Lab Grown Food

[InChrist]

What are you thoughts about lab grown meat and other highly processed foods? Are these foods real or fake foods and are they safe, nutritious, or fit for consumption?

• Dutch investigative journalist Elze van Hamelen reports on the “tsunami of fake foods” being rolled out by the biotech industry
• Fake meats are not about your health or the environment’s; they’re a tool to phase out farmers and ranchers and replace them with an ultraprocessed food product that can be controlled by patents
• Creating lab-grown meat is “insanely expensive” and plagued by bacterial and viral contamination
• Despite the pharmaceutical-style manufacturing, lab-grown meat isn’t considered a pharmaceutical product, which means no human testing is required
• Van Hamelen recommends directing your food dollars not to corporate supermarket chains or fake food products but to small farmers growing real food

I'd rather my meat come from a lab than from an animal who suffered

The article already seemed a bit conspiracy theoryish and then I came to The Great Poisoning. Yeah ok.
Anyhoo there's no meat consumed in this household, whether from evil scientists or from those lovely farmers and health-conscious slaughterhouse workers.

It is justa continuation of his typical nonsense.

For me, it's a non-issue, as I don't eat meat.

But Mercola's integrity is questionable at best given his history. And I agree with @Secret Chief. The article reads like a conspiracy theory with it's language and fear-based propaganda.

No, I'll never eat that disgusting crap.

"Evil Food Supply" posted this. And they put "literally" in the title. As opposed to what? A figurative scam?

Yep. Keep watching....no conspiracy theories to see here...

Don't know anything about it. But assuming it can be made safely, cheap, and tastes good etc. I wouldn't have a problem with it. Maybe you could even get your own machine at home, like a coffee machine or baking machine that can make meat for you, just pour in a lot of tasty chemicals, and 10 minutes later you have perfect bacon

Yeah, because it's not a "conspiracy theory". Our food supply is full of toxic garbage and has been for decades, often for a quick money grab. Synthetic "food" grown in a vat is just the latest example.

I don't see anything in the article that supports the claim that it's an example of food that's full of toxic garbage, but I'll admit it's certainly not a cure-all for environmental concerns or hunger.

That said, given my personal views, if people are going to eat meat, I'd much rather see them munch on flesh that was grown in a lab than from a slaughtered animal.

There's a cancer risk:

"Lab-grown meat isn’t especially healthy to eat. Experts say the cultivated proteins could be defined as ultra-processed, which the National Institute of Health and United Nations researchers have warned against for years. Some studies even show links to cancer and other diseases with certain kinds of ultra-processed foods. It’s too early for any research on the long-term impacts of eating novel proteins, or the effect of using a sterilized environment to create nutrients for people to consume."

Yeah, I know your views on eating meat, which I don't share. Natural is best and healthiest, not synthetic.

Links to cancer from eating ultra-processed foods. Your own quote states that it's too early to know if lab created is linked to cancer or other diseases or presents any risk.

I forgot to address this portion of your post.

There are more than two choices here. I don't eat meat from animals, nor would I eat lab created meat.

I hope it becomes cheap and affordable so that killing animals for food is banned forever.

It is an ultra processed food. I don't know why you'd trust something grown in a vat by a biotech company. I sure as hell don't and will not be putting it in my body.

You want the food supply to be controlled by private companies? How insane!

Yes, I know. I eat meat, but will never eat lab "meat".

I have nothing against private companies. Once lab grown food becomes economically attractive, I am pretty certain that health, nutrition and safety aspects will be regulated just as it happens in meat from big ranches. But it will mean no more killing and big brained mammals being treated as just meat lockers throughout their lives. That is a big win for me.

That's way too authoritarian and naive for me. Thankfully it will never happen.

I can't wait to try it.

I'm sure if it was unsafe, the FDA would never approve it.
