Is lab-grown meat the future of food?

[Pogo]

Americans love meat. And despite a whole range of new plant-based alternatives that have hit the market, our appitite for pork, beef and poultry only seems to be growing.

In the past few years, however, scientists have made breakthroughs on products that promise to allow Americans to keep eating the food they love without any of these negative consequences: lab-grown meat.

That shit aint happening here in Texas. I think the governor has already blocked it. Here where I live in Central Texas one needs to be aware that cattle will get out and are stupid. Hitting one with anything less then a semi Tractor your going to be sorry you did. Lots of smaller fed lots around. The best close by place to eat is the cafe at the cattle sales barn.

Flarda has already banned petri dish meat thanks to gov DeSantis.

I'll pass on the FrankenFood. The wife just scored a number of nice steaks for us the other day at Costco, to keep us going through whatever happens after the chaos this November.

I’d rather eat possum meat than lab grown meat.

Agreed. One is just as vile as the other.

.....visions of a huge mass of red "meat" growing constantly inside a large stainless steel vat of "nutrients," requiring near constant "trimmings" as it grows and grows....hundreds of those vats. In row after row with automated machinery "harvesting" the "crops" of red meat. Technicians in white lab coats, clip boards in hand, circulating among the "grow vats," tweaking, making minute adjustments, while eight foot slabs of "beef" freshly sliced from the "cows" in the vats are conveyed to the refrigerated preparation line for trimming and packing. Much as New Bedford whalers processed harpooned whales, with rendering pots and flensing knives, many years ago but now, automated.

I must be suffering from " future shock."
