I never understood this obsession with lab-grown meat to be honest. We already have plant-based meats that taste good enough, so I’m just not sure why people are waiting around to eat artificially created animal carcass.
However, I do wonder what the meat industry will do if lab-grown meat ever gets to be a mainstream option. Will they fight against it like the dairy industry does to the plant milk industry?
Real meat still tastes better to a lot of people than plant based meats. If this lab-grown meat can compare to real meat then it will find it’s market with those that like the taste of real meat.
It’s already something Impossible and Beyond Meat are facing - Im sure it will ramp up as price falls and availability spreads.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s top 2019 policy priority is battling “false and deceptive marketing” of what the group calls simply “fake meat.”
That’s predictable but still hilarious. Trying to control what can get called a burger lol.

Love all the messing around with artificial garbage and thrown together trash which will likely in the future be found to really screw up our bodies just because you hate the very idea of being human given that we’re built from the ground up to be omnivores and need meat to survive. Yes, humans eat too much meat. But eating zero meat and using these crappy, potentially dangerous alternatives isn’t the answer.
wait what we need meat to survive? That’s an interesting take…
