- The Future of Clean Meat - Lab Grown Meat Explained. More and more eco-conscious consumers are joining the vegan movement across the world. But do we really need to give up on burgers, steaks and fried chicken for good? Maybe not, if a more eco-friendly entree' makes it to our menu. How does clean meat and lab-grown meat sound to you? Cultured meat may be making its way to your plate sooner than you think.

This onslaught of puns is killing me
*pun-ishing me*
Too, much, pun.
walk into KFC and ask them to print you some chicken nuggets.
Some religious people have the gift of speaking in tongues, whilst Matt has the "gift" of speaking in puns.....
Listen to NPR to build up your resistance. Personally, I'm not even phased. There were no hard groaners.
As soon as it's somewhat affordable (say 2-3x the price of regular meat), and actually available in supermarkets / restaurants, I'd switch entirely to lab-grown meat. Can't wait, hope it gets here soon (Sweden / EU).
Can we live happy and healthy lives without eating meat (real or fake)?
@@brianrcVids it does not matter, im vegan and a smoker. its not much about health mire about personal hedonism without hurting the rest.
@@lordrefrigeratorintercoole288 It does matter. Might not be about health for you, but many people turn vegan for health reasons (myself included). Most of our top 15 killers are profoundly influenced by what we eat. th-cam.com/video/lXXXygDRyBU/w-d-xo.html
@@brianrcVids is impossible or beyond burgers fake? or are fats salts proteins and spices what every tongue tastes regardless of source?
in France it's already there and actually competitive. Beyond Meat go for ~2x the cost of a mid-market equivalent, and we have quite an ecosystem of national startups starting their own products at a similar price range. In Paris, lots of burger places have lab-grown or vegan options. The future is now.
"Back in my day, we used to raise real animals in giant farms and slaughter them just to eat their meat once."

Thanks for the link. Video made me hungry for chicken.
I hope that old people will say that one day
@@PussGreyPussMeng ...as a teenager during wheat harvest we'd 'pick chickens' when it was too wet, green or otherwise stalled. I was the 'plucker', the way this guy cleans that bird is quick, clean and ready to go!
We used to hunt until men turned into feminine soyboys that eat processed chemicals and pat themselves on the back thinking they’re saving the world.
Being able to make synthetic meat from any animal sounds interesting.
"Ah yes ill have the baluga whale steak, my wife will have the manta ray fillet and the kids will have some chameleon nuggets"
The problem with Chameleon nuggets is that you can't see them on the plate!
IKR? I never even considered that possibility! I also just had a horrifying thought, they could do the same thing with human stem cells, couldn't they? ACK.
This is why we have the comment section! 🤣👍🏾
@@rkbkirin5975 honestly I wouldn't mind trying some me-at.
I'll take the pterodactyl thanks
The change to clean meat might be more important for the health of this planet than any other technology on the horizon. I have no reservations about eating it and I think others can be easily convinced when the health benefits are exposed. Once the cost comes down, it becomes a marketing problem.
It will take years and a large pool of subjects to get Health info on. The Carbohydrate era has shown us that "Low Fat", "No Cholesterol", trends are actually bad for humans. Carbs have been a silent killer for decades. People are waking up to that reasoning.
When and if lab grown meat gets massed produced, and that's just gonna consume a ton of power, and we know that companies are mining virgin ecosystems and is robbing the planet of a finite resource just to make really inefficient solar panels and wind turbines. There are ways to reduce the environmental impact that animals have, but lab meat isn't the answer. If you're worried about all the methane the cows produce, then think about how many humans are on this planet. Methane isn't going to kill the environment. If dinosaurs were able to survive for millions of years without killing the planet, then just a bunch of cows is not going to make a noticeable difference.
@@WhynotMinot If they Heavy machinery/ Marine/ Flight industry go to say... Hydrogen Fuel Cell, that could mean more than half of the world CO2 emissions.
@@hammerheadcorvette4 That's a big If, and the technique for making hydrogen is not very profitable, as in it takes a bunch of power to make, and using that power to move a vehicle would move the vehicle as far. It's also not just about emissions, it's about the planet that companies are making massive quarries which is destroying ecosystems, and in the process the machines produce a lot of emissions. I think hydrogen is the way, but we need more some like what Stan Meyers was able to turn water into hydrogen by using electrolysis but not the inefficient hydrolysis.
@@WhynotMinot Use Nuclear to make hydrogen. Find ways to extract energy from Vitrified Nuclear waste. I'm still going to eat my cows, eggs and chickens, because we have developed to be carnivores over millenia. Ansel Keys rhetoric has ruined our lives for the past 50yrs, now is time we get healthy again.
If cultured meat becomes cheaper, I will go all the way with it. It's much better for the environment, and I have the hope that it'll make more expensive meat cheaper.
I hope not! Meat is already cheaper than its real cost in resources and labour because of subsidies
I don’t see the price of cultured meat dropping as much as the price of conventional meat increasing. With water becoming a real concern, feed costs will continue to rise. Making cultured meat more appealing on cost. Time will tell.
Vegan's need to realize we want our meat! If it's cheaper and better I'm all in!
meat is over rated. I used to hang out with meat eaters. Big slabs of meat on the bbq every day. It was a bit hard to break the habit but now I almost never touch meat. I am glad I got out before this lab grown meat becomes a thing.
@@voidremoved... Okay. Some people like to eat meat, some don't. No need to consider yourself so high above the rest of us that do like meat.
As excited as I am about the 'clean meat' technology, I'm curious if the same tech can be repurposed to wood, instead of meat. The lumber indistry currently suffers from the fact that there are no true 'hard wood' trees left available for harvest, even the hard-wood species are too young to have developed into the sturdy, dense woods our ancestors used. But if woods can be clone-grown pre-cut into planks or beams, and grown even from endangered wood like the Lignus Vitae, then the lumber industry no longer needs to wait long periods of time between harvests OR deforest green spaces.
Bamboo and hemp is the best solution to save forest. They grow much quicker and far more sustainable
We have ironwood here. I don't know if that's classified as true hardwood. (Xanthostemon verdugonianus)
@@darktemplar8140 Because of timber-farming practices, even the hardwood species don't get the really ultra-dense *hard* wood that they used to centuries ago, because the trees aren't given proper time to mature and thicken up and densify. Modern woods are flimsy compared to older woods of the same species and volume.
