      Youghurt, beer, wine are made through the process of fermentation of naturally produced/grown material while this is cells growing in a controlled environment.

    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.

    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.

      Which experts with PhDs are u referring to? Even if we assume that statement is true there’s no evidence that slightly more omega 3 or other vitamins and minerals increase quality and quantity of life.
      Plants proteins have been proven to be beneficial (2 healthy twins have similar body composition if calories, activity and total protein are similar/equated even if source of protein is from rice as long as the total protein and calories are around the same) and lab grown meat also significantly reduces emissions.
      1 lb of cows is like 10 lbs of chicken in terms of emissions according to bbc emissions chart and other sources so eating anything other than cow and being able to convince others to do the same makes a difference and slows down detrimental global warming worldwide.
      Plant proteins have even lower emissions and the animals appreciate it. A 3rd party tested multivitamin might prevent some deficiencies in a portion of the population. Some ppl even ppl that consume animal products are deficient in b12, iron etc and experience symptoms which are resolved when their body absorbs enough vitamins and minerals from a 3rd party tested multivitamin to guarantee potency and purity since a lot of supplements are contaminated due to lack of regulation due to supplement lobbying and lack of care from the public

      just as meat, plants are also essential in human diet, however so much drinking water and so much "good land" is required to grow plants. because not every plant will grow in poor soil, and even fertile soil is getting slowly depleted - we have less vitamins/nutrients in plants now than ever before... (hey, while we're at it, plants also have intelligence and consciousness, easily foundable on YT documentaries can shed some light on this question as science is moving forward in research) yet i don't go shouting to b@n plants. humans are *omnivores* and we have our intestines with only one stomach and our "mixed" teeth shapes to prove it. vitamin B12 deficiency is a very serious thing, btw, which causes permanent nerve damage as well as other symptoms, including cognitive impairment. if you can handle plant-based diet only (which is not very natural in colder climates, i mean without modern "global" market our ancestors didn't have avocados lying around in the north of europe, where surviving winters required a bit more than turnips or potatoes), so better be careful and supplement B12. i try to eat a well-balanced diet which includes a little bit of everything, and i still supplement but just a little bit extra, nothing crazy.

      When I was vegetarian I thought the same but I've recently reintroduced fish and meat back into my diet after 7/8 years due to health issues. I will only eat organic and grass fed meat and won't have it more than once or twice a week. If eating fish and organic grass fed meat helps my health should I ditch it and feel unwell again? Sadly I'm not sure vegetarianism or veganism is sustainable long term for some people. I wish it was, I didn't think I'd eat fish or meat again but if I need it to survive I have no choice but to eat it.
      There's enough unnatural crap in our foods as it is making us unwell so I don't see why they wouldn't just do the same with lab grown meat which is why I don't trust it. At this point I think the paleo diet sounds like the healthiest option, eating all organic and only consuming foods our ancestors from the Paleolithic diet ate. I think we should definitely make sure that the living conditions for farm animals are more humane i.e free range and we should limit our meat consumption but some people genuinely need it in their diets and different people respond to different diets.

      We are already unwell because of unnatural crap in food like glucose-fructose syrup, preservatives and additives, corn starch and much more so what's to say they won't just add the same crap or other things into the lab grown meat? We should make sure that all farmed animals are free range and treat in a humane way while alive and should limit our meat consumption but to trade in real organic grass fed meat which is natural to our bodies and even our paleolithic ancestors ate for lab grown seems like it's gonna really have a negative impact on our health.
      I say this as someone who had cancer 9 years ago prompting me to do a ton of research into health and nutrition. I was vegetarian for 7/8 years but have reintroduced fish because I had low vitamin D and have had a lot of health issues since last year, I'm starting to eat organic grass fed meat again once or twice a week in the hopes that my health might improve as well as cutting out the bad ingredients I previously mentioned. I'd have loved to have stayed vegetarian but I think different people react differently to different diets so sadly being meat and fish free isn't sustainable long term for some people.
      As for AI, good luck if it becomes self aware. Also maybe research a guy called Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum and the Chinese social credit system. If AI takes over jobs they'll introduce Universal Basic Income but make it so that you can only claim it if you get a digital ID which is incredibly totalitarian in nature.

    What concerns me is the constant craving for meat-like products. It feels like an addiction that many people have developed. Instead of exploring the wide variety of natural ingredients available for cooking, there's a tendency to focus on finding plant-based replacements that mimic the texture and taste of meat.

      People like meat because it's tasty, easy to cook and supplies a wide range of nutrience. Lentils, nuts and mushrooms can all be delicious, but you need good cooking skills to make use of them. If you overcook mushrooms they'll be bland and soggy, if you don't thoroughly wash lentils they'll give you gas, nuts are easy to burn and they have strong flavours that don't go with every meal etc. It's so much easier to just whack some chicken in the oven and know you're getting enough protein and nutrients for a complete meal, even if it's not necessarily healthy it's sustenance.

    why is not someone thinking about side effects. why are us human keen to create problem themselves , playing with nature and then finding solutions to combat those issues. yes here we are trying to save the environment by playing with human health as to how would that impact our health that would be discovered ten years on.

    Part of the reason for the large adoption of UPFs is because it mimics traditional foods. The ultraprocessed nature is hidden. For cultivated meat, even though it looks like traditional meat, the fact of its cultivated nature of it is not hidden.

    Lab grown meat is also not free from antibiotics as they want us to believe. You can't grow cells exponentially that are taken from farm animals without adding antibiotics. Becauae the bacteria in the cells of the farm animals will compete with the cells and eventually degrade them for nutrients. Therefore, it's not antibiotic-free and healthier. Furthermore, lab grown meat won't taste and have texture like meat if the initial cells are not taken from animals. This means that the farm animals are still required to grow the lab meat.

    I hear a lot of disconnect in statistics dep. on source (go figure..). Anyways, BBC is saying livestock production accounts for 14% of greenhouse gasses (INCLUDING methane). A DW doc. (less trustworthy but still pretty decent) said it's the majority of greenhouse gasses - unless they're talking about Methane first? It'd be good to get some clarity on this, since it's the #1 argument for lab grown meat (to me it's more important than the killing of animals in the grand scheme. Your opinion may vary)

    I think lab-meat is and always will be a gimmick because why would anyone who eats meat spend more money on something that isn't 'proper meat' and the meat industry will fight lab-meat tooth and nail. Many meat-eaters spend a lot of time talking about only eating grass-fed meat so I don't see them digging into lab grown meat that hasn't ever seen a blade of grass. People who are truly concerned about the environment, just go vegan. It's simple, easy, tasty, ethical and efficient. Why make things more complicated than they need to be?

      Being picky about the provenance of your chosen meat only works if you can afford it. There are whole sections of budget supermarkets that could have many products switched, from reclaimed/reformed "meat product", to simple lab-grown. All things being equal, it could be more nutritious, tastier, and better for the environment.

    I think it is great. Just think about the unnamable suffering it would eliminate. I myself might try it once, just because I am curious. I am unlikely to buy it a second time. Why bother? My life has become so much easier since I stopped using animal products so, the reduction of suffering is simply not a good incentive to ever go back to eating animal products, even if there is no more suffering involved and given that it is still rather bad for the environment doesn't help.
    So, for me, it's better than 'real' meat, but just not an attractive product anyway.
