Washington Free Beacin ^ | June 13, 2024 | Adam Kredo

A Pentagon-funded company is seeking proposals to feed America’s soldiers lab-grown meat in a bid to "reduce the CO2 footprint" at Defense Department outposts.

BioMADE, a public-private company that has received more than $500 million in funding from the Defense Department, announced earlier this month that it is seeking proposals to develop "innovations in food production that reduce the CO2 footprint of food production at ... DoD operational environments," according to an online announcement.

These include "novel cell culture methods suitable for the production of cultivated meat/protein," or lab-grown meat, a product that is still in its experimental phases. This type of meat is grown in a lab from animal cells with the aid of other chemicals, and has emerged as a flashpoint in debates about the efficacy and morality of manufacturing meat products without slaughtering animals.

while they are at it, why not force them to eat other known products without knowing the long term effects of those items? it woudl be just and risky- Can you imagine the lawsuits down the road when it is determined that ‘oops- we didn’t know people woudl react so badly physically to fake meat- guess we shoudla run animal trials for far longer”

Soldiers should NEVER be treagted as lab rats in human trials- IF other folks want to volunteer- fine0- but forcing people, especially soldiers who must obey or be dishonorably discharged, is not acceptable! Ever!

Not my military. I would dissuade youngsters from joining these days.

These military should be given the ability to opt out at being used as guinea pigs for the government.

They are soldiers, not lab rats.

The military is having a massive enlistment and retention problem. This is going to help that how?

I recommend experimenting with it on federal prison inmates, if they want live humans as their test subjects.

As a follow up to a broad order that all service members are required to consume the drek, fire all those who do not comply. Like with the vax. Naturally that will produce a more combat ready force.

Should be a test run before exposing the troops.
I suggest a year long test in the Congressional cafeteria.
Follow up testing at all embassies and official state department functions.

It’s been tried. The vegetable omelet wasn’t called the “Vomelet” for nothing.

PETA approves of this message, but I doubt many recruiters are happy about it.
