'FUTURE FLESH' IS SQUATTING ON YOUR PLATE

[jose v]

Are you nervous? Stab it with a fork. Sniff it. Bite! Chew, swallow. Congratulations! Relax and ruminate now because you're digesting a muscular invention that will massively impact the planet.

In-Vitro Meat -- aka tank steak, sci fi sausage, petri pork, beaker bacon, Frankenburger, vat-grown veal, laboratory lamb, synthetic shmeat, trans-ham, factory filet, test tube tuna, cultured chicken, or any other moniker that can seduce the shopper's stomach -- will appear in 3-10 years as a cheaper, healthier, "greener" protein that's easily manufactured in a metropolis. Its entree will be enormous; not just food-huge like curry rippling through London in the 1970's or colonized tomatoes teaming up with pasta in early 1800's Italy. No. Bigger. In-Vitro Meat will be socially transformative, like automobiles, cinema, vaccines.

Kind of like 'pre-moistened' toilet paper -- it'll NEVER catch on.

I don't know why they're wasting their time.

Oh wow i had know idea about soy. Ok yes i agree somewhat. If we could make it free of corruption of any kind, then its a decent alternative, but, well i guess i cant count on humanity not being bastards for once. I hope there will come a time when greed is obsolete.

I dnt know if i could be a vegetarian. Its would be hard. Is there a plant that tastes like beef. haha a beef plant. A questions Simone. Where does you main source of protein come from?

[Vaddix]

sorry i meant unnatural.

[Vaddix]

No disrespect tacken. i see what you mean. It feels... natural. but its just animal muscle tissue. easy to grow.You wont be complaining its unatural when they use the same process to replace human organs. Imagine. There would be no more need for donors or lengthy waiting lists. Organs will be on the cheap and made from YOUR own cells. Their making printers that print organs.
Its not already corrupt. I see it as no different than growing soy as a replacement for meats. Its just that its tissue that's the reason it freaks everyone out. I really dont think there is much to be scared of from this technology. its healthy and in terms of growing organs can significant increase your life span. Wich shouldn't be too much of a strain on the populace considering we have the technology to live complete self sustaining, provided the technology eventually get released.

On a side not there is a huge agriculture problem with beef. This is a viable solution. Its this or we change our diets, and to be honest, you'd have a better chance convincing the American public money inst needed anymore than to ever ever give up beef.

Huh! Doesn't make much sense!

Jose, These "Pre Moistened toilet paper" Will catch pn and ideed needs to if we are ever going to be a 100% self sustainable society. Let me give you a very numerical example.
Bovine excrement (cow poo) actually contributes to 30% of total green house gasses. This is due to the methane released, which is ten times more detrimental to the environment than c0'2.
Right now at least in America, 70% of all agriculture is grown specifically to feed livestock.
So In- Vitro - Meat, is a blessing cuase it tackle to irds with one stone. 30
5 of the green house gasses, and of course a much wider variety of vegetables for us to consume. This will only push agriculture in the fields of fruit and vegentables.

Can you see the enormous advantage of in vitro meat?

I suppose there is its short comings, Wen we start eating geneticall grown muscles, well, we dont know what they put into to, and the field of industry could be potentially corrupted.
