Ive long believed that rat meat was the coming source of protein. Rats can be raised easily, they breed wildly and they eat anything. Aye, but do they go quietly into that good night? And do we want to eat what eats anything?

For that one serving, 6.7lbs of grains, 600 gallons of water, and 75 square feet of grazing land were usedI call bull on these numbers.
Figure that a side of beef weighs what? 500 lbs? Times 2 for 1000 lbs total. That's 4000 quarter pounders, if you were to grind it all up. (which I wouldn't. I like filet. :-) )
Means that the cow eats over 12 tons of grain. And took up over 6 acres of grazing land, on top of that.
Even halving the numbers would be ridiculous.

Well, yes, but it doesn’t have to be “marbled in”; you can toss a lump of fat in with the meat as it’s being ground, as is done with ground venison.

I wonder how the cells meant to be used to make this synthetic meat are going to be grown?
Will they be fed using serum from fetal calves killed at the time their mothers are slaughtered, the way cells in labs all over the year are fed?
Somehow, I don’t see this technique as ever becoming cheap, or resulting in fewer animals being killed.

Yeah, see my post #46. I’m no cattle farmer, but the numbers made no sense to me, either.

Good numbers.
I had a friend that raised beef critters, when I was a kid. As I recall, it was about a year from him getting the calf to him selling it. (I'm sure it's different from critter to critter....)
Anyhoo, so figure - 30 lbs * 365 days = about 5-1/2 tons of forage. Total. Grazing, grains, the works. Which still sounds a little high, but I could buy it, I suppose.
Man, I've shovelled a lot of cow flops. Copious though they are...a cow just can't PROCESS as much food as the article claims.
