I'm not a vegetarian, a vegan, or an animal rights activist by any means but I think this is something that's just obviously a better choice for everyone once it becomes economically viable at scale. If we can have real meat without killing animals and without the negative environmental impact the agricultural industry has, that would be amazing. I look forward to seeing this and other competing companies progress towards that goal!
Lab Meat requires Bovine Fluid which comes from Slaughtering Pregnant cows so now it's not vegetarian.
@@TheWaleedKhalid
Are you being serious or joking?
@@TheWaleedKhalid That is no longer the case. They used to use Bovine Fluid in the early stages but with the mass production they use a plant based derived fluid.
Correct
It's not just that, once we mastered this tech it will also pave the way to more culture growing like growing VEGETABLES AND FRUITS in the lab, even make them grow far faster, and not season reliant. If our CRISPR tech advances further, we can even manipulate the physical make up of the cultured food to make them easier to store, eat and digest, increase their shelf life, and even make them far more healthier than traditional food. Vertical scaling also means far less land area needed for food production. Then there's also the benefit of paving the way to growing Organs not just Tissues, and we can go even further by using the tech to grow stem cells outside the body and store them for future medical use!
Massive leap for humanity. Great work to everyone working on this. I can't wait to see the company reach scale and bring down the price.
Given how how the prices dropped in the past few years, I cannot see cost being a problem. Growing a huge animal for years just to throw away most of it, is simply inefficient.
I wonder how much resources it takes to make it vs the standard one. Does it consume less water/electricity over the same quantities produced by standard meat?

@@Nekr0n35 Oddly enough, eating human flesh via this technology would be ethically superior to eating non human animals. There would be a consenting donor for the original cells from a biopsy. We can not get consent from non human animals.
@@someguy2135 as if getting consent from animals to eat them matters.
Amazing video. Rollercoaster of emotions. I bet the Veterinary dad would not be any prouder seeing his son potentially revolutionize our world and save millions, maybe billions, of animal lives.
Not only animal lives, but human lives. Animal agriculture is one of the leading drivers of environmental degradation, water pollution, wasted resources (like fresh water), and climate change. Current standard practices in animal ag greatly increases the chances of more pandemics and epidemics from zoonotic diseases, as well as antibiotic resistant pathogens.
That will.not save any lives, contrary that will put livestock animal spiecies into extinction at a cost of something disgusting and far more unhealthy to eat.
I’m wondering if the world liders will eat that , not to long ago turdo was in a steak restaurant, and burning fuel with his private plane, sounds like we will own nothing and. Be happy about 😊
It's a bit false to say this will save animals lives. If it takes off then those animals won't ever actually exist. But I get what you're saying, an animal won't exist to be led to slaughter and experience death for sustinance on an industrial scale.
YOU KNOW WHAT IS BOVINE FETAL SERUM ? Well they need that to grow meat in lab ,….
People who think this is gross should see how chicken nuggets and other meat products are made. This is arguably more natural as well.
Maybe so. But when a person wants to depopulate and owns this co it is disturbing since you have zero clue to what's being put in it..

I'm vegan but I would eat this. Very happy to see this field grow. I turned vegetarian as a kid after eating a pet chicken and getting sad. Relatable
I am not vegan, but I would switch to lab Meat as soon as it is available and reasonably affordable.
@@huckleberryfinn6578 I am confused. My Vegan sisters told me this is not vegan and she would never even consider it. I have no idea about vegans but is she wrong?
@@patrick-bu3eq FBS is not used anymore by larger cultivated meat companies, it would be super expensive and not enough. They all use synthetic growth media.
@@darkwowpg It depends on the reason someone is vegan i would guess. If somene is vegan because they dont want to hurt other living creatures, or hurt the envrionment, than switching to this would be obvious. But some people do it for religious reasons, like hindus, they would probably not change even if its lab grown. And than there are those that dont understand it and are irrational and wont eat it because reasons.
@@darkwowpg They are wrong
If it doesnt involve the killing part , there is no reason for a vegan to not eat lab-grown meat
Funny to think that this will likely be the norm in the future and the natural meat will end up being considered a rare delicacy.
it will probably go the way that we see people who still carry traditions of eating monkey brains or dolphins, looked down upon and in fact shunned and ostracized. nobody will be able to comprehend how we were able to accept factory farming as normal.

