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 ;)

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.

I’ll definitely try it, but the big question is how much does it cost? I could see it actually being significantly cheaper, but probably not at first, and if it costs more than regular meat it’s gonna take awhile to get mass adoption. Once it’s significantly cheaper though I can’t imagine the average person not being hypnotized by their wallet to buy it. Even if they’d like to say it’s gross now.

Not long ago, when I worked for an international sausage manufacturer, I asked if the company was looking into the possibility of lab-grown meat.
In addition to the fact that the current system is unsustainable, lab-grown meat would produce more consistent quality raw material and free manufacturers from the price fluctuations of the market .
They looked at me like I had gone insane. Hah! No so crazy now, am I?

I don't eat meat anymore, but if I were to eat it again I wouldn't eat the new meat from a lab. I would probably go with grass fed organic beef. Or something someone hunted in the wild. To me "clean meat" was an animal that walked on the land and lived like an animal would 1000 plus years ago. Eating what it would naturally, not getting injected with antibiotics and raised in cage. Lab meat can be an alternative for other people and maybe someone needs that. I encourage all people to eat as clean and conscious as they can. Try a new diet it for a month that is clean and see how your body feels with it. For me it's organic green veggies, some eggs, and fruit mostly.