We could have both!
There’s more hardwood trees on the planet than there’s been in the past like 4 or 5 centuries. Hardwood is hardly used as a production material these days, it’s mostly composites made from other plants that grow faster with less water. Your statements and questions are based on misunderstandings.
I believe the moment we can produce lab meat at undistiguishable quality and competitive price, any argument suporting traditional meat falls short. I'm looking forward to that day (I speak as a meat eater).
Thank you for your work Matt, it's always enlightening to see your videos, you make a great service to society by bringing attention to those new and inovative tecnologies.
There are no good arguments to eat meat. It has never been easier to be vegan. It has never been more important to do so. See my list of reasons in this thread.
Here are some of the reasons to boycott animal products-
1-Your own health (vegans are less likely to get several deadly chronic diseases)
2-Helping to end animal agriculture would reduce the chance of another pandemic & other zoonotic diseases
3-Helping to end animal ag would reduce the chance of the development of an antibiotic resistant pathogen.
4-Animal ag wastes a huge amount of fresh water. Each vegan saves 219,000 gallons of water every year!
5-Animal ag is a major cause of water pollution
6-Animal ag is a major cause of deforestation
7-Animal ag increases PTSD and spousal abuse in the people who work in slaughterhouses. Workers in meat packing facilities often endure terrible, dangerous working conditions.
8-Animal ag is a major cause of the loss of habitat and biodiversity
9-Needless killing of innocent, sentient beings cannot be ethically justified.
10- It is the single most effective way for each of us to fight climate change and environmental degradation.
11- Longer lifespan.
12- Healthier weight (vegans were the only dietary group in the Adventist Studies that had an average BMI in the recommended range.)
13- A healthy plant based diet significantly reduces the chances of ED later in life, and even 1 meal can improve bedroom performance
14- Vegetarians and vegans have lower rates of dementia later in life
15- A plant based diet could save money! You could reduce your food budget by one third!
16-A fully plant based diet improves the immune system according to a study published in the journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health
17-A fully plant based food system would greatly reduce food borne illnesses like salmonella
18-A fully plant based food system would be able to feed millions more people. Our population is growing!
19-A fully plant based food system would save 13,000 lives a year from the air pollution caused by animal agriculture, according to a study
20- A vegan world would save 8 million human lives a year, and $1 trillion in health care and related costs (Oxford Study)
Links for some of these are at my channel under "About."
If you doubt any of them, I would be glad to cite evidence from credible sources to back them up. TH-cam only allows a certain number of links at my channel.
Can you refute any of these compelling reasons to boycott animal products?
Have been subscribed to your channel for a while now because of Tesla and battery tech, but Wow, this episode was like an incredible Netflix documentary 😮
I'd watch a deeper dive into the specifics, make it 20 or 30 minutes!
Are used to work at Burger King for years and was when the impossible burger came in I was the first want to try it because I’m greedy and I love food. I’ll be honest and tell you it is amazingly close if I had to give it a percentage it’s one percent away from tasting just like the whopper meal. I think most people are scared to try it because they don’t understand the science behind it in afraid they’re going to develop superpowers or grow in antler out of their kneecap. I think once people understand the science better than them because it really does taste just like it just as good to
I am big fan of your content too @Yeung Man Cooking
Thanks so much! That means a lot.
Tesla batteries . They have to dig holes in the earth, the size of 5 stadiums and super deep. The machines used , uses more gas than all the cars they make out of that hole will use in 25 years.
Tesla is a great ideas and I like him.
But the battery sucks ,is dangerous, and uses way more gas than our cars.

I've said this time and time again, I don't care if it's GMO, Synthetic, made from feces, whatever, if it tastes good, I'll take a bite, if it's cheap, I'll buy.
My annoyance is that this is a great technology that needs to get out into the world - but the US government will likely drag its heels on legislation for it due to it impacting existing meat industries.
Hopefully these companies will follow Tyson and realize that this is where things are headed, and that'll finally change things.
I'd be interested to see the numbers for which actually pulls more co2 the vast densely covered grassland used for grazing vs crop fields which technically have less plant coverage and more open soil.
That's a real breakthrough, I hope one day we will have all kinds of lab meat, inc organ meat, fish, seafood etc
@@scurvydog20 I think that is a good way of looking at it - drove through Idaho recently and watched tons of pastureland go by -
With all the people moving to the state, would the addition of all that housing and the loss of all that open grass have an adverse effect?
Obviously certain results of the cattle industry like Amazon deforestation are clearly harmful, but I think the idea of existing grazing land being taken out has some interesting questions.
Yes, i can't wait until it's available in Canada. I'll be switching to it right away, even if it's slightly more expensive than farmed meat.
Unless you eat meat very sparingly then you won't really be able to switch to lab grown meat just yet. It's still a long ways off before they can mass produce it.
same here, hope we screw the cattle slaughtering business here in AB all the way into oblivion SOON!
@@j4651 oh shut the hell up your one of those annoying people that got nothing to do so critice everything on this planet, no one fucking cares so go to live a boring life with all your fake ideas
@justsomeguyhere it is literally identical to meat. For the price, I think it’s worth it to save an animal and our environment.
@justsomeguyhere CLONED tissue. I don't consider it commercially viable just yet, but still, edible. Your comment appears to have low education value.
I'm really interested in that lab grown meat. I'm a chef in the Caribbean and I was really concern with all the detriments of producing animal based meat.
Lab grown meat will reach price parity far sooner in Europe where the cost of conventional meat is already more expensive due to lower antibiotics usage and a smaller overall market per person.
I am not convinced that it will be. Our farmed meat in Europe is actually dirt cheap, we export all over the world, even to a lot of the poorer nations because meat production is heavily subsidized.
Only if the laboratory alternative gets at least the same amount of subsidies will we see a comparable price tag and lawmakers usually move a few years behind the times, not ahead of them.
We might get surprised though, the EU has been hard at work to reduce emissions, even though we still don't force our military industrial complex to do the same.
@@blafoon93 Where I come from red meat is typically 5x the price in the US and you can't get a personal butcher (only 5 star restaurants get that), if we're talking pig and chicken then yeah prices get more similar (still way above US prices).
