Lab-grown meat: Why are countries banning it? - The Global Story podcast, BBC World Service

If we use it in cat and dog food, initially, we could get more production and hopefully bring the price down. The pets will tell us if it tastes like meat

There’s nothing traditional about factory farming.

Money. The reason is always money.

Big food Producers’ margins aren’t very high for whole foods so convincing people that lab meat is preferable and will save the planet is in their best interests.

When it comes to vitamins and minerals, experts always say to take them from real food. Lab-grown meat has factory made vitamin additives to factory made protein. Even comparing real beef, there is a stark difference in omega3 of poorly raised cow versus grass-fed/finished beef, let alone taste and texture.

I still remember reading about lab grown meat in a popular science magazine being 30-40 years away from ready for human consumption in the mid-late nineties and I’ve been waiting for it ever since

Yes you got a point there. If meat bad for environment also the private jets.

Some pioneers disrupting legacy corporate business models, consider corporate narrative the greatest friction to better products and services. -Cigarettes engaged Operation Berkshire. -Fossil fuels engage multi billion dollar funding into climate denial. -EVs are far better than ICE cars. -Electrifying your life with wind, solar, e-bikes, EVs, e-buses, trains, e-BBQs, induction tops is great for individuals. -Lab meat sounds better than 60b killed animals per year. -Proven new products work, however sadly peer pressure bells and whistles confuse some people, who curl up and dribble in the corner like Pavlov's dog.

Entrenched industry doesn’t want competition

It is time for policimakers and industry to advance the discussion and implementation of true price, which includes social and environmental costs of production and consumption patterns. The journalists here should have raise that point, which is central to address the challenges discusses here.

The same as they say diet coke is better than classic coke, but never the case

If something is banned in other countries then it will be approved post-haste and allowed to be sold in America and if something is legal in other countries then it will almost certainly be banned in America.

A product comparable to meat without animal suffering is banned. That says more about the people banning it than about the lab-grown meat.

Lab grown meat will probably take off because it can be engineered with flavors humans crave that may not be available naturally.

The factory in Singapore did not even get commissioned because the arrogant aussie construction head pulled the plug and left the project and violated the contract to seek client approval first before they stopped work.

I remembered as 8 to 9 yrs old in kenya eating giraffe meat. This was on the height of severe draught in north eastern in the peripherals of tana river. I believed the giraffe was stuck in the mud on the edge of the river and subsequently the villages slaughtered it and distributed amongst themselves. Looking bad it feels weird and disgusting but then we had to survive.

I'd want to know how exactly that meat was produced. I mean, every stage and ingredients to make those solution even if I wouldn't know all of them. I agree this lab-grown meat would be a great alternative to actual meat as long as it is at least as safe as some of the safest snacks we eat on a regular basis. I won't trust it for nutrients but I'm not crazy about meat though I'm not vegan. For people like me, I imagine we can eat plant based products and can try this alternative every once in a while. I honestly don't care that much about how it tastes like. As long as it tastes as good as some canned meat or not disgusting, it is good to go for me.

Lab meet may be equivalent with "lab honey"? Peoples are very "happy" eating lab honey instead of bee honey. Please label your product properly,

It would be good idea if it's safe and cheap
