Cultured meat

[KennethT]

I ran into an interesting article talking about cultured meat - meat not made from traditional agriculture, but basically grown in a lab...  I'm curious as to what people think about it.

Pretty sure it's been discussed over in the Kitchen Consumer thread, but am just passing through my office and haven't searched.

Circled back and found the thread I was talking about, now that I have a few minutes at my computer. It's this one: 

I'm sure there are mentions in some other threads as well, if you wanted to dig farther.

I have the feeling . . . a couple years from now, , , the media will be screaming about all the bits and pieces of "lab meat" that have been shown to kill you . . .

 

who knows.

on the extremist side, all the GMO crops are fatal to humans . . . as humans continue to survive for another century or two,  I suspect some of the "irrefutable science" will be "modified"

They address this in the article.... 

 

"More than a decade after the world’s first cultured hamburger was announced, the hype has virtually disappeared."

 

But the thing here seems to be that niche players are producing a higher quality product.  Not a replacement for burgers, but Foie Gras.  But not that fois gras...

 

"Rather than trying to perfectly replicate a chicken wing or rib-eye steak—products that traditional animal agriculture already produces and consumers are accustomed to—companies that are finding success are creating entirely new culinary experiences that excite chefs and diners alike."

I can't help imagining various cuts of meat in an orchestra when reading the thread title 🤭

Coincidentally (?), a few days ago, Chinese social media had several people posting a video (in English) giving some cartoon-like 'information' on the lab process. The AI narration was like kindergarten lecture level., so I ignored it. If it reappears I'll capture and post it. Maybe in Food Funnies.