@Jonas Kirchner:The other option would be to remove the subsidies for animal farming, which are insanity anyway.
Depends on the country. Traditional farmers and butchers are not going to be happy. Expect them to run frankenfood campaigns to try to scare consumers away from it and protect their market. We'll see how it goes in the main agricultural countries. I'd say France is going to be rioting over it for 20 years. Spain might be an early adopter, though. A significant step will be when large restaurant chains begin offering a laboratory meat alternative on the menu.
It doesn't have to kill good quality meat completely, as long as it drastically reduces intensive farming. But for a lot of meat, it would probably be also a big improvement in terms of quality and health.
I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I'm absolutely looking forward to there being more lab meat options in circulation, especially restaurants and fast-food places.
Way more people will jump ship as soon as it's just as convenient to get.
I've had both Beyond and Impossible and it's just fine. There is a difference in taste, but it's slight.
Only stubborn fools would die on that ship for such trivial reasons.
@@SherylinRM I'm not a liberal. ...and so the presumptuous morons feel obligated to chime in.
@@SherylinRM Yes really. You seem to be pretty keen to label ppl liberal who say stuff you don't like. Grow up and move on.
I think for me personally I’ll need to get used to the idea of lab grown meat, I personally like to eat meat from the bones but I think when people see that on a cellular level that lab room is exactly the same as the animal meat itself I think more people will be more keen to go in lab grown or maybe even a combination of Farm and Lab Grown foods.
@@durun1224 That's understandable. Things like this will take time to get used to for a lot of ppl and it's not like it's suddenly going to be the only option overnight.
There will be a slow conversion but that's how change at the high level happens.
@Sherylin It feels good when a troll runs away with their tail between their legs. So much for owning the libs. /s
I love meat, and I see no reason not to go with a lab grown variant. Hell it'll make maintaining body comp and dieting much easier since the meat will be healthier. If it tastes the same why not, that's the only reason I don't eat veggie meat, tried the impossible whopper side by side a normal one, and I'm sorry but it's nowhere near as good lol.
Another good thing is while people are focused on meeting price parity, the real upside is after that. I think lab grown meat has the potential to become wayyyy less expensive than normal meat is today. Imagine a $2 triple whopper from burger king, that is also way healthier. Hopefully I'm not too old to reap these benefits by time it happens
A buddy of mine was a biology student and they had a guest at the university that taught them about their research into meat cloning.
They essentially got a tissue sample from a chicken and cloned it. Then, that meat was cooked into some nuggets and could be served for consumption.
When my friend and his class ate those nuggets... They had that very same chicken - that they were eating- walking around, clucking about, happy as can be an alive.
I thought that was a huge impact.
As a Mestizo from So. Texas I was raised on ranch based meat. from rabbits to snake and beef and chicken and pork. The variety of ways to spice chorizo and stews and steaks is much varied. I think this lab grown meat is a tremendous advantage for making people healthier. All one need do is go to a poor country to see how important diet is to growth. Plus I can make you a delicious food product with it that will make you demand more after you finished a reasonable heavy serving.
Try some vegan chorizo. You don't know what you're missing!
Soon as stores start carrying it I'll be on that train whenever it makes sense for me. I'm not a fan of how much antibiotics and hormones get used in industrial farming.
Get local meat, or your own animals.
@@WhynotMinot Or lab-grown meat, which is better for the environment.
@@Xartab The healthiest way that humans were more or less designed for is animal meat. Just because they say it's healthy, doesn't mean that they aren't gonna just load it up with sugar and other garbage that %90+ of the food at stores have.
Just to be clear antibiotics use is strongly controlled in the EU. Not sure where you live.
@@gary6549 The USA, where they don't really care that half the population is obese.

How many times did he laugh and have to retake I wonder.
I think I may have crossed the pun threshold and broken the time-pun barrier.
It was absolutely pun-derful.
Standing ovation and I'm one minute in you guys)
With enough advancements will taste and feel exactly like meat while having a similar price:✅
Will have a much lower enviromental footprint:✅
Does not harm animals (for the people that care about that): ✅
Allows the possibility to modify meat to make it healthier and tastier:✅
Lower chance of carrying diseases✅
I honestly don't understand why this doesn't have more funding, even though i love meat and don't particulary care for the well being of animals i still support it, its a win-win for everyone.
It’s not like meat…it is actually meat. The cells are just grown in a different place.
Honestly, it might become even cheaper than agriculture, since you don't need as much land, food, antibiotics and protection
Livestock lobbying.
Right, kind of like how GMOs are "healthy?" There's been a significant increase in cancers ever since GMO foods, but somehow you believe a slab of meat grown in a lab will be the healthier option? Wow.
@@furryballsploppedmenacingl8534
Source?
Because GMOs are healthy
I don't understand people who have a aversion to lab grown meat/dairy. IMO this technology feels like a modern miracle.
Have an nice time eating cancer cells.
@@dinosaurus598 they will, cancer isn't contagious idiot
I get the impression we’re at a tipping point now. Private space flight, lab grown meat, more renewables, newer storage tech. Gives me hope.
It does. It's just a shame so many being sceptical about it. They mistrust EVs, lab-meat, new vaccine types, claim that renewables don't really work, doubt space technology etc. I trust that it will eventually pan out, but I'm also afraid that all this unfounded scepticism is going to delay the progress.
We haven't even got near the peak yet, let alone reached any tipping point. Unless, of course, you mean the tipping point that finally causes the collapse of the Gulf Stream - we're pretty close to that. And that's going to be really fun.
We desperately need to stop playing around with tech that will have a neglible effect on glabal warming, and actually change the way we live so we stop destroying the planet.
Sorry but I don’t understand how private space flight contributes to that sentence
We're at a point with two equally possible paths, one of promising tech and scientific progress, the other of massive societal and planetary disrupt, environmental chaos, a (continuing) 6th mass extinction, and a failed species that could have been something.
Here's hoping we can get the HELL off our cradle world in the next century. People might stop going so crazy if we actually had more room to expand.
Awesome, I'm veggie but would definitely support a push towards lab-grown meat. All of worlds agriculture land could be rewilded, fighting climate change and biodiversity loss, helping reconnect us back to the environment.
