- It’s meat, but no animals were harmed in the making of this burger.
Factory farming’s attempts to keep up with increasing meat consumption are likely unsustainable. Meat grown from animal cells is positioning itself as the solution. Can lab-grown meat live up to its lofty promises?
This week Quartz News visits the policymakers and food scientists working to determine the future of meat.

If it's safe to eat and tastes good for a decent price then sure, i'm down
Ditto
We can only know it is safe in decades.
@@luavasconcelos1637 It should be safe. The liquids they use are merely cultivators to encourage or trick the meat tissues to multiply as if they are in a normal body.
This has been done in the medical field where they grow skin cells to help burn victims for a long time now.
[Squatterloki] iThanks.
Well obviously you'll change then.
There'll be no downsides then.
Imagine in decades people will think eating meat from died animal bodies is barbarism
Unlikely. The barbarism is how they treat the animals in the farms, not the fact that we eat them
@@erwinmoreno23 they will probably see both things as barbarism. truth is we are eating what is available at the time and we work hard on changing that.
They won’t. We will figure out you can’t cheat nature with soyence. We will be restoring grassland and eating cattle raised on it. This frankenmeat shit will be vegan food.
@@erwinmoreno23 Yes, but the fact that we still kill animals will also probably be considered barbaric. Killing for a tasty meal is pretty unethical.
Negev So well said!
I don't see how this meat _can't_ be called meat. If you cut off a nib of wheat, and you sowed it in soil, then out came a wheat plant, they'd let you call it wheat! At the end of the day, wheat 1 & 2 have the _same_ contents. It's just that instead of wheat, it's a strip of bacon. These guys just can't handle the Jandal with innovation and all.
I've never thought of the wheat comparison. It really is spot on
Well they don't want to call it meat because they know it is going to kill their industry. They are deathly afraid of the havoc lab-grown meat is going to cause to the livestock industry. (Spoiler alert: it's going to completely wipe it off the map)
why? because the meat lobby tries to save their business by interfering with the competition.
@@treyshaffer but how will they make a rack of ribs? Lab grown bones with muscle attached? At what point are we just growing animals in test tubes for meat? Lol It's pretty interesting. If we grow a complete animal minus the brain, is that ok?
Well insulin is not called insulin on label. It is called hRinsulin. That's human recombinant insulin. But given there being no alternative or the alternative being labelled even worse. So people still call human recombinant insulin, insulin.
The funny thing is that this meat is more meat than Almond Milk is actually Milk.
hatedumb what are you talking about? almond milk is CLEARLY milk. to get it, you just need to squeeze dem almond tiddies
Milk, noun "the white juice of certain plants"
@@Andulvar Ah yes, the cow tree
theres already milk secreting bacteria, inlan cows milk is also a thing
you cant MILK plants, but Perhaps one day we can Clone Animal Milk.
2019: I only eat farm raised meat
2040: farm meat Eeewww..
lmaooooo
I really Hope It is like this in the Future
This is both ironic and hilarious, if the price of lab grown meat still exceeds that of conventional one, the government and industrial conglomerates would not give a serious concern at all about how modern meat cultivation plants mistreat the animals no matter how much attention the humanitarian groups has cried for.
But if the price falls below the traditional way, there will be no time before the animal slaughter becomes completely condemned and shamed in a global scale. The politics would only act in an economic beneficial way, never in a humanitarian way, never!
Remin Jing That’s when consumers come in.
For example,conventional straws are being reduced because of consumer pressure despite alternative straws being a bit more pricey to make.
If consumers prefer the lab grown meat and the production cost is close enough, governments and industrial conglomerates will follow.
Cost is anthroprocentric. I don't say that as a sociatel criticism. I say that if you don't care for cost, you are anti-human. Cost always equals cost for some group of humans, usually a big one.
If it got far enough they would simply hijack it, after all it's all their property.
this isn't just about humanitarianism... it's also about environmentalism and land use
Ok boomer
I’m down if it tastes the same and is the same price (or cheaper) it will be a success.
Most likely. However i dont think we can replace the high quality meat, only the cheap ones. Which is fine, most is cheap quality for super markets and chain restaurants
i dont eat meat. but i think this will be the best option. since there would be no butchering of animals.
