Q: Do you think plant-based and lab-grown meats could be the full solution to the protein problem globally, even in poor nations? Or do you think it’s going to be some fraction because of the things you’re talking about, the cultural love of a hamburger and the way livestock is so central to economies around the world?
A: For Africa and other poor countries, we’ll have to use animal genetics to dramatically raise the amount of beef per emissions for them. Weirdly, the US livestock, because they’re so productive, the emissions per pound of beef are dramatically less than emissions per pound in Africa. And as part of the [Bill and Melinda Gates] Foundation’s work, we’re taking the benefit of the African livestock, which means they can survive in heat, and crossing in the monstrous productivity both on the meat side and the milk side of the elite US beef lines.
So no, I don’t think the poorest 80 countries will be eating synthetic meat. I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.
So for meat in the middle-income-and-above countries, I do think it’s possible. But it’s one of those ones where, wow, you have to track it every year and see, and the politics [are challenging]. There are all these bills that say it’s got to be called, basically, lab garbage to be sold. They don’t want us to use the beef label.

if it’s synthetic....it’s not beef.
Leave us alone.
Fix your software.
How about measuring his gas output just from opening his mouth?
I am of the opinion that is carbon emissions From just talking are not offset by any wisdom he might provide.
Gates has the patent on “Soylent Green”....Overpopulation = infinite supply of protein. I see where he is headed with this. He wants to corner the “Soylent Green” market...kill two birds with one stone. (for those of you who didn’t see the movie, “Soylent Green is people!”
FUBG
Ah, Science Fiction becomes reality category: Soylent Green. Fun fact: the movie Soylent Green was set in 2022.
Yes, let’s have the “richest” nations be at the whim of scientists in a lab engineering proteins for human consumption; a lab that can be shut down at any time, cutting off the supply.
No thanks, Bill. It’s yet another control mechanism in the arsenal of despots.
Gates needs to mind his own business.
Billionaires preaching how others should live.
Note also that Gates never even finished college and has no degree in many of the categories of expertise he spouts about.
His greatest input to Microsoft was not the engineering but the marketing and it was by marketing as much or more than the engineering that Microsoft gained its dominance.
Minus Gates’ billions he is an “authority” on nothing.

Arrogant punk, you can eat MY share.
you cannot replicate the amino acids and all the other wonderful things that beef has in it, that makes people grow bigger with bigger smarter brains, out of a fungus.
But is Bill saying that beef should be forbidden to middle-class nations (ie. Western civilization)? we eat worms so 3rd worlders who have no ambition to be anything other than 3rd worlders can eat meat? Maybe Bill should leave for Mars early.
When he can get Windows to not freeze or bluescreen for longer than a week, then he’ll be ready to play Master of the Known Universe.
Another Control Freak A**hole. “I don’t want to eat something; therefore, YOU shouldn’t eat it.” Eat what you want, Billy Boy, and leave me alone.
Bill Gates should FOAD.
He is bad in every way for this world and does not live by his own dictates.
>>(for those of you who didn’t see the movie, “Soylent Green is people!”
But the wealthy still got fresh vegetables and steaks even with “dead oceans”.
He’s such a jerk. Who the hell does he think he is...and we’re his peons?
I’d give it a try. You never know you might like it, especially if it’s healthier. As for his making it mandatory I’d tell him his butthole was meant for 2-way transmission.
Another example of “rules for thee, but not for me.” Bill and Warren love a good steakhouse. Bill loves a good T-Bone.