I despise people like you. Im just glad you're poor and work for a paycheck lol
Stupid wagie
I've been a non-meat eater (not Vegan - I still eat cheese and eggs) since the 80's, and will never go back. Still, the potential positive impact of this tech gets a big thumbs up... :)
I am a vegetarian and have been for years. Not only is eating meat bad for the environment (from lagoon pools and antibiotics leaking into the ground water to the impact on soil from monoculture corn and soybeans across the midwest), it is bad for your health if you eat it all the time, and unimaginably cruel to billions of sentient beings. I cannot stand the thought that my dinner literally lived its entire life in open sewage.
I will 100% be eating cultured meat.
It's interesting how the introduction of this technology might even move the market away from cow meat, you could ethically eat any animals meat, maybe even a perfected tasty hybridized one. I am very on board to stop animal cruelty, but I've always wanted to know the taste of everything, including exotic meats.
The problem with exotic meat is that much of the flavor profile is from diet.. I think that would be difficult to reproduce in lab. Plain beef I think would be the safest bet
@@MarcelloFerrara95 oh, didn't know, gonna look it up, thanks for the info.
Yeah plus the work to try to reproduce a meat not many people will eat what's the point.
@@mateowoetam I like feeding and caring for what I eat if it's good weather and forage the flavor is good, if it's rough weather and poor forage it changes the flavor. The difference between confinement farming and free range, grazing is very evident. Side note there is a huge difference in flavor if the animals in confinement are cared for by toxic people and a dirty, stressful environment. There are many confinement farms with fine crews caring for animals, and they're usually glad to see us.
@@loboalamo yeah true, I do buy only free range organic meat and I understand that relationship with the animals, but just to better the environment I think we should switch to a bit of free range and only free range for live animals with great quality and then, for not so good average products then the mass production of lab grown.
I've become vegan in the past few years primarily for the sake of animal welfare and environmental reasons, not so much for the health benefits, and so yes, provided lab grown meat maintains a significant environmental improvement over animal meat, and it is not found to cause any additional health effects, I would likely be willing to eat it. Will it replace my regular implementation of Beyond and Impossible and other plant based meats however? Probably not unless it becomes significantly less expensive.
Good coverage of this topic.
I adopted a plant based diet in the last few years also with the health benefits (like lower cancer risk, better heart rate function) being as important as the animal welfare, ethics and environmental concerns.
Maybe it's for this reason that contrary to what the process you describe, I wouldn't consider eating lab grown meat at any point.
But I guess that compared to the current situation and only if the production at scale is not too wasteful or problematic, that could be a favorable replacement to animal exploitation for a portion of the population.
I hope that understanding humans can not only be fine but thrive only eating plant will become the standard tho.
100% I'd eat lab meat as well. All the drugs pumped into animals fall into us as well, lab meat in a clean env will surely be better for us too.
Not all farmers are bad and not all farms used chemicals plus where cows, sheep, etc operate the ground isn’t viable for crops. Still be a demand for natural grown animals meat instead of lab meat. Depends on how the lab is powered and not all farmers used additives or chemicals it’s mainly large industry’s that encourages the use because of high demand. Big food companies right like Mac Donald’s and others are becoming more stainable in the long time by getting it local to prevent using additives and chemicals while supporting farmers and keeping the animals in good condition.
Sorry im not gonna be vegan but I dont prefer beef or pork but I go for chicken and mutton and all aquatics
Flesh is flesh.
People who say the process doesn't sound appetizing should try spending a couple of hours in a factory farm. Animals dying on their faces covered in shit, from dehydration because they can't carry their own body weight.
I find it interesting how you refer to the process of growing meat in a lab as "not sounding mouth watering" while the 'natural' (though I'd argue this isn't natural either anymore) option is an assembly line with cows hung from their hind legs with slit throat so their blood can leave the body...
I thought exactly the same thing.
This method is not used in NZ, animals are stunned using a captive bolt gun. You dont even want to cause excess atress to animals, this makes the meat tougher.
@@FrightF Still pretty brutal no matter how you look at it. Messy too.
"Meat grown in a lab is now cheap, but used to cost as much as a commercial space trip. And now a word from our sponsor: a lidar-equipped, floor cleaning robot you can control from your video-phone".
We live in a freaking sci-fi movie...
If we lived in a sci-fi movie my vacuum robot wouldn't get lost in my bedroom. xD
We do, it's called Soylent Green.
I'm way more interested in this than plant "meat." Thank you for the puns. And I'm looking forward to that taste test.
This guy has capability to make 25 minutes documentaries..
Which will not cause boredom
I'm a cultivated meat scientist and this is really going to be future, and we need everyone with any background on board: marketing, science, computer engineers, mechanical and chemical engineers, data scientists, biologists, etc.
If you care about the environment, public health, world hunger and animals, devote your career and lives to this. This is gonna impact anything you care about!
Also great idea to get your anti vegan friend to cook that! Although, I think you need better friends who don't support animal cruelty :)
I’ve been cooking and eating Beyond Meat and Impossible products at home regularly for years now. They’re really very good. My understanding is that the goal of those companies is to eventually produce synthetic meat - in other words, a plant-based product that’s molecularly identical to farm-raised meat. I think that’s a very promising and compelling vision. And although the products haven’t quite reached that stage, they’re already nutritious and tasty and have already scaled up to fairly wide distribution and reasonable costs. So at the moment, I think it’s important for us to promote that category of products because they can help us mitigate the climate catastrophe, now.
Thank you. I'll eat lab meat. For now, I see no other viable solution for reducing the environmental burden of animal agriculture. I've been eating a low meat diet for 15 years. I wonder how they grow the meat without antibiotics. In my lab, we had to grow cell cultures with antibiotics, to keep the bugs away.
Because those labs are using much stricter standards for sterilization.
Do you really want to eat fake meat when humans are meant to eat real meat?
@@zacherykienle8628 It *is* real meat by every meaningful definition of the phase. It's just efficiently grown by the steak instead of the wasteful raising of an entire animal.
@@DBZHGWgamer I still consider it fake meat and I would rather have meat from a butchered cow.