They could do fish fillets, assuming the price would be the same it would be economically viable already.
Ground meat is easier to start, fish filets may be difficult since a lot of time needs to be spent on perfecting the right mix and layering of different cells for texture and consistency
We need cultivated fish.. Considsring all the Micro plastics in the ocean
You like fish sticks ...
@@feeshtacos Lol yes I like fish sticks in my mouth
This is already being done by a company called finless foods.
My concern is what ingredients are used to feed the cells.
😳😳😳
Plants, just like the ones the real animals eat, it causes the cells to grow. I will be glad when they start selling this meat as it will be a kinder world and much better for the environment. I personally will stick to eating plants.
Exactly
It will have to be plant based extracts to be economical, so I am not worried. The conventional meat market is already spreading nasty propaganda but they can't be trusted. The video actually mentions using corn, soy, and other plants.
Exactly, notice how they don’t mention anything else

In 1952, science fiction author Clifford D Simak wrote that farms would go out of business because food would be grown in vats. 70 years later, it seems like it might happen.
I will try this product. I think it's promising and will help feed humanity.
Not promising cause it costs more than our souls
I've been following the progress of this technology for years and it's so impressive how much it exploded recently! Well done guys! You are doing great stuff!
When he said “what comes next” I had to stop the video to post a comment. I imagined that the video was going to show the inside a slaughterhouse. If one has a soul, watching that, would be impossible-IMPOSSIBLE!
This method should be very efficient and profitable, because only meat is produced not the animals nonmeat infrastructure!
This is the most important technology towards mitigating climate change and tackling the ecological crisis. We need this urgently and at scale.
They make such a big deal out of 'how PERFECT does it taste?' When in reality, the fundamental factor is how economical can this be produced. Flavor and spices can be figured out. But if it costs $20 a pound, it won't make a dent in the global meat production industry.
Theoretically, it should end up cheaper than "regular" meat pretty fast once they finish scaling up everything and figuring out all the nooks and crannies of food production/distribution.
If they managed to get from $18,000 to $18 in 5 years, I think they'll manage to get from $18 to $1-2. It's just a question of time. Not of decades but of years.
It's a scalable technology. The price is based on marginal costs which have been decreasing by 10x every two years which means that by around 2025, prices will start to be comparable with regular meat. And since variable costs for producing lab meats is lower than that of growing animals and the costs are decreasing at a log rate every year, it's conceivable that it will continue to be decline thereafter and be cheaper than regular meat. Ground meat is often used as an input for different meat products, and if lab grown meat can be marginally cheaper, producers will start switching suppliers just as what has happened with the growth of non-dairy alternatives in the milk industry.
this is some sci-fi s#*t right there O_o If I could pay extra for meat that does not include animal suffering I'd do that in a blink of an eye. Hoping you guys make it and I'll be eating your Upside chicken fajitas in the near future!
If this gets to become truly mainstream it will even be far more cheaper than Traditional farm meat and may even pave the way to making households able to grow their own culture food if they're able to refine the procedure enough that it can be solely done by a machine the size of a common refrigerator! Imagine a future where each household has a staple Culture food maker appliances that can make 2kg of meat, fruits or vegetables you want everyday?
No
Love this attitude!
I’m a vegetarian because I hate animal suffering & my stomach isn’t a graveyard.
With that said, as far as my health/life?
I would NOT trust this at all!
@@GreatMindsSeekTruth Do you know what happens in the dairy and egg industries? Not only are they often more cruel than straight up meat production, but they also feed directly into the meat industry.

yikes!
I think that one of the biggest hurdles regarding growing cellular culture involves the nutrients that are used to grow the meat. I read somewhere that growing beef required the use of nutrients taken from a cow foetus (which is counter-productive). Glad to see they've solved that problem!
Yes, FBS is needed.
@@ooooneeee Not any more, they have solved that problem. See Upside Foods twitter account for the announcement made in Dec 2021.
It is from real meat muscle strands.