Funny you don’t bother to question the nutrition of this product. You ppl are insane if you think this is what 2 million years of human evolution has brought us to. This shit is not food. It’s simulated meat protein devoid of micronutrients. They are going to take lab made chemical crap to fortify this shit and it will still not be healthy and 50 years from now, we will find out this fake meat shit is making ppl sicker and even fatter. Wake up. You are being poisoned. Feed lot meat became a thing for profit over animal welfare and our health. It produced sick animals with weak immune systems that needed to be pumps with antibiotics that created super strains of bacteria. Feed lot meat is less nutritious, and unbalanced to favour artery clogging omega 6 fats. But it is cheater to the superior pasture raised so you ppl. Opted with your wallets and 60 years later you pay for it with obesity, diabetes and heart disease. You didn’t learn your lesson and now you want to eat lab meat. Stupid.
@@GoBooYourself do you know exactly how it's made
Nevan Leong they are culturing muscle cells. They are replicating proteins. This is not how food is made. We can already take plant protein and process it into isolates for easy digestion but that does not make it nutritious. This protein goo won’t have vitamins, minerals and other nutrients found in meat. To add them in will require more chemical processing to fortify the food which will alter taste, increase costs, add to the carbon emissions cost of this product and pretty much make a processed product. We already have processed meat replacement products that are plant based. This shit is meant to feed poor ppl cheaply with no regard for nutrition, ethics or safety. Poor ppl will be guinea pigs for this crap that they will rush to market and 50 years later we will find out it’s toxic even though it’s suppose to be just like meat. Factory farming was suppose to be just like pasture raised meat but 60 years on we realize it’s toxic. Lab meat and plant based meat will make ppl sick.
As soon as they make this for sale I'm buying this from now on.
@@liorkosoy8012 Were you drunk when you wrote this?
First of all : Lab Grown*
Second : He literally just said that the moment lab grown meat is buyable he will completely switch to it.
@@Orome96 lmao i read that incorrecrly 😂😂
In the distant future where lab meat is commonplace, I can see live animal meat becoming a trend like organic food is today
This will 100% happen.
But dude, the lab meat will be better than any animal meat today. Marbling will simply be a variable that is engineered for. Once lab meat is commonplace, there will be no animal meat on the market because it would give literally zero benefit over lab-grown meat.
surfie007 No, it would be seen as inhumane
@@treyshaffer there would still be people who prefer eating something that was grown, even if it will become objectively worse and extremely expensive. It would be like recreational hunting, a thing for pretensions elitists
@@treyshaffer there's no benefits for parents to choose snake oil instead of vaccines either. Stupid people will always exist

VEGETARIAN AND MEATLOVERS
LIKED THAT
*Vegan and meat lovers
Vegetarians follow their diets because of health reasons.
Most vegans follow their diets because of ethical reasons.
Tausif Karim
That’s not true. And vegetarian is a umbrella term. Vegan falls under vegetarian.
Marquis Vegan
You seem so condescending.
The only claim I made was that vegans fall under vegetarian, and that not all vegans are for ethical reasons.
Unless you can speak for all vegans, you are wrong. Because if even one vegan does not fit that criteria, even as an outlier, that would be a lie. And I know vegans who follow vegan diets for health reasons. Soo...
You know, someone can be a “cook” but not know everything about cooking or claim to represent all lawyers. Someone can be religious without knowing everything about their religion or claim to represent all religious people.
@Marquis Vegan some do it for ethics, some do it for environmental reasons and some do it for health reasons. If you do it for ethics, does not mean that everyone has the same reasons.
@@tausifkarim8861 I'm a vegetarian because I can't kill an animal. and eat vegan most times.
japan and europe and usa: we're doing it to be humanitarian
china: btch pls, i'm doing it to feed my growing middle class
@Almighty God George Soros #420 #GetRekd Because the Chinese government is authoritarian, you think it is okay for their people to starve. Also, culturing animal products may reduce poaching, if we can replicate furs, ivories, endangered animal meat, etc...
@Almighty God George Soros #420 #GetRekd Actually no. For a country of 1.4billion people, they're not doing too bad. If the US had even had half that many citizens we'd be living like Mad Max.
