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.

Who is the man woMAN BG’s really married from puke duke?
He has over populated by having 3 kids. That’s one more than two to replace him and the wife. Better yet, why did he have any kids if the world is already over populated. Do as he says, not as he does. Some are more equal than others.
It is amazing how meat hating vegans want to turn everything into meat.
Gates is a filthy rich carnivore so he’d still get his wagyu steaks.
He’d sure know the right people to flip electronic votes.
GGAM....just go off into the sunset quietly and enjoy your billions...
BillGatus of Borg is a wannabe Bond Villain.
Show us the way Bill Gates... YOU eat fake meat for two years then tell us how you like it.
While you’re at it fly commercial business class for the next two years and have toilets installed in your home like the ones middle class Americans can afford.
Pelosi and her $13 a pint ice cream.
I can roll fresh horse manure balls in powdered sugar, but they are NOT donut holes!!
Ah, so he wants us to go without so that he can nosh all he wants.
This guy needs to go back to his vibrators, Gerbils, feathers, and dildos.
I think we should kill Bill Gates and feed him to our dogs.
Nations don’t eat; people do. And fake meat costs way more than the real thing.
Is there ANYTHING Bill Gates doesn’t know???
what does Fauci have to say about that???