Update after one year: the FDA approved it! So the first step is done.
I am waiting for Dr. Fauci's opinion.
Ashlee always gets to cover the cool stuff!
Thank you for a very informative video, I think the issue with this will be that during R&D, competition between companies is a good thing and speeds up the road to market. However once the point is reached for large scale consumer retail then a lot of great work and time and energy will fall by the wayside as some companies dominate the market. For this to be of real benefit to humanity it would need an approach where the intellectual property rights are cheaply licensed worldwide so Global production can ramp up almost immediately. This is the kind of technology that needs global collaboration via an agreement at the relevant COP meeting when economic viability is reached.
They recently received a green light from the FDA.
I hope I am 100% wrong about this but I have a strong feeling "Lies By Omission" are taking place in all these discussions of Precision Fermentation.
As an Engineer {EE} I find this process fascinating with great potential except for some historic facts. Corporations never have the best interest of the public in mind. In just the last century, for example, steel roller mills allowed for massive amounts of white flour to be milled and the bran/germ sold off as cattle feed. Now most everyone could afford the "rich man's" white bread but didn't care up to 40 of the nutrients in wheat berries had been removed. It took a massive increase in pellagra, beriberi, anemia before government, in 1946, forced the millers to "Enrich" the flour and add back in, 4 nutrients out of the 40 they took out. Then it took until 1996 until the millers were forced to add folic acid to stem the increase in birth defects.
Even if you can assure 100% identical protein and texture, what about the nutrients and minerals in true natural products? Or must we also go the synthetic route for those? Put back in 5 +/- of the 40 +/- of the nutrients that don't exist in this product?
I can easily imagine how the Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab's, WEF, UN, Globalists of the world can and will manipulate our food supply to achieve their true goal of a massive depopulation of the planet by up to 90%.
McDonalds should make nuggets from these. People already think the nugget meat is fake...
Fantastic work! Please roll it out ASAP so we can take our grasslands, lakes, and wilderness back
This is a paradigm shift! I *can't wait* to find these products at my local supermarket!
No need for a supermarket. They will come in an e-mail. It is cyberfood, man !
I feel like watching the beginning of a history. Things just getting started and I believe this is the start of something big.
this way meat can be produced locally in large cities, reducing the fuel usage of large trucks and congestion on highways, also reducing spoilage by having a longer end-user shelf life
Cold Cuts, Sausages, chops 🥩 and steak cuts, weiners, buger patties...I am waiting for the replicated meat to be available.
Just a reminder that Soylent Green was people ♻️
So basically , if Bill Gates donate his cells to this factory can I taste big "Billy" burger out of him?
We learnt to cultivate plants and now we're starting to cultivate real meat by growing cells!
This will be great but it'll only really kick off once it is as cheap or cheaper than factory farmed meat, can't wait to have my chicken nuggets+strips replaced in 5-10 years
I saw this as an ad
I was not dissapointed
This is our future.
99% reduction in water use, about 90% land reduction, the ability to scale production in gigantic skyscrapers.. it just makes sense!
I think the message should mainly be that "no animals are killed". No need to wash it out and say that is for "economic reasons". The need to not inflict unnecessary suffering in others is a thing that even the most conservadurist meat eater would support.
The meat factory's looks just like a Buy-Oh lab.
I hope this company reach its goals and be famous in markets by making it cheaper and at mass production
A couple of decades ago, when I was a vegan in the nineties, I wondered why if human skin can be grown for grafting, why can't we grow hamburgers?

So basically, no chance of super virus from the livestock.

LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing this insightful video! I personally think this cultured meat is a great innovation in the food industry because it is more environmentally friendly (uses less water, produces less pollution) and more sustainable compared to regular meat. Amazing work!
Just make it cheaper than actual meat and people will buy it. Don't worry about the moral fluff bs just make it cheap.
OMG he was still missing his friend, the chicken. This was touching. So glad this new food tech is on its way to commercialization!
Very misleading of the guy to say “you grow a 2000 lb cow and cut it down to 40oz steak.” That’s not at all how the meat industry works. Every part of the animal is used, you just happened to buy the 40oz steak and someone else bought the other stuff
I am vegetarian for religious reasons and I definitely want this to succeed. Obv u can't call yourself vegetarian even if u eat this from an unslaughtered animal cause it's still meat. Those cells transform into meat and so for people who don't want to eat flesh of an animal, they won't eat this. But other than that this is fine. If u eat flesh of an animal fish etc you can't call yourself vegetarian. Rather you can call yourself an ethical non-vegetarian if you eat this cell-meat.
Vegos eat meat and dairy all the time, it's just whether they get caught or not.
With food delivery it's easier than ever to claim you are one for social reasons and to have a moral high horse.
Very cool! There's too much waste and pollution in animal agriculture, let's cut out all the deforestation and runoff.
16 minutes of what!. We couldnt see any part of the process and at the end they showed us a piece of "meet".... This looks like a commercial for the company! Marketing!
Cows will be out of work, who’s going to employ them?
Think about the cows!!
Their job is to die then? Wth go see a psychiatrist.

