Lol

It's SFW.

They are saying they can grow edible meat without an actual animal attached to it.

No thanks.

They also want to feed algae to cows so they are healthier to eat.

That link did not work for me, found this.

Israeli biomedical engineer Amit Gefen says his plans for a lab-grown chicken breast are just the beginning of a new era in sustainable meat.

Lab-grown chicken meat could hail the end of battery farming

Chicken breast meat "grown" in the lab could replace the need for raising birds - and save the planet

Soylent green.

if this could be extrapolated to beef, all that methane currently produced would be eliminated

Exactly.

Thats a big Nope.

So this is progress?.... factory produced food, farmers out of work, livestock will go extinct with no demand, turn the farms into solar-panel fields to power the production of food.

But then they can make it in cute shapes, like mickeys & dinosaurs, so I'm in....

No matter, the way things are going it won't be PC to eat meat, we'll all be vegetarians.

I think it's an unfortunate necessity.

we simply can't use natural farming methods and feed the planet. chemicals and artificial foods will become the sustenance of the masses while only the upper classes will enjoy natural foods.

Syntho

Protein re-sequencing

Food dispensers which use transporter technology to turn energy into matter

I have zero issues with this concept. Don't get me wrong, I love our traditional protein options, but if we can add a low cost/high output option that can be rationalized I don't see any downside.

JD159 07-21-2016 07:30 AM

Meh, if it could taste the same, I don't see a problem with it.

I mean ethically, the slaughter of millions of animals for our own consumption isn't the nicest thing, so to eliminate that would be a step forward as a species.

I'm a meatatarian.

GH85Carrera 07-21-2016 07:41 AM

If "they" (whoever that is) can make a product that in a blind taste test is basically the same is taste and mouth feel as real meat, great. Next does it have the same nutrition values?

One thing for sure I don't want it manufactured in China. China is happy to sell dog food that will kill a dog in short order just to save a few dollars in the manufacturing process.

vash 07-21-2016 11:01 AM

no thanks. and now i'm officially unafraid to die.

i think we (as a planet) just need to rethink food. it needs to me more local..ex. insane to fly garlic to sell here, when we grow it here.
we need to eat much less meat. our kidneys hate the protein overload anyways. it makes little sense to spend resources to grow food for our food. shrink down the cattle industry. eat more goat?

and bugs. i think bugs will be food of the future. there are millions of bugs and apparently they are great protein.

DanielDudley 07-21-2016 04:14 PM

I see the future of chicken nuggets, and it isn't pressed meat.

Chicken on a stick anyone ?

Not quite sure if I agree with the less meat part. This whole "green" movement is getting out of control. My families previous generations lived off of pasta and meat. I have many 90 year olds in my family.
