Cultivated VS Conventional Meat: What's The Difference?

Have you seen the news? A new age of animal flesh consumption is dawning - We're not talking Impossible Whopper or McPlant fake beef patties, we're talking REAL meat folks - albeit produced unconventionally - So, what's THAT all about?

Like conventional meat, cultivated meat consists of animal cells; the difference is cultivated meat is created with cells grown outside the bodies of animals - The result looks, tastes and cooks just like conventional meat. Real deal either way.

Isn't that wonderful? Lab grown meat means innocent creatures no longer need be housed, fed & slaughtered just to satisfy carnivoral lust. But that's not all: Fungi based animal free dairy production is advancing as well! Now how great is THAT?!

Can you imagine an area nearly as big as North America reverting back to nature? That's what could happen if lab based beef and dairy replaced only half the world's meat and milk consumption. Wondering about the impact on your wallet? Well...!

Cultivated Meat Projected To Be Cheaper Than Conventional Beef by 2030

There ya go: in under a decade you can chow down on bovine flesh & be spending less! It's a no-brainer. Save the animals, save the planet, save money. Like it or don't learn to love lab-based meat 'cause it's the best thing going today. WOOO!

Still........comes under "Control" , they can control what goes into that test tube, (for our benifit, of course, :roll: )

I will try to stick to what, I know is good food, "Monsanto" and good food, just don't seem to mix well, in my minds eye. The fact that I seem to have lost a sense of "Trust" to many things, Seems to me at this point, not a necessarly ,bad thing.

Another "Green" Fraud

Post by Riddick » 05-11-2023 01:33 PM

Lab-grown meat has been touted as a way to save the planet, but a new study suggests its green credentials are not as solid as many believe.

Researchers have revealed that lab-grown or ‘cultured’ meat, produced by cultivating animal cells, is up to 25 times worse for the climate than real beef.

In the study, the scientists estimated the energy required for stages of lab-grown meat’s production, from the ingredients making up the growth medium and the energy required to power laboratories, and compared this with beef.

They largely focused on the quantity of growth medium components, including glucose, amino acids, vitamins, growth factors, salts and minerals.

They found the global warming potential of lab-grown meat ranged from 246 to 1,508 kg of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of lab-grown meat, which is four to 25 times greater than the average global warming potential of retail beef.

Lab-grown meat has its origins a decade ago but the industry is still very young, and Singapore is so far the only country in the world to have approved the meats for sale.