@@zacherykienle8628 Again, there is no reasonable definition by which you could consider lab grown meat fake. It's the same exact animal cells. It tastes exactly the same too. It cooks and stores exactly the same.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite science/tech/whatever based youtube channels. Keep it up. I haven't even watched the video yet and already am excited to watch because I know your quality has been on point every time in the past.
Considering the first lab-grown burger cost about a quarter million pounds, reducing the cost by a factor of 100 still leaves the most expensive burger the planet has ever seen. Still, I am excited to see where they go with this. Two companies now have found ways to create lab-grown meat without draining the blood of a fetal calf after its mom was slaughtered. So, we are making good progress in these areas.
I don't want something that tastes like meat, just something that tastes good. But this is very interesting
Then just eat plants
Technically it is meat
ive tried beyond and impossible burgers, they taste nothing like meat. It was so disgusting I threw away the rest.
Lol ok
It is still meat the only difference is you grow it in lab rather than a farm.
As long as it looks the same, smells the same, feels the same and tastes the same all while being safe. Though that is why I support it for mass meat consumption/industrial scale and costs. More edible meat for everyone to be able to eat if they choose to is good.
don't forget that less animals will be killed so it will be more ethical as well. (and yes I know there will be less animals of those types overall, but the end result is the ones who do survive will live better lives in general)
> The Same
It is and will taste the same, as it is literally a cloning of an animal's cells.
They can even make it safer than normal meat cause no, sorry, poop contimination is possible.
Ibf exotic human flesh restaurants
@@informitas0117 that is a good point. Any human who is willing to give a few stem cells can be the source of a mass marketed Human Burger. Since we already give blood for cash , I see no legal objections to this form of technological cannabalism.
Of course Matt fails to mention somehow that the protein feedstock needed to produce this meat could also be used to feed us directly.. there is no advantage to adding a artificial lab-meat process to re- form the same nutrition into a more expensive product.
If a change in flavor is desired , we already know that we can do a good job of it with the fully vegan Impossible Burger or the Beyond Burger.. This lab grown meat would be a far more expensive product than what we already have.. Right Matt?
"only the very rich could afford to eat meat in medieval times" is a myth.
It very much depended on where you lived;
If you lived in a village with lots of livestock, you could easily afford meat, but maybe not fish from the village 100 km away, and vice versa.
Id love to try lab grown meat. A friend of mine once told me that Antelope and Gazelle are amazing to eat. It is my hope that in the not to distant future, when I go to get a burger or steak, that I may have a long list of choices of the kind of meat, not just the doneness of said meat.
3d printing a steak does sound like a convenient idea
Yeah just grow a bunch of different cells like fat cells meat cells then 3d print it. It will be easier to make also faster than trying to grow a wagyu beef in growth solution.
3D printing means you can print a turducken
I'm all in on lab-grown meat. Especially as the science improves and they get the scaffolding to be more natural, it'll be nearly indistinguishable from real meat. Making this kind of product in an environmentally friendly and cheap way could solve a lot of problems. And it opens the door to making it possible to pass meaningful regulations on agriculture for treatment of animals - minimum space per animal, banning antibiotics completely, banning factory farming, etc. I don't think real meat will ever go away - but it will shift into a luxury or special occasion food, and cultured meat will be the daily staple for everyone. We had the green revolution (RIP Borlaug), which enabled our population explosion. Society may very well collapse without this "red revolution."
Said no true Texan ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ruby Cattle Company is awesome
@@davidamoritz Texas is irrelevant.
Hopefully people will open their minds more to vegan morality to stop that though.
I think the fact that most people prefer meat from slaughtered animals over that of lab grown or plant-based proves there's no hope for it.
I'm in 100% as soon as this gets almost the same price as "regular" meat.
It's also very interesting considering the fact that with this we could get access to soo many more types of meat without harming any of the species they belong to. This would expand our palettes so much, I'm really looking forward to this.
So you could technically grow human meat in a lab...
In case you want to literally give someone their pound of flesh sure.
But the more interesting long term prospect is that this technology could form the basis for lab growing replacement pancreases, livers, kidneys, hearts, lungs, basically this could be the foundation of using a patients own cells to grow replacement organs. Enormous potential.
this is not even meat
My family has been following this topic for years. My son even wrote a paper on it in high school. Glad to see the progress. Thank you for another great video.
"The more antibiotics that we feed to animals, the more resistant the bacteria inside them will become; not to mention that the livestock can carry viruses. So if you keep spreading livestock farms around the world, diseases are more likely to spread, leading to pandemics..."
For what it's worth, I'm an atkins-low-carb meat eating monster, but I personally prefer beyond meat burgers to regular beef burgers 99% of the time. A really great beef burger is still excellent, but I now eat one maybe once a year.
Bring on the lab meat, I say!
Cutting costs by 100 percent would mean costs reduce to zero
*Almost
I'm down for lab grown meat. I can keep getting the tastiness of meats without killing the planet and animals, its win win.
Oh, please. Meat isn’t “killing the planet”.
"Killing the planet" - A great indicator to tell how stupid someone is.
@@dwarfzilla2529 lol, yup a great response to show your intelligence, I mean lack thereof.
it is not meat. lol. dont be a sheep. better eating at taco bell at that point.
I think its a much more sustainable and ethical approach. Great video!
Great job explaining this intriguing topic. This tech for meat will be a great solve for contamination from things like viral prions that cannot be easily eliminated by traditional cooking methods. Keep up the great work!!
I keep trying plant based dishes wherever possible and I'm glad to see that excellent tasting vegan foods are popping up fast. I haven't found a good tasting burger patty until Beyond Meat came along. It's not perfect, but I've managed to make super delicious burgers with it. If one wants to stay on an carnivore/omnivore diet, I really like the idea of lab grown meat instead of killing animals.
Beyond Meat is something I tried for a week and become very ill from consuming. Just didn't work for me at all. Both going in and leaving my body.
@@SSingh-nr8qz because you’re not supposed to eat it every day. It’s still highly processed food, it’s still junk food like a store bought hamburger. If you want to try a plant based diet, take some time to learn some actual recipes like currys, pasta, veggie wraps…
@@giulia1603 curry is so good. And so much variety. I love it.
