Is cell based lab grown meat the future of meat?

Looks like lots of big time investors getting behind this company/product.

Memphis Meats Raises $161 Million In Funding, Aims To Bring Cell-Based Products To Consumers

... The Series B round is led by SoftBank Group, Norwest and Temasek. Also joining the round are new and existing investors including Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Threshold Ventures, Cargill, Tyson Foods, Kimbal Musk, Fifty Years and CPT Capital. This round extends the Memphis Meats coalition to Asia, which is a strategically valuable market for cell-based meat and faces significant challenges in meeting growing demand for meat...

I’d eat this stuff and hopefully they engineer it healthier vs. conventional. Question is what are the long term effects? Would you eat it even if you were vegan? This sounds promising if it proves to be as true as promised. Who wants to eat dirty animals anyways pumped full of antibiotics and other shit and filth we have little clue about.

This video explains what this cell based meat is about.

If it tastes just as good and there are no apparent adverse effects, I would definitely eat it over animal meat.

Well, it’s difficult because a steak, for example, has several components. There’s muscle tissue, fat, myoglobin, etc. so it may be difficult to be able to grow meat that has that nice marbling that makes a good steak so delicious. For ground meat, patties, etc., it should be much easier. That said, if they’re able to figure out a cost-effective way to do it, I’d absolutely eat it. Why not? There’s no downside and not having to raise animals for meat would make a huge difference in mitigating our environmental impact.

NO!

Because lab grown meat does not contain vital vitamins or minerals, this can only be achieved if they are raised and fed a proper diet.
Given that, chicken is also a shit meat as it only takes 6 weeks from a chick to be fully grown, during this time its not possible for them to accumulate anything substantial even if they are fed a rich diet.
Chicken breast is lean, sure, but it lacks all sorts of nutrients found in grass fed beef and other animal products.
Even then, soil that has been used over and over actually often will lack these minerals which can make it hard to get in the diet of the animal and thus us.

We done fucked up thanks to the industrial revolution.
Magnesium is a big one, but there are plenty of others that the average person is deficient in.

Vegans are stupid and need to take supplements for B12!

On another note.

How do corporations make plants taste and have mouthfeel resembling real beef? Chemical additives. After all, veggie burgers don’t grow in the ground. They’re made in factories.

Here are some things you might not know are in that veggie burger:

Tertiary butylhydroquinone. TBHQ is a synthetic preservative that prevents discoloration in processed foods. The FDA limits the amount of TBHQ allowed in foods because studies of laboratory animals has found an association with TBHQ and cancer.

Magnesium carbonate. Remember when some bread was accused of having a yoga mat chemical? Well, magnesium carbonate, used in foods to retain color, is also used in flooring, fireproofing, and fire-extinguishing compounds.

Erythosine (Red #3). Red #3 is an artificial food coloring. The FDA banned the use of Red #3 in products such as cosmetics in 1990 after high doses of the substance were linked to cancer. But it can still be used in foods like fake meat.

Propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is an odorless, colorless liquid used as a moisturizer. It’s also used as a liquid in e-cigarettes and is the primary ingredient in antifreeze.

Ferric orthophosphate. Also called iron phosphate, this chemical is used to fortify foods. It can also be used as a pesticide to kill slugs and snails. While generally considered safe (for people) in food in small quantities, it can be a skin and eye irritant and may cause an upset stomach.

Enjoy your fake meat.

I think you are missing the point with this cell based meat.

What happens is they take real meat cells from animals and feed them nutrients and other stuff to make them multiply and grow the meat artificially. So in theory you should get the cleanest type of meat provided you fed the cells the right ingredients.

I think even with the cell based stuff there is controversy such as some companies experimented feeding the cells animal blood while other companies have other solutions.

It sounds like Memphis Meats has the healthiest and most natural approach by feedings the cells amino acids, nutrients and other good things. "Memphis Meats has developed production methods that do not require fetal bovine serum (FBS) to grow their cells, and they do not expect to ever sell products made with FBS."

Does it matter for you if that cow had a haircut? Will the "amputee" cow that had one leg removed when it was a calf will taste differently than a 4-legged cow? If you were a cannibal, will you discriminate against eating children that were put in an "incubator" different then the ones that spend entire 9 month inside the women. Meat is meat, it is the same chemically does not matter if it grew on a cow or in the lab. It is the same cow meat, just grown outside of the cow. It is not "plant-based" meat imitation. Yes, different parts of cow taste differently, may have different fat ratio, etc., but it all can be reconstructed in the lab. It all depends on the costs. You can have cheap mass-production lab meat that tastes as your average Walmart cuts, or, if you pay well enough, they may grow the most delicious meat for you that now individual cow can grow. And overtime teh technology will be much cheaper. Biological science is the future of this planet.

Your whole argument was that plant-based meat contained a bunch of chemicals, which isn't at all related to lab-grown meat, and when someone calls you on it, you don't even admit your mistake.

Not that there isn't concerns with lab-grown meat. But there are problems with any kind of meat, or industry in general, where the principle is less to do with quality and more to do with greed. Grass-fed, free range is one of the better options for sure, but there's no reason lab-grown can't be just as good, depending on their methods.

What on Gods beautiful earth gives you the minuscule idea that I think I’m wrong?
Admit my mistake? What gives you the slightest idea I’m “wrong”? Someone posts something and it’s the TRUTH?
You’re obviously a CNN junkie.
Please give your head a good vigorous shake,

Lab-grown meat is not plant-based meat. You are equating two different things.

Your whole initial post was about fucking veggie burgers and their issues.
