US approves the nation’s first ‘lab-grown’ meat

[user 31232]

Ummm...... what are we talking about here......

Why chicken of course

This is scary stuff. But I guess it will free more farmland for China to buy, or joe to build ghettos for us non-compliers.

Arthur Clark wrote an hilarious short story called ‘Food of The Gods’ about congressional testimony about unfair business practices about a century after such a development. Issac Asimov wrote a similar novella about it.

I’ll have to take a pass on this one - I like eating chicken off the bone and if there are no bones how can I make chicken broth

Down here we have a chain of restaurants that specialize in beef from the owners ranch, grass fed at that. I'll stick with that kind of meat for the next 10 or so years

And next year, we'll be eating Soylent Green...

Does nothing for me, i had much rather eat some good cooked beans n or PH peas n cornbread.

Beans ! Remember the bean scene in blazing saddles ? Now that was a movie that made fun of everyone and nobody was offended! Gotta love Mel Brooks one of the greatest generation!

Tastes like chicken ha. Might just have a practical use for this when moons from now when colonizing the moon or Mars.

Well this can be very useful for outer space colonies etc. they would have very limited resources thus cultured meat would be a huge plus. Anyway at the rate the world population is growing this may be the only practical way to have meat on a dinner table.

On the plus side this stuff is going to be priced like gold plated chicken. So we don’t have to worry about it any. Only the rich will be able to buy and eat it. In the future Us common deplorables will be lucky if we get processed insect protein.

I think I’ll pass on this latest insanity.

I'm with you, no way I am gonna eat that BS. I'll become a vegan before I eat fake laboratory meat, I mean what the Hell is this world coming to?

 

[AlexB]

I would eat the scientist before I ate that.

 

[JeffG]

Not a chance.

We know that the meat we eat has the flavor it does because of what the animal is fed. Change the feed and the flavor of the meat changes also.

SO — this "Franken-meat" will either have very little taste at all, or will taste of the chemicals and gases used when it is cultivated.

If that is so, then the maker will have to add artificial flavor (chemicals) to make it palatable.

While they are doing that, they will not be able to resist the temptation to "improve" the product by adding certain healthful ingredients like insect protein.

Not very long ago, we were advised to eat a natural diet and to stay away from processed foods and artificial flavorings.

I guess now it's "Never mind..."

Meanwhile, in the Homes of the Rich and Famous — they will be eating filet mignon, lobster, grouse and pheasant from

farms and hunting preserves that we the peasants are not supposed to know about.

Yep. The list of do’s and don’t s has changed so much over my lifetime that I stopped listening decades ago.

I have plenty of deer, squirrels and groundhog around.