@Sol Invictus I guess I'm competent now
underrated thread
lol if actually think japan, europe and the eusa is doing it for humanitarian reasons... you're delusional...
Let's make this mainstream
No.
Yes
It CAN'T be mainstream, you f****** morons. Only an idiot dumb enough to buy into "Solar FREAKIN' Roadways!" would believe in this pipe dream. Goddamn Hyperloop kids.
@@MickeyD2012 ok boomer
This only works in 1st world countries where people actually are brainwashed to think cell-based meat is the new thing. Lots of asian and middle-eastern countries would never accept such awful concept into their daily life. It doesn't fit their culture and it definitely doesn't fit in their dishes. Heck some asians even eat baby mice and other living creatures. You think they will switch over to plant based ''meat'' without any good nutrition? Fake meat only fits these whiny new ''woke'' lgbt vegans whom cry about everything and want to change the world to fit their ideology. Yikes. Fake meats would never dominate global markets and only looks to be something vegans eat in 1st world countries. They'll be just as malnourished as they are now after eating fake meat lmao
The conclusion that there will be both lab cultured meat and animal slaughtered meat in the future is very short sighted. This is like watching someone in the 1910s say, "Ah yes, this car invention will be useful, but horses will still have their place". Lab-grown meat is the next step, and animal slaughtered meat will be obsolete.
Once lab-grown meat can be produced at scale, it can be produced cheaper and more quickly than will be possible for animal slaughtered meat to compete with. Also, because of the fine-tuned control over the production of lab-grown meat, it will not only be cheaper, but better tasting, as things like the Wagyu flavor would simply be a matter of engineered taste.
I agree. When he said that, I was like "why?". If it is more environmentally efficient and less abusive, and tastes the same, why would a consumer care? If you had the choice between a cell cultured burger and a slaughtered burger, picking the ladder will be as old fashioned as saying women shouldn't have the right to vote. Of course it's going to be a long process to transfer over, but eventually it will.
There's always going to be rich people who want "real meat" and it unlikely that lab cultured will be able to match high quality wagyu by the time lab cultured meat is all over the place.
@@TheTaXoro regular meat would become luxurious and statistically insignificant.
Moreover, there are luxurious things you can do only with this technology, like growing muscles of Olympics champions for expensive dishes. I'm pretty sure people would start buying that.
And horses still have their place. They are own by the rich from being owned by regular people. In the future rich people will have the meat, and you will have roach protein to eat.
You could easily argue that the horse and car analogy is underestimating how drastic the difference is, as horses in our modern society have far more use than animal slaughtered meat will have in the future.
100 years later:
100% natural all organic animal-born meat
At 50% more price with precisely the same quality
@@schuylerpablico8300 Just like that 'organic' label, I hate that fad. Most of that shit isn't organic anyways, it organic is anything that lived and gmo plants and animals lived so they're organic.
@@rollog1248 that's the "natural" label. The "Organic" label is very hard to get and maintain, it is also rigorously enforced.
Also, GMOs are not considered organic.
Hopefully More like 20 years, and a bunch of people are going to be dumbasses and fuel bad practices because of “muh nostalgia”. I unironically hope they just sell these lab grown meats as regular meat, because that’s what it is.
@@amfram Or sell it as "better meat" because its not full of toxins and antibiotics ;)
This channel is highly underrated
@Anubhav Kesarwani why do you say that?
Growing livestock for the worlds population now is kind of like how managing the sewage of the population of Rome probably was before the advent of sanitation and pumps... It's a really awkward phase and I hope it ends soon.
When I was younger I legit thought meat was made similarly to this... like I thought they just took parts of the animal for the meat and then I was so shocked and upset when I found out they actually killed animals to get meat... Hopefully this works so they don't have to kill animals in the future if they do not need to
All animals will be killed. Who's going to feed them?
@@curlyhairdudeify The thing is animals are bred for meat and the conditions on factory farms that they are raised in are horrible...
In the future when this happens less animals will be bred for this reason so there won't be as much of our food going to have to go to feeding them
@@mugge47 Food is solely grown to feed animals??? Do you even know how expensive that would be; they eat animal feed made from processed food byproducts. All animals are raised in horrible farms??? Stop watching Peta. Also, you didn't even provide any related material to my comment. Are all farm animals going to be set "free" once there is no need for them anymore??? Or who is going to feed them? Are they all going to be killed, genocided?