I too wasnt a big fan until I tried a Beyond Beef burger. It doesnt taste like beef to me, but honestly I like them more than real beef. Sure, they aren't beating Five Guys, but compared to MY best attempt at cooking store bought beef, they are easier to cook and taste way better. My only gripe is that they are thicccccccccccc. I like a thin burger, maybe I should start thawing them out and cutting them in half...
When I first heard of Impossible Burger and Beyond Beef I thought they were actually going to be good. In reality Impossible Burger tastes like a bland store bought frozen patty, and Beyond Beef tastes like a bad bean burger that wasn't quite made right.
"That doesn't sound mouth watering at all!"
So does Pink Sludge, people eat it anyway :)
Labgrown meat and the fastfood industry sounds like a match made in heaven.
I'm looking forward to that lab grown wagyu!
👏 lab grown Wagyu! 👏
also, this stuff is going to make amazing jerky!
Or the videos of slaughterhouses or factory farming
I really don't understand the purpose of this sentence
@@nelo771 Completely what I thought. I get the "ick" factor some people have, but if he had described the slaughter and cutting of the meat in similar detail that wouldn't have sounded mouth-watering either.
@@xanatax1844 Heh. There is Mycelium-based bacon! (and leather)
most people will eat anything if they don't know what it is. (as long as it tastes good) Fast food and lab/vat grown will indeed likely be the introduction (if the price-point is right), and I have seen way too many drool-inducing videos about wagyu! If I can buy a printed wagyu brisket for less than selling an organ... YEsh
I am a vegetarian almost vegan. But I support this lab grown meat and would eat it myself as I know that no animal would be tortured or killed from eating this.
Lab grown meat sounds like the goal we should be reaching for. I know I would be more willing to eat a bunch of different meats that I wouldnt before just cause lab grown should mean a new level of safety.
When you say it doesn't sound mouth watering - just think of what goes on in an abattoir when you eat real meat )

@@djinghiskhan9199 No he puts a dress on the dear..
@@Delgen1951 I hope the dress doesn't get eaten.. seems like that might cause GI distress.
@@davidamoritz yeah, for me the killing part isn't the problem. It's the awful conditions so many animals are in at factory farms. Doesn't stop me from enjoying meat, but I'm in favor of better ways to do it.
The one problem I have with comments like this, about methane and emissions and such, people (including you) always seem to skip over the fact that the biggest emissions come from THROWN AWAY food. Which, because of them being animals, is only 14% meat. We need to solve the thrown away issue first. It's way bigger and way worse. Besides this, agriculture has many, many issues as well. There's a lot of misinformation about it and a lot of misconceptions (like stating we grow so much of our food for livestock, which just isn't true). Point is; The numbers are all so incredibly wrong. I'm all for lab meat, though. Seems like a good solution either way.
True...all these issues from the smallest scale to the largest have to be solved
And what about the massive mixed heards that used to roam Eurasia, Africa and America. Methane much?
There’s always the illusion that we should do this other thing first.
There is no doing the other thing first, just do both.
It’s not like they are mutually exclusive and we’re picking to not do food waste problems.
@@FreekHoekstra Yes, you are correct. They aren't mututally exclusive, but mutually related. 86% of the waste is plant-based foods. We need to eat (and grow) a lot more plant-based foods than meat to sustain ourselves. Removing meat = increase in plant-based food and thus waste. Said waste is an even bigger problem than the meat industry. Nevermind the fact that we feed a LOT of this waste to our livestock, which would then just be added to the trash heap again. See where I'm going with this? It's just not as simple as people make it all out to be. We need to handle both problems, because just "solving" the meat industry problem will increase the other problems into completely replacing the initial problem.
I don’t think that an issue invalidates the other.
Yes, we have to reduce food waste in agricolture and household , but every international organisation agrees on the fact that we still need to reduce drastically our meat consumption.
Yes, some people might be spreading biased statistics and exaggerated numbers, but still the meat industry as it is right now in developed countries is carbon intensive, very expensive and an extremely inefficient way to produce calories.
Until this arrives what we can do is either go vegan or reduce the amount of meat. For example when we have steak, we have 1 between 4 of us and we slice it up with veg in a Chinese style dish reducing meat intake and pushing plants in our family diet
I’ve been vegetarian for more than half my 55yrs of age, I don’t crave meet & find the thought of it disgusting. However, this is great for people who love it but feel they would like to make a sustainable change. Great story!
Unfortunately vegetarians still hurt animals though as all animals that are raised for milk and eggs are ultimately slaughtered. Cows are forcibly impregnated and have their babies taken away from them, repeatedly until their milk production declines and they are slaughtered while male calves will be killed for veal. Also it's standard practice in the egg industry to suffocate/macerate day old male baby chick because they won't lay eggs.
@@ilovesustainableenergy9563 yes I’m aware of that. However, if you are going to talk about being sustainable you might consider that Vegan ‘leather’ for cars & clothing is made of a synthetic material that is damaging to the environment- so you can always find a negative somewhere. I have my own chickens that live a very happy life on my farm, no I don’t eat them. Balance is the key I think & knowing that a farmer does their thing with the utmost consideration of their animals helps.
That was a very informative video! I thought we were meat eaters for centuries. I also appreciated the tone of the delivery. There definitely is a problem with how we get our meat, but you weren’t beating it over our heads.
Well, we have been, but it's always been supplemental rather than the primary diet. We're called "*hunter*-gatherers for a reason. We're omnivores by nature, as evidenced by dental evolution.
There's also some interesting research I read a few years back in that cooked meat is what accelerated the evolution of the human brain given the nutrition that fire was able to unlock within the meat.
The guy is ignorant as F. That's the dumbest thing I've herd in a while. Go back in any village 200, 300, 600 years ago. You think chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, and cows they kept were their pets? Hooolly f how detached people have become 😂😂😂
@@brownie43212 Biggest pile of bullshit. Also there is no such thing as "carnivore diet". Do you know understand what the term "omnivore" means?
@@brownie43212 many apes eat animals(usually bugs)
Honestly sounds like a much better alternative to traditional farming. I especially like the idea of being able to substitute omega-3 fatty acids into the meat. doesn't seem like there's many REAL downsides besides public perception
I’m a little annoyed that it sounds like many of these companies are using soy based scaffolding for their products. This will be even more restrictive for those with food based allergies.