Ready to buy, If it's more expensive then I'll just eat it once a week or once a month. Just take my money, please
You guys have made this devoted vegan happy!!!!!!
I bet he doesn't eat it 😂
The most intriguing prospect for me is being able to go to a store and buy any portion of any species in the animal kingdom or even custom meats and dairy products. Just think if you are a Chef, the possibilities are endless.
that's a great achievement, the big challenge would be to make it cheaper than actual meat all over the world. I would eat it for a more expensive price tho
seeing how much work is put into raising just one cow compared to just pumping cells with food and getting raw meat, i think this one's gonna be really cheaper than raising cows
Let’s go Brandan , no jokes man ⁉️🤔🙅🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😂🥲😅🥵😴😴
I'm totally in, hopefully it won't be unaffordable
Super pumped. Can’t wait!
I think this is great!
I wish the process was more simple so I could grow some 50 gallon drums of meat.
That would be cool! Maybe one day we could grow meat in our kitchen.

Holy 🐄 Cow! Like literally, if this company IS gonna be successful it's going to be Apple or Tesla of meats. Questioning the status quo, helping an industry survive the demand and I mean demands both in consumption and production. If Ashley says it tastes like chicken, well it can at least help the food/meat industry by manufacturing products that can help ease both on the manufacturing and consumption side of the market needs.
The ag industry sold its soul years ago, traded locally grown, highly nutritious food for large scale industrial production. The price we’re paying now is a generation of people disconnected from the source of food and who are buying into the likes of highly processed, food-like products. We are learning more and more how holistically grown, whole foods are not just important for our health but also the health of the planet. This video highlights more of our folly, thinking we produce something better than what we can produce in harmony with nature. These are propaganda pieces that show a shiny facade, leading the unsuspecting to believe there really is an “easy button”, but that does not exist. I encourage anyone reading this to find local farmers, begin connecting with with where food comes from. It will be so much more satisfying and fulfilling than this artificially grown, vat-grown “meat.”
I really wish them success. I'd actually prefer this to printed vegetable, that other solutions bring.
I want it in my kitchen
Once they hammer out a successful McNugget this will take off
RIP to your Dad, no doubt he's looking down on you and so proud
I’m all for ending the savage cruelty of CAFOs and the massive negative impact that industrial meat production has on the earth… and human health, for that matter.
BUT what are these ‘nutrients’ that are fed into the vats of animal cells? what INPUTS are needed to grow meat in a lab, and where are they sourced from?
They're going to sell this as Frozen food.
If people are willing to drink protein powder, this is a huge leap.
So what exactly is used as the grower “clean nutrition”/what are people truly consuming?
Soilent green is people !!! d:O
No one asked the ethical question - can we grow human mean and eat it? :)
One of my thoughts. Besides of the WHY, I think depends also on how they obtain those initial cells, which also influence the possibility for a vegan to eat the chicken or not.
@@giovannigiorgio6406 Nobody cares about vegans
Not addressed in the video are, if this is successful, the ramifications to the current meat farming industry, cultural implications, etc.

What a liar. Half a year later, we found out that those huge bioreactors behind them are fake. Well, technically they're not fake, just not functional.

Heck, their employees even had an inside joke about how they're the next Theranos.
Brilliant video, thanks very much for the insight
I love meat. Meat is currently a huge part of my diet, and I am so down for synthetic meat. I find alternative meat very hard to get behind: the texture is always off, it doesn’t taste very good, and most importantly, it doesn’t have the same nutrient profile that I eat meat for. Synthetic meat is going to completely change the paradigm and hopefully it well prevent us from having to move to bugs for protein 😂
Try the Impossible range or Beyond.
Try end of world by global warming
This is a way better alternative thinking about human health, than the impossible meats out there all made out from weird derivatives of plants.