@@curlyhairdudeify you do realize that food is already being grown just to feed animals though right?
@@curlyhairdudeify Also why are you so concerned about where the farm animals are gonna go like how tf am i supposed to know?! All I know is once lab grown meat is cheaper and easier to mass produce then it will not be profitable for people who raise cattle/factory farms to continue producing meat so they will have to do something else
"Will cell cultured meat live up to that promise?" Yes...given enough time, and of course, it won't be a perfect road without obstacles. But yes. Time to perhaps look into investing stock in some of these companies, because this IS the future.
Is it weird that i always knew that this how the meat in the future will be like. Like people dont have to kill animals anymore because we can just make meat at the same time controll the quality of it to the point which eating meat is the same as eating vegetable.
I will not stop eating animals until I can grow meat from a seed.
Don't forget it doesn't stop at animals or meat.
I think most people are missing the biggest problem we have : we're wasting a huge amount of food. If you knew the amount of food thrown away every year, it's actually terrifying.
The reasoning can be counterintuitive, but it's because throwing away some food is cheaper than making the exact amount of nutrition needed.
If your concern is about starving people in other countries, remember: US had tried to introduce genetically modified crops to Africa so they could feed people more effectively (some heat and disease resistance plus more edible mass per year), but the gift was destroyed due to prejudice winning over common sense.
most people in this planet aren't wasting food, especially in developing nations. the problem here is our relationship with food and death/killing in general. if we were forced to drive in the part of the town were animals are slaughtered and collect our fresh meat we'd consume less. i have always found that europe/america/australia are the cause of the cancer in this planet with over consumption of all goods .
@@PHlophe you Clearly misread what I wrote lol
Yeah, like what’s in most nuggets, hot dogs, sausages and burger patties is “meat”
This will definitely take over the market. It’s safer to eat, it’ll probably end up being cheaper, and it frees up tons of land. It also tastes good, those veggie burgers are disgusting. I know I’m switching to this when it comes out
"who lobbies for"
Yeah I don't listen after that.
Inb4 the Chinese government makes you redraw your map of China
BBQ?
Those are just hamburgers. Produce a brisket or ribs. They can only produce one type of meat from each animal. Just ground beef, just chicken breasts. Bone-in meats are a huge part of meat production.
These new bullshit products only fit into the lifestyle of vegans since they're already malnourished. Eat some fake meat without any nutrition folks. You might stay alive for only 20 years with a lifestyle like that lmao
Lab grown meat will b a game changer in meat industry....if it really meets d quality of natural meat..
I'm relieved the poor animals won't suffer so much in the future
Boo factory farms!! This is going to be the future.
So far as it's not overly stuffed with chemicals, am good with it
The problem with your statement is that you are made of chemicals too so is everything you consume. Just because you say the word chemicals to try to get some sort of reaction doesn't mean that *this* is how it works.
It will be made of bio-chemicals (like vitamins, carbs, proteins, and fats) and minerals (which are chemicals).
I think, you mean so long as it is not stuffed with unneeded chemicals, like antibiotics, excess hormones, biocides, the specific preservatives that may have negative health consequences (such as killing of probiotic organism), the specific additives that may have negative health consequences (such as impacting the successfully absorption of nutrition and zoo-nutrients), and does not have excess fat or sugar added for taste when it is not needed.
@@infini.tesimo Jesus Christ stop acting so obtuse, it's clear what he meant: additives that are harmful to human health
@@ArticBlueFox96 I don't think these processes of creating cultured meat are public knowledge, so you can't be sure what will end up in there yet. I'd imagine it's a very complicated process, which might require all kinds of 'chemicals'
I'd love to know what exactly constitutes that "nutrient dense liquid medium"
@@ArticBlueFox96 Exactly what I'm trying to say. Of course, if these kinds of meat are stuffed with potentially harmful chemicals, then it won't be good, especially when we're not sure the very specific circumstances under which it's produced. It's still in the early stages though, so I think think this would become mainstream sometime - if we're all bent on saving the environment and living healthy
Efficient does not mean it's good for you. The chemical tastes are not good either.
