Scientists are increasingly concerned that the coming decades will bring #climate conditions that make the future of #food production uncertain.

Enter cultivated meat, which doesn’t come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead it’s grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.

A new Serving Up Science is all about cultivated meat: https://youtu.be/GaX38aFAGSo

Are you willing to try it?

The future of lab grown meat is here! | Serving Up Science

Would you eat steak grown in a test tube? A chicken nugget from a petri dish? It's not science fiction. It’s the next generation of meat, grown in a lab from...

All about alternative proteins, no qualms. But also happy to just be veggie 👍

Another great thing about lab produced meat is there's no animal cruelty involved, unlike literally every other form of meat production on the planet.

There’s not a lot of truth in big food companies. I usually eat local farm grass fed beef and avoid farm raised fish

I would try it. Would be great if this leads to less animal cruelty in farms.

A global agriculture answer needs to be found. Regenerative agriculture practices may well be the answer.

Sure, why not? Grab the fork.

But I doubt it is any less unhealthy and cancerogenous.

I'll try anything. We don't want to be eating food that is delivered from its source by diesel and for God's sake eat what you buy! That u eaten food not only consuned carbon emitting energy to produce, transport and store but it produces methane in the landfill. That's bad right?

In the show Westworld, one of many interesting elements I found of its near-future setting and storytelling was showing a plant where lab meat was mass produced. It wasn't used specifically for any story reason, they were merely supposing it would be a future workplace as typical as a supermarket.

@ceremus I thought the meat lab was where Bernard worked at that point? Really loved that show, even though they had to rush the ending.

Correct! Opening of S3. I was very fond of the show and I'm sad it won't get the conclusion it deserves, but it seems nothing at WB/HBO will be safe with their current leadership.

If it healthy & there is a sustainable method, without harming an animal, why not?

But it depends on the price.
I guess it will be very expensive because you´ll probably need a huge amount of energy or time to grow it.
If so, I don´t see the benefits.

even better is eating vegetables + nuts and seeds. when I tried something like a broccolyburger I wanted meat, eating carrots I know what to expact and do not think of anything else because I don’t expect something else 🥕 🥜 🍐 🥒
