because thats stupid, unrealistic, and a nightmare to produce.
Today sure. Every new technology has.
Doesn't mean it is the same in the future.
yeah, well, you got a point there. sure.
but every media source talks about lab meat like its a viable thing to manufacture, sell and buy. like a real alternative to meat. i found only one place to buy it, read this:
"For the first time in history, you can buy cultivated meat in retail to cook at home. Our newest product, GOOD Meat 3, is now available to buy in the frozen groceries section at Huber’s Butchery, one of Singapore’s premier producers and suppliers of high-quality meat products. This delicious, shredded chicken is made with 3% cultivated meat in combination with plant-based ingredients, similar to the way we’ve always made our chicken. GOOD Meat 3 gives us a way to make our cultivated meat more readily available, while we continue to scale our technology."
so 3 percent lab grown meat is in the thing you can buy.

but i doubt they sell it, because its not listed in their shop.
Every single piece of technology that you use daily without even thinking about it because it is so deeply ingrained in your life at one point had people just like you talking about it just like that. You people never figure out that today isn't the rest of time. It's like the opposite of object permanency or something, some people just can't figure out that now isn't here forever.
i am autistic for a reason, but, its not my goddamn fault that you can't buy this stuff anywhere, while you vegan folk make playpretend like you could do that.
At this point, it's basically a technological marvel. You're definitely right about that.
Give it 10 years, and I'd be willing to bet you'll be able to buy 100% lab-grown meat at rates that are at least competitive.
competitive to what , thats the question ;-) but yes, you are completely right, i dont know what the future will bring.
Competitive to slaughtered meat. Lab-grown meat is literally just meat. The 3% stuff is just a gimmick. Give it a decade or so and I think we'll have 100% lab-grown meat.
I could even see it being cheaper and just as good as (if not better than) slaughtered meat in the future. Kind of like lab-grown diamonds compared to mined diamonds.
it will never be cheaper than slaughtered meat.
and this is the reason: the whole angle is you eat it because you like animals, your health, and nature. so it will never be cheaper than actual meat.
not because thats impossible; but because someone wants to make money.
if ot would be cheaper, than price would be the main argument; but it isnt.
the main argument is health and nature and climate change.
I could see lab-grown meat becoming cheaper simply because it requires less land. Eventually, the only slaughtered meat will be from the farms that do it out of passion, and you have only the free-range, organic, good lifestyle kind of farms that already charge a premium.
The ones doing it for money would be happy to use less land and resources to produce more meat more easily.
Of course, we have no idea what will actually happen. We can only really guess.
yeah, you need less land for that, but a factory, huge vats, a laboratory for quality control, plumbing, huge amounts of water. it will be a bit similiar to a large brewery, but way more complicated, since you are not dealing with liquids that you can pump around when its done.
those who own these factories will not be farmers.