Omg this is like the first video since forever about lab grown!
I'm all for it. Maybe this will shut vegans up.
Lol
@@aviwad Of course vegans support it. It fits their malnourished lifestyle. Ever seen a healthy looking vegan? Me neither.
@@meneerknak1 You realize there's many high profile athletes, including lifters and everything else, who are vegetarian or vegan?
These are people competing at the peak of human performance.
I'm interested to hear more about how they're mimicking "cuts" of animal-grown meat. Meat is muscle and receives different levels of exercising, which results in different tastes, textures, tenderness-levels, etc., all based on its location in the animal.
Is this all going to be some homogeneous quasi-ground-beef? Or are they going to be able to give us more than that?
They've already started on a steak, its just quite small. You can search it on TH-cam. They also have begun making fish fillets.
Actually i saw a video where they used 3d printers
Soo, can we do this with human meat? Asking for a friend...
I think so lol
i would love to try human meat that way
Yup just think what's to come we may manage to go farther than even the atrocities of Rome.
@something anonymous What's wrong with lab grown human meat? My friend you say that like there was something wrong about the atrocities of Rome.
Actually we are already doing this for human "meat" In a small scale for medical purposes.
So basically cells taken from cancer tissue is immortal. If u give them enough nutrients they will keep growing indefinitely.
So medical researchers use this property for diagnosing virus infections.
Viruses can only grow inside living tissue... So there are cell lines of cancer cells are infected with viruses to grow them.
The same type technology that can also culture leather and creating designer leathers been introduced - this is not just about 'meat' but also eggs and diary products... the best info was brought to the TedX forums...one company is exploring all of it not just 'meat' per say?!?

Scientist and farmer what is the difference , is what future children will ask
Factory farming is an abomination. This is an amazing leap in technology and will spare SO much suffering and wasted resources. Meat without any animals harmed, without insane water and crop usage either. Glorious.
The name is important. It's meat so there for it should be called meat. I don't call a plant grown in a field anything different from that grown in a lab.
We need continuous updates for this before it loses support and steam
i think it should be tested on americans first , if nobody grows an extra horn then it can be exported.
Can't call lab grown meat for meat, but calling blended nuts milk is ok?
This is so important this company doesn't even know it
Let it be the clean meat revolution! May all this sadistic and torturing animal industry die fast and furious! Freedom for the animals and delicious meat for all creatures without slaughter and painful living just to be eaten! Thank you God for giving humanity so much creativity!
Lets just hope this will be very fast transition and soon there will be no slaughter houses! We must end this hell era of humans being cruel, selfish, egoistic sadists!

Trump Steaks would become different...
Hey don't go jumping the gun before we get them to aim it.
@Sergio Marc you don't contract DNA traits by just eating meat.
"Pseudo-cannibalizing idiots from the past" sounds like a great sales pitch tbh.

Please make it already, I'm tired on innocent animals, who are just dumb enough not to be able to dominate us being killed.
High-quality meat will still on the livestock and more healthier since price will go up and quality needs to be better than the cell-cultured one while moderate meat will be healthier since there won't be toxins, antibiotics, hormons etc. It only has two bad side price and mass production.

The questions I have : Will long term consumption lead to any side effects? As it is something new I believe long term lab tests are not yet 100% established. This might be fine for consumption for 1 year, 5 years, but who knows, longer exposure might lead to unknown side effects. It is after all lab grown, what goes on behind the scenes you will never know. Of course, that is the same for our current agriculture, the use of pesticides, steroids, antibiotics etc but at least in the current market we already know which brands to trust. If this were to become a thing, who can guarantee that the first few companies to mass produce this will not cut corners to reduce cost to make this more affordable to the masses?
and who can guarantee that lab grown meat will have same nutrient profile as real grass fed organic meat
@@liyacarolyn6055 it never will...
@@jaspreethobbs1859 yes, thats the point. and then they would ban real meat or make it super expensive

So in the future vegans can eat meat and can't do "it kills animal" excuse since it didn't kill any animal.
