Is the only argument against lab-grown meat that it disrupts an existing industry? Because I’ve yet to hear a legitimate reason why this is a bad idea.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

The same people losing their minds over GMO crops are embracing labgrown meat. Why would you trust this? It's the ultimate processed food.

[-] capital@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

I’m for GMOs and lab meat.

At the same level as yours.

[-] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Instead of useless hostile replies, people should have just informed you that you're likely confusing plant-based meat alternatives like impossible Burger with lab grown meat. Lab grown meat is still meat and it's not processed from a bunch of ingredients it's grown, just not on an animal. I'm sorry lemmy is so toxic. People should be allowed to not know everything, I think.

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

I think you're allowed to "not know everything" in most places. Usually, the issue comes when you make a factually-incorrect or demonstrably-false statement with no explanation to back it up. I typically only see downvotes when a comment is made with undeserved confidence and/or exudes a sense of arrogance.

they say bipartisan but the only democrat I see mentioned is fetterman. which does make me wonder about him more.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 55 points 6 months ago

As a member of @SenateAgDems

There you go. Agriculture lobby.

John Fetterman continues: " and as some dude who would never serve that slop to my kids,"
More likely the kids will serve it to you? LOL

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 28 points 6 months ago

I've never been more disappointed in someone I voted for than Fetterman.

Which is saying something because they're all pretty disappointing.

[-] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 26 points 6 months ago

It seems like his stroke really changed him, like personality wise. It's just a shot in the dark, but I wonder if it really did. I really liked him before.

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 13 points 6 months ago

The dude was always for shitty things like fracking. But he does seem to be worse everyday.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 6 points 6 months ago

I never should have trusted someone from York County

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

Your other option that cycle would have been so much worse.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

It's not a real election in America unless you're choosing between less worse and more worse.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 6 points 6 months ago

If it makes you feel better I would likely have voted for him before to if I lived in the state.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 60 points 6 months ago

Reduces cruelty, so of course they hate it.

[-] PoliticalAgitator@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Reduces profits, so of course they hate it. Every doomed industry rushes to turn their products into the front line of a reactionary culture war.

“It doesn’t even make sense to me why someone would want to eat that,” Balsick said. “For us as humans to think that we can make a product better than God can is interesting.”

Vs

Are nuggets made with lab-grown chicken a more questionable choice than, say, milk from a cow that’s been fed ground-up chicken waste, a common practice which experts say may be contributing to the spread of bird flu?

[-] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

“For us as humans to think that we can make a product better than God can is interesting.”

And yet I bet this doorknob still eats bread, a product much better than the raw grain God provided us.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 18 points 6 months ago

All of us can do LOTS of things better than god. For starters, we’re visible. When someone asks us a question, we respond - and often in a clear, simple, unambiguous way, too. We can demonstrate our effect on the physical world. The list goes on.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I was gonna say, has this clown never heard of cooking

[-] capital@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I guess we’ll also ignore how different the animals we raise now are from what they were originally.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 24 points 6 months ago

There are many interesting questions surrounding cultured meat, but I’m mostly concerned with two of them.

  1. Is it any good?

  2. Is it reasonably priced?

There are lots of thought provoking discussions to be had, and I’ll be happy to read them, but the practical issues that impact me directly are the ones I care most about.

[-] jose1324@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Its literally the same meat, but guaranteed no parasites and shit.

Not yet

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

What happened to free hand of market etc. God I hate hypocrites

[-] mr_robot2938@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

According to Nature, the products begin with a small sample of animal cells, typically muscle cells, which are cultured in a controlled environment like a bioreactor. Provided with nutrients and a scaffold for support, these cells multiply and differentiate into muscle tissue over the course of several weeks.

Anyone know what the scaffold is made out of? The nature article is paywalled.

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I don't know specifically, but here is an infographic of the different types

Infographic by the Good Food Institute of the different types of scaffolding used in lab grown meat
