: Prominent cancer researchers tell Bloomberg Businessweek that because the cells aren’t human, it’s essentially impossible for people who eat them to get cancer from them, or for the precancerous or cancerous cells to replicate inside people at all.” – Bloomberg BusinessWeek
Industry types are “confident” that eating such products poses no risk – although there isn’t any hard data – but it’s not difficult to see, even if the products are “proven” safe, how people might be put off by the thought they’re eating a glorified tumor. All the evidence suggests that the most prominent producers of these new products – including the “Big Three” startups, Believer Meat, Eat Just and Upside Foods – are doing their best to avoid confronting the issue in public. But whether they’ll be able to keep do so after this latest blast of high-profile negative publicity, remains to be seen. The story comes at a time of growing difficulty for new alternatives to traditional animal products, especially so-called “plant-based meats”.

Remember when liberals used to whine about “Frankenfoods”?
Oh soooooooooo gross and disgusting. They are geo-engineering away our real food, stabbing our real meat with mRNA and we let them do it to us.
WTH?
how would you like your tumor cook?
yum
there seems to be an entire movement based on making us do things we dont want to do
its kinda like tyranny but with a different name
Parts is parts...
THINK about this statement - “immortalized cell lines” – replicate forever.
Where else are these “immortalized cell lines” used????
How will we know they are growing “chicken” instead of something way more sinister and reprehensible?
That’s one title I didn’t need to read right after breakfast of fried eggs....Yuck!
Soylent Green is startin’ to look pretty good. 😏
It is called slow suicide as we watch them force us into their web by removing everything that God gave us to nourish ourselves and survive.
They are working to starve us and starving people will eat anything to fill their guts.
enslavement and death. What a future.
Planned extermination of the evil meat eaters.
We don’t. Soylent Green is people.
BTW, what's with National Pulse? It is probably the highest linked site on FR in recent weeks.
“Lab-grown meat, touted as the “cruelty-free” food...”
Yeah, to everything BUT humans. SMH
“Yes, I’ll have the fried malignant chicken tumors and fries. Barbecue sauce on the side, please.”
Soylent Green.
Not quite, only the rich and "elite" will have meat. I'm still waiting to read that the White House is serving fake meats at a formal event. Let them skip the real meats and serve this guests. When that happens, it'll be news.
I don’t see it that way
When we replicate skin from placenta for wound repair. The cells replicate to a certain point but don’t keep growing.
Soylent Green is people.
I don’t see what the big deal is. Pfizer will come up with a vaccine to fight whatever nasty disease you may get from eating genetically altered meat. AND it will be “safe and effective”. Now, don’t you feel better?
