>> Cultured meat production requires a preservative, such as sodium benzoate, to protect the growing meat from yeast and fungus. Collagen powder, xanthan gum, mannitol and cochineal could be used in different ways during the process.
They are all bad for health and simply used to extend the life time of a product beyond its natural lifetime so that the seller does not loose the money and with no other healthy intent.
So instead of working on improving this process we are totally jumping ship to a artificial process? So basically we have given up on such a simple task of raising good cattle which our ancestors have been doing for centuries because some scientists found some cool trick to multiply cells in the lab and are looking for ways to push their cool inventions on the masses to feel good and important?
Poorly growing cattle is a real problem, The more people stop purchasing such products and move towards responsibly sourced and grown chicken or other animals that provide meat this problem can be solved. But why not work towards such a right solution and look for shortcut and artificial solutions like lab grown meat.
How can a lab grown meat and a animal that naturally grow be one and the same?
My answer too is No. I am just concerned poor materials being introduced as food in the image of doing good which may mislead many who don't look deeper.
Just wondering what could be the reason many think lab grown meat is a food when no other food falls in that criteria. Haven't got any convincing point yet. Only some distracting ones which become clear on the second read.
Is there any other lab grown thing that we have eaten?
Does it mean 100 years of data. Shouldn't we see 100 years of data before we decide on whether something is safe to consume. I am sure we have 100+ years of data that consuming naturally grown chicken meat is healthy.
Any idea why they wont have any disease? Because they are not even a living entity. they are just a non living thing, like a stone or sand or plastic or shells in the ocean. Would humans be inclined to eat a non living thing? As a living being i think we should be eating other living beings, like a vegetable or organic salmon...
If we can easily believe that eating lab grown meat and real living natural food is same then why don't we believe fake news as real? They also sound real, they also have words, they also have websites they also appear to have likes...
This effort to make the boundary between nature and artificial disappear isn't it like making ourselves disappear, are we humans not natural beings?
Raising an animal and growing a piece of meat is entirely different things, they don't compliment each other.
Raising an animal is giving it natural food and let its different organs do its work and let it grow into full animal by using natural processes that has been happening for ever.
Lab grown meat is using artificial process to force some flesh to grow which we recently assume have figured out n force ourselves to believe its authentic, This is something that we have found in last few years.
Why would anyone believe a noob tech when there is a grandiose nature in the picture.
>> like with normal chickens you have no idea what exactly what they ate, or how they mutated.
like with lab grown chicken you have no idea what chemical process got misunderstood/ abused, what particular pound of meat did not go through all the process, and how the human error got over looked, and what decaying factor is involved in this...
How come in the same species one crowd can be thinking organic/ natural/ home grown food and other crowd can be thinking lab grown meat...
