I'm not sure I see the point any more. But I do like my "fake" dairy products...but using a fat and a culture (substituting animal fat for plant) isn't as weird as making meat in a petri dish.
As a farmer with a small family Farm i can tell you that this will not hurt the factory farms, but will push out the small farms from the market
Its what happens every time they try to regulate the factory farms
As on the topic of MRSA, it came from farm as well as from hospitals due to overuse of anti biotics and improper cleaning
And you should differentiate European food and American food there, because we have very different food quality standards and control organs
As a scientist working in biochemistry and with lots of experience with culturing cells (for different reasons), I have to say that I'm highly sceptical that the development will be so fast.
The main reason for this is not that in vitro meat production isn't technically possible - it is. But the problem is that the available techniques are still insanely expensive, which would lead to the meat being non-affordable for most people.
Also, customers have to be aware that for in vitro production, one has to use lots of synthetic nutritients and also antibiotics, whose impact on health will have to be evaluated before market entry.
So I think it'll be rather 10-15 years, and not 3. But I'm happy to be wrong, ofc.
@careywedler hello 👋 sir,,, I think that the biggest problem today is to let the animals do not kill, if you are not allowed to kill animals in the country, then where you get the meat, as well as the price of meat has increased
To anyone who is thinking about giving up meat but isn't sure if it's really worth it health-wise, I suggest you read my article "How to Become Kind of Superhuman": https://www.minds.com/blog/view/857728167669456896
Edit: The environment tag is missing an i ;)
Good
Very interesting post. Thank you for sharing @careywedler
The blockchain of the meat world!
There's an issue that this doesn't address. The main reason factory farms exist is to supply a meat demand that shouldn't exist at the level it is currently at. A huge proportion of the western population eats way more meat then they should and need. This is just changing the source of that supply.
thanks for this interesting story