I haven’t seen a cow or a chicken on a Star Trek episode or movie yet so I suspect this truly is the way to go
This lab grown stuff seems pretty cool though and I can't wait to try it.
Lab meat is human flesh this video is all lies no proof all just hear say about animal meat
Thanks a lot for another great episode on yet another really important topic. 5:10 the statement "it doesn't sound mouth watering at all" statement should definitely be revisited in comparison with traditional foo production (e.g. the quality of the excrements used to grow some mushrooms or the gross depiction of a slaughter house). I wish we were investing as much into R&D for lab grown food as we are pouring subsidies into traditional farming. This would give us a chance to curb our relentless conversion of habitable land into undiversified pastures or into dry salty fields.
There's a lot of truth to that statement! My wife wants to raise cows, but they're just so smelly and gross.. yet tasty 🙃
I'll go Lab-Meat any day instead of antibiotics-fueled meat grown in shit-covered stables.
The pacing of the commentary in this video is MUCH BETTER thant in previous I've seen on this channel. Excellent quality in this video overall. :)
As someone who needs to watch my diet but loves meat, it will be interesting to know the nutritional breakdown compared to natural meat? Got some research for myself. Thanks for another great video Matt Farrell?
It's the same animal cells. In theory, it should be possible to increase how much nutrients are in the meat, or reduce fats, or selectively reduce unhealthier fats (the latter two actually being touched on in the video), or any combination of those.
Yes! I want to eat lab grown meat! Anything that gets me closer to a Star Trek food replicator is great in my book!
@Fun With Minerals not true, this type of meat is probably going to become affordable in the next 10 years or less.
Let us hope there is going to be open source community around lab-meat production. For most people I think they rather buy the lab-meat at the supermarket than doing their own lab-meat production at home. We should also change the name from lab-meat to some other beefy name. My biggest concern about lab-meat it might not contain all the nutrients and such, it must be a 1:1 replacement to get majority of people to switch to this kind of meat. To put it another way, imagine lab-grown oranges but it doesn't contain C-vitamins, occurrence of scurvy would become rampant, so 1:1 is really important to get it right the first time to avoid having the people fear lab-meat. I think this industry is going to be the next big thing, like we have seen in IT sector, this is the next Silicon Valley adventure. One step closer to replicator food :D
Fantastic video!
I was a meat eater up until 2 years ago. I thought I needed to have meat on my plate every day. After realizing that it is absolutely absurd that my pleasure of eating meet was more important than the suffering and killing of animals, I decided to stop eating meat. We must not forget the negative impact livestock has on the environment. Here inBrazil the rainforest is destroyed so JBS can sell meat over the world. I do miss the flavor and I will definitely try lab meat as soon as it comes available here.
Yes, i had the same realisation. Vegan for the animals.
This is untrue, if commonsense prevails you will also realise corn fields cause the removal of animals, both macro and micro such as Birds, and Insects. Thats but a small example.
Deforestation has occurred for hundreds of years primarity for agriculture as in making land useful to grow crops.
Can you think of the advantage of animal resources over plants? Animals are moveable, so you can rotate herds and they give back to the environment through bio-waste.
The thought of methane being a pollutant doesnt make sense, it is an absolute diversion from Vehicle pollution.
Can I assume that both of you dont drive cars, use motorised mowers, never use a plane, dont use refrigeration etc etc. All of those pollute more than a cow 😆
Lab meat is another shot at corporations wanting to control the market and be in control of what you are able to eat. They will have an inferior replicant of a resource Nature gave us. An animal is more than just a stem cell product and you cant copy that because humans cannot understand and will never understand all the complex intricacies of Life.
Oh thats another point, if you own a dog, this dog does not exist at all in nature. It was bred by humans to be as it is. So you cant justify owning one if youre so against cruelty to any animal.
Not only am I personally a big fan of cultured meat becoming prevalent, and will absolutely jump on it when it becomes available, the vast majority of vegans I have asked would actually consider eating it, since they seem to generally be vegan due to morality reasons. Slaughtering animals doesn't suit them, but lab-grown meat.... well, if you've ever tried a vegan diet, you might have tried products that tried to look and taste like meat, and they are so full of unpronounceable chemicals you might as well not even try.
Cultivated meats is an appealing prospect and I'm super glad to know that it's less than a decade away from being widely available. Thank you very much for pulling together all this information and presenting it in such a great format, Matt!
I will definitely try lab meat when I can. I have tried a lot of vegetarian meat but they taste like sad attempts. Even (and sometimes especially) the expensive stuff does not approach in texture, and at best tastes reminiscent of real meat.
This is too bad because I'd happily eat anything if it is tasty.
We have decreased the meat consumption for the family by at least 50% over the past few years but instead of fake meat I just cook dishes without meat, saving the meat consumption for dishes where the meat plays a pivotal role.
You do know that cows will just go extinct when everyone does this right...
@@darthsailormoon4831 no man we need them for milk and in the Netherlands we have great need of cows and sheep to keep the soil in the polders compact. If we don't the soil will turn into marshland and for instance the afsluitdike will erode into nothing.
But the rest of the world will need milk from sheep and cows. Also real meat will forever be a delicacy for wealthier people
@@darthsailormoon4831 Only the need to butcher animals for sustenance is eliminated. You will still need to extract stem cells from the real animals to develop cultured meat - one sample doesn't last forever. So even if animal husbandry can be significantly scaled down to small scale farms or zoos/sanctuaries once the demand for the other animal products are resolved, the need for the animals will never become zero with cultured meat as would be a concern with a "vegan apocalypse".

If a lab sounds gross to you, you've never seen been in a slaughterhouse
Imagine if you ate this stuff for years then found out the nutrient to grow it was made from recycled people.
"still not wild enough for you?, how about something more..."
"human meat"
No such thing as Humane Meat . Nothing Humane happens in a slaughterhouse .
@@kg4tri they were probably commenting on the possibility of meats that we don't usually eat through making them by the process described in the video. therefore, we could theoretically eat human meat without killing a person
So you had to be that guy did you.
Oh god.
Logically why not? Ethically, I'm not sure. I'd considered this when I'd first heard of LGM in 2016. I imagine the ignorant religious will find some reason why not and even why not to consume LGM too. Human derived meat would bring a new meaning to "Body of Christ" at communion!