If that happened, the word vegan will be gone, but...let's just jope they don't call us who eat real butchered animal "savages" if that hapened, then it'll be a discrimination
Wait, if lab grown meat became common and industriolize, then real farm/buthered meant's value will be higher since it takes more time for the animal to grow/rarity, eating real meat will probably seem like a luxury. "Oh wow he eat real farm meat, probably a well off or rich guy" XD lol
@something anonymous I meet one once in my life, only once, they're the minority so it's had to find here in my country.
As long as it is as rich in nutrients as normal meat and doesn't come with weird preservatives, I would prefer it to normal meat at an equal price.
Because it contains less traces of other substances, like hormones or antibiotics, and would just feel more sterile and uncomplicated.
I mean, you could most likely eat it raw right of the counter, because it never gets into contact with any bacteria.
What the real problem is the fact that more food gets wasted then is needed.This won't solve that structural problem
Sentient animals are suffering horrifically every minute. Just for our taste.
We need to change to Lab meat and Plant alternatives immediately.
Ok meat lab locked up,
human lab next
The problem is they have only mastered protein cell culture and not the fat where the true flavor and nutrition lies in meat and still require biopsy
totally true, I'm currently writing a paper on this topic and they present it like it can grow the fat cells too and like it wouldnt still need the animal serum(mostly bovine serum)
The future for space exploration is this and a huge role on colonizing space.
in other cultures other animals are eaten. I wonder if the taste of lab meat is resembling. If it is I would try out more, as it doesnt hurt animals. The choice in super markets will greatly increase!
It's literally the exact same on a cellular level, so yes, it will taste the same.
@Muscle Boi uhhh ok?
@@Saturn-uz6jc I've tried several types of fake meat and and whole lots of real meats in general. They don't taste similar at all. Real meats were at least twice as tastier and they all have the nutrition people need. Fake meats weren't as good and lacked the nutrition these real meats have. I only see cons eating fake meat.
@@meneerknak1 It's not ready for mass market realise yet, so I doubt you have tried the final product.
You are ignoring the moral and environmental arguments if you see only cons to cultured meat.
And as far as nutrition goes, people don't eat meat for nutrition so this is an irrelevant point for most people. If it's that big of an issue you can fortify the meat like we do with many of our other foods.

5:02 A new challenger has appeared!!!!
We need to study the long-term effect of this kind of meat. Plastic was hailed as the wonder material until it becomes a huge problem for the environment and health.
Plastic is still a wonder material, that's why we use it this much. Its implementation prevented much, much more deaths than caused
This, in my opinion, is the future of meat production as a whole. I could easily see it replacing almost every form of generic meat in supermarkets. It’s free of animal cruelty, it’s environmentally friendly, and it’s overall healthier? And it’s still meat?! Yes, please. The technology is here, and the science is here. All we need is the will.
I'm 19 and I've never tasted meat in my entire life and will never taste it. I'm physically strong and healthy. When people say they can't scientifically survive without meat, I laugh at them.

Hey Quarts, who makes the bg music for your content? It’s nice.
Here after Singapore legalised this as food
Lot of people will still pay more for it if that means an animal didn’t die to provide it.
Won’t be me tho 🤷♂️
50 years from real meats will be a delicacy and we will all be stuck with our Soylent green 😂
Never, billions of people still will and want to eat meat. These fake meats only will be used by vegans whom already have a malnourished lifestyle. More real meat for the regular healthy looking folks :)
The way we treat animals today is definitely one thing future generations will look down upon.
I'm not a vegetarian but if lab grown meat becomes available for a reasonable price, I will switch immediately.
It's also more healthy, brings less risk for food poisoning and doesn't contain traces of antibiotics or resistant bacteria.
Firstly, the name. Just call all cell cultured meat products "Cultured steak, cultured ham etc". Secondly, the big issue with cell cultured meat is that it doesn't have any structure to it, it's like a meatball. A steak has a grain, all the cells point in a certain direction. To make this a viable alternative or even replacement to conventional meats you would need to grow the cells on a scaffold so they grow how you want them to. With advances in 3D printing it may be possible to 3D print these structures based on a blueprint of a decullarised sample of mucle tissue, but I don't even know if you can 3D print whatever material that would be made of. In essence, this technology is probably 100 years off being fully viable, a few more scientific breakthroughs are needed before we can get there.
After this becomes mainstream and vegans switch back to this meat, the non vegetarians will get offended like the vegans got before😂
Why wait, go vegan today!
