Pentagon Wants to Feed Troops ‘Experimental’ Lab-Grown Meat to ‘Reduce CO2 Footprint’
Free Beacon ^ | June 13 | 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.

Would the Trans Troops be excused, because this fake meat might react poorly to their “overly hormoned”, post op conditions?

I thought we were past the point in our society when we use our soldiers in experiments.

This pretty much broadcasts to our enemies that complete lunatics are in control of the DoD

The Army has a history of feeding troops some nasty stuff. I seem to recall reading about “ embalmed beef” that were Army rations during the Civil War.

The person in charge of this should be fired immediately.

I’m glad I got my son in although his mother (ex-wife) hated the military and it took a lot of work to get him to join, but he now has his experiences with the Army and the 10th Mountain Division and will have those all his life.