I heard about this about a year ago and I for one would definitely eat it, I'd even be willing to pay a little more at the start simply because of the benefits to the environment. I hope their time scale is accurate, the sooner we get this up and running the better.
SO what do you do with all the animals on the farms. Farmers will not keep them, farms are a business you know, so do you kill all the animals or not?
@@Delgen1951 It will take years to scale this up, so farms will have years to rotate through their stocks and scale down. And about the business/profit perspective, yeah this will cause farms to tumble over but that is the price of progress and preserving our environment.. it has to be done anyway because we have no choice but to reduce emissions.
I'm also interesting in potentially tasting extinct animal meat. We might be able to grow dodo or mammoth meat in the lab, or many more. I'm also interested to see what unique concepts come out of this, like layering very thin layers of meat, seasonings, vegetable proteins and fungi to produce unique textures and tastes. It's an exciting time to be alive.
Dodo meat is unlikely... but mammoth meat... technically possible, since we do have well preserved carcasses of mammoths.
There is actually a company trying to make mammoth steaks!
I just really hope we can change fast food and processed meat companies ASAP. As someone who used to eat meat not too long ago, I'm of the opinion that those meats are often so poor in quality that I wonder whether most people would even notice if they were replaced. I had a plant based frankfurter the other day and I swear it was IDENTICAL in taste to the kind you'd get in a can / jar.
also cos plants are used for seasoning so it's not difficult to mimic textures/ flavours.
I don't see this replacing farmed meat, but I do see it supplementing it. Herds of animals trampling and grazing are necessary in farming as well as reversing desertification. There is a great TED talk on the topic about how a man is revitalizing the land in Africa with cattle. Personally I am not opposed to either, whatever fits the budget and tastes the best will get my money.
Isn't excessive grazing the primary cause of the dust bowl? Seems like that assertion requires some qualifiers.
@@louishermann7676 the TED talk author's name is Alan Savory and he himself admits it seems counterintuitive, but the system he developed is supposed to mimic the natural herds that once roamed those lands. Turns out, when they were killing elephants to prevent desertification, they really were having the opposite effect. Watch the TED talk and see wether or not you think his methods have any merit.
@@louishermann7676 it wasn't grazing that did it. Otherwise the bison mega herds that could stretch to the horizon would have done it in sooner. It was turning into arable (farmable) land that did it. The great plains had deep rooted grasses to stabilize the soil, and with that getting tilled... History.
Over grazing creates deserts but when managed properly it regenerates the soil
Interesting video and jury is still out on this.
Biggest concern long term, once the tech goes mainstream. Companies WILL quickly revert back to their guiding principle of 'profit 1st' resulting in us mere mortals being fed, who knows what crap.

@@namename6866 Lmao dude, what makes you think that they'll be feeding anyone human meat? That's insane. There's no motive when it's just as easy to make chicken or any other meat with the process.
How about you explain, why you think this.
I'm curious.
I´m very excited with that and hope the slaughter of animals stops soon. For the IMMENSE reduction in production costs (nearly 100%) it´ll make no sense to kill animals anymore.
Being able to eat meat that no animal suffered for would be a great option for me. I wouldn't mind having to pay a higher price. No too high though, I'm not rich.
My doubts lie on two points: (a) a big problem has been, so far, that processed food have had significant unforeseen consequences, so I am wondering how bad it will be for this type of meat, and (b) considering recent research, diets like LCHF diets have proven that saturated fat is not a problem but other factors are (like sugar) so I am wondering whether the resulting meat will actually meet what our body needs or will cause other unforeseeable bad consequences.
In general, I think this is great for the future, but I am very weary how things will actually end up for us as consumers wellbeing and health.
I'm wondering if the lab meat has the same micronutrients and minerals- those are really important too
@@Approximation Indeed, another aspect is the type of concentrations: there is a difference in nitritional factors between an free vs caged animals and I am wondering when printing how much that factor is shifted to whoever is producing the meat. It is quite difficult to compare the two processes since lab grown meat does not form via a "lifestyle" in a way :) it could cause more inflammatory processes than expected because of how it is printed.. who knows
Interesting points.
The only way we're getting cultured meat to be as good as the standard. It needs to be cheaper than regular meat.
People could have their own cells sampled and cultured to make meat for them to eat. Celebrities could sell meat based on their own cells.
IMHO this will be the biggest ethical breakthrough in all of human history
The Israeli one looks like perfect Shawarma / Donor Kebob / Gyro meat etc, which i think is much easier to achieve (and maybe even more delicious!) that a full on steak.
The scaffolding trick appears to produce good replicas of non-ground meat, although we'll have to see. Possible in future we can have full chicken cuts, including wings and breast, by creating artificial 'bones' as scaffolding and growing the cells around it. Stem cells shouldn't be able to tell the difference. :)

Liked the video but I'm often concerned with the nutrient contents of the meat alternatives. We've been wrong about what people should eat (low fat high carb diet) and others, and often processed food companies care more about taste and texture without much focus on creating something that is really nutrient dense like real meat from ethically raised animals.
Would have loved to hear more about the nutrient content, and soy and canola oil make beyond and impossible meat no go's for me lol. Not healthy.

Great video, the only thing I wish you touched up on was the nutritional facts. Beyond Meat for example is highly processed and high in sodium. It would have been interesting to see a comparison between plant and cell culture, nutritionally speaking
The idea with lab meat is that it would be indistinguishable from natural meat, as coming from the same cells. So same nutritional values, just without the slaughter and environmental impact.
High in sodium, but lower in saturated fat and zero animal fat / cholesterol. Considering that most people are concerned with heart disease (that's how most people die), that's a massive win though in my book.
@@sunnysidedown04 Good point, I hadn't considered the fat
I'm a lifelong vegetarian (Hindu Brahmin), and I cannot wait for cultured meat. Every single aspect about it is positive, from the low emissions, water usage, to of course, the lack of slaughtering animals and keeping them cooped in a tight space never to see the light of the sun. No excess hormones and antibiotics is always a huge plus, and being able to tailor the foods to have more omega 3 and less saturated fatty acids is a bonus.
something else this technology will help with is meeting the increasing demand for meat per person which accompanies economic growth and development- particularly in china the demand for meat is becoming unsustainable
