Lab grown meat isn't currently scalable at that level. Wish it were but unfortunately not. Consider not eating meat 👍 it's cheaper
I literally will become anemic if I don't eat meat. I grew up vegetarian for religious reasons; it was hell until my doctor worked with a nutritionist when I was a kid and determined that my body just needs the complex protein density that is provided in lean meat.
That being said, considering the global catastrophe that is the way we produce and distribute meat as a civilization, I'm happy to pay high prices for quality and (relatively) ethically produced cuts.
Of course,
<redacted>tariff wars will hurt extra to me and others like myself.Spinach, broccoli, broth?
Then why are states banning it on behalf of Big Ag lobbyists? If it’s not a threat, why would they?
as if republicans needed a reason to placate idiots with their legislation
Because here in America we longer innovate, we litigate.
Because it isnt households that want it, its the big companies that make processed meat products or burger chains. If moving to lab grown saves McDonalds 5 cents per burger thats 127 million dollars a year. Imagine how much chicken companies that make cheap breaded nuggets use...
The moment it becomes financially viable to build their own factory they will.
My household wants it, and I’ve spoken to many others who want it. And they’re specifically banning it from sale to direct consumers.
Ill rephrase "it isnt the average household" Lemmy skews hard left, go on facebook and see any discussion about lab grown or plant based and read the "I'll never buy this shit" from people who you KNOW wont check the ingredients list before dunking the chicken nuggets into their trolley or their cookies into their trolley if they figure out plant based eggs...
It can still cut into profits even if it isn't scalable to being a full solution and it is still worth it for consumers even if it can't be worth it for every consumer.
All this can still be true even if "lab grow all meats. problem solved" is not true (or at least not possible, even if it is a logically valid construction).
Well then you should present your research to the Big Ag companies, and cash your massive check. Apparently you know something they don’t.
I mix my meat with veggies and carbs to make it go longer
I think thats just called a balanced diet man /s
Nah, that's not balanced yet. You gotta take the combined weight of all that other stuff, and eat twice that in bread and carbs.
this post brought to you by the old food pyramid
that's just a food triangle, now square that amount of carbs and we've got a pyramid. i took geometry duh
Which has the added benefit of tasting super nice
it's more of a seasoning now