No
@@valstormwarsong4341 Would you want to have a discussion about veganism via google hangouts or Skype?
Its so nice to finally meat you!
Is there the possibility that as cell cultured meat enters the market and it's price becomes lower, that traditional meat producers will make more shortcuts to provide a cheaper product? An unintended consequence may be that the remaining animals that are farmed are treated worse. We have to stop intensive animal farming, so the price may be something that has to be paid.
I don't know what are the concerns about this I'm just waiting for these cheap killing-free burgers!!!
This right here is how you should solve problems in a free society. Not by giving more power to authoritarians in government.
found you in the Nether today, great videos!
"Like China"
OOF, America felt that 🖐️😂👌
Don't buy these surface level coverage. There's a lot more that goes into this that's detrimental for the environment and people's health.
For 10000 yrs people were comfortable making their own food. Now suddenly it has become a problem . Rich wants to stay richer happily ever after.
For 10,000 years people have also died of a mild flu and shit in the bush. Why do you stray from this proud tradition?
of course we cannot call in vitro meat "meat". because we also call children from in vitro fertilisation.... something else?
This is gonna get freaky when commercially produced lab grown human meat is produced
The biggest problem with this - as a scientist who cultures cells in the lab - is with bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. In scientific research we OFTEN use antibiotics (which only keep some bacteria at bay) but this overuse of antibiotics in lab grown meat would be disastrous and accelerate the antibiotic resistance problem to epidemic levels.
Cell cultured meat is a terrible, terrible idea.
The vegetarian/vegan diet is best for the earth and safest for people. Occasional meat (maybe 3x a week) is low risk and beneficial as it provides nutrients you can't (easily) get elsewhere. Ethically grown animals for meat consumption is the direction we should be going in, and what we should be pouring money into - not this.
Here you go folks. An actual scientist talking facts and telling you the repercussions of lab grown meat
It's a lot easier to deal with antibiotics in a lab than in a farm. Part of the problem is that animal waste is exposed to the environment or even released into it, which is why you get antibiotic resistance. If the antibiotics are restricted to a controlled environment in a lab, where waste products can easily be treated chemically before being released into the environment, antibiotic resistance becomes a MUCH smaller issue.
Not only that, but cells can be cultured with different media/food. Feeding cows algae is very difficult, but feeding a bunch of cells algae products is a lot easier. That reduces the amount of land used to grow things like wheat and corn, plus the associated pesticides and herbicides.
Cell cultured meat is an amazing and great idea.
@@davidonfim2381 I agree with your idea. A large part of antibiotics are to resist various bacteria, fungae, etc., but in sterile labs there's no risk of even having to use many of the antibiotics we currently do. The original commenter may be a scientist, but I can guarantee he would be supportive of lab grown meat if he knew how many antibiotics we are consuming in farm raised meat anyways, in addition to the vast amount of pesticides.
How much the farm industries paying you to say this?
@@Casablancasky Viral, bacteria, and overuse of antibiotics is already occurring in the farming industry.
Vegans be all "damn, how do I get offended by this?"...
NO. vegans be all "damn finally this madness of factory farming can stop"
vegans be like: hmmm artificial meat... Its still meat, time to protest farmers n' stuff
One question no-one seems to be asking. What is the source of the nutrients in the nutrient rich cell culture.
Plant-based nutrients i think
@@MarkMetEenC That would be the ideal case, but is still a question not answered so far in any of the videos I've seen.
However, there are additional questions like, can the nutrient solution be prepared in a more cost effective manner than growing feedstock? What is the carbon footprint of the nutrient solution+cell culturing compared to conventional farming?
When the next generation comes it will probably get accepted because the government and these companies will put THE perspective in people brains to normalise this kind of thing.
It isn't that complicated a thing to normalize.
If I'm going to be able to get Wagyu for the same price as a normal slice of beef, best believe I'm going to be buying it on the daily
My question is, how healthy is
meat from a lab? If how we're used to produce meat which was natural was unhealthy, this is worst
Next 50 years, more food than last 10k years? Something doesn't add up here.
Why does it matter if a lot of land is used for livestock? Is every single human being was eating only plants and all that land would be used for growing plant-based foods.
