I was in a street market in Seoul and smelled something really funky. It turns out it was deep fried silkworm larva. Even if I were ever tempted to try eating bugs, that smell would have put me off completely.
I just want to say this about lab-grown “meat.” We use fetal calf serum (FCS) to feed cells grown in labs. The serum is collected from fetuses collected from slaughtered cows at the slaughterhouse. The growth of “meat” in the lab, therefore, requires pregnant cows to be slaughtered. Those who are hyping lab-grown “meat” talk a big deal about how humanely their “meat” is produced by growing just a few cells collected from a living animal. They omit the part about feeding the cells FCS. They do use FCS. Some lab-grown “meat” company applied for and got FDA approval to sell their product for human consumption. I found the application for approval on the FDA website. In the application, it states that all serum used is from cows tested and verified to be free of mad cow disease. The bottom line is that if the radical vegetarians and vegans got their wish and stopped all use of animals for food, it would be impossible to grow an animal cell based fake meat. Because there wouldn’t be any FCS to feed cells.
FCS is sometimes called “FBS” for fetal bovine serum. Same thing.
Thank you for the information. Repellant but very germane. So much of what is never told, is purposely hidden, would change the public perception and derail profit or the advance of the liberal agenda.
The American public is being under assault from sectors of society we have thought we could trust but whom have been abusing our trust and manipulating us.
