The people that find the concept odd, should grow their own chickens and cows.
@Farmer - Boman I said I will to growing my own chickens not eating fake chicken. You should work on your comprehension skills before you troll.👀
@Farmer - Boman This literally has the same chemical compesition as a normal chicken nugget.Maybe research a bit before saying dumb shit like this.
@Farmer - Boman I have no idea what you are trying to say.Are you saying chicken nuggets are not very healthy so this will be unhealty too?Because you can cook these like normal chicken and it will be just as healthy.There are no additional "chemicals" in this.
@@mahmutcankaya3321 actually what worries me is what it's grown in! What kind of genetically engineered concoction of chemicals that are in the nutrients for it
@@davesbackyardchickensandou3905 The nutrients are bovine growth serum with plant macronutrients(carbs,proteins,fats).And some B12 by ise of bacteria.Nothing else.I don't know why you guys are so against chemicals by the way.Drugs are chemicals.But they are very "healthy".
I'm waiting for the day KFC starts selling crispy chicken legs using cultured meat.
Regular or extra crispy?
In the early stages, regular will do fine.....
yes! In Singapore, if KFC, McDonalds, Burger Kings and other popular food chains use cultured meat in some of their products (to start with), then it could become viral!
How do you know they aren’t already???? Sometime ago there was some circulation about lab meat being used by kfc
@@peacegiver1000 👍 KFC announced on July 16, 2020 it would test chicken nuggets made with 3D bioprinting technology in Russia this fall.
The chain partnered with 3D Bioprinting Solutions to create a chicken nugget that will mimic the taste and appearance of its original nuggets at a fraction of the environmental cost.
Yusef Khesuani, cofounder and managing partner at 3D Bioprinting Solutions, said he hoped the KFC partnership would help accelerate the rise of cell-based meats and make them more widely accessible.
Although it's not currently widely used in food, lab-grown meat is a heavily researched product that many investors hope will be on the market soon. Memphis Meats, a cell-based meat startup, raised $161 million in its latest funding round, and major investors include CPT Capital, a venture fund that has also backed Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat.
Also on July 16, KFC announced it would sell Beyond Fried Chicken at over 50 California restaurants for a limited time after successful tests in Nashville, Atlanta, and Charlotte.

@@saltymonke3682 Long term impact? Am I eating gravel or mercury? What are you talking about. If I can drink 6 spoons of sugar in a glass of coke, smoke cigarettes that have 7000+ toxic ingredients including hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, cyanide, and ammonia or processed meats that contain sodium nitrate to be preserved that we know it damages cells and causes cancer ... how can lab grown meat affect me ... you need to reassess the other foods that you eat not this one.
@@simplepixel5617 lack of several essential amino acids is one. also vitamin B12, since some of them only occurs after fermentation process inside animal's guts, especially ruminants for the B12. Then the agar compound to grow it is another because some agar has tendency to block the growth of some bacteria like in our guts such as e. coli and lactobacillus casei to "protect" the cultured meat. disproportionate microbes in your guts can cause autism. That's why there's a link of autism to both excessive antibiotics usage and cleaning products (because your everyday soap and detergent have inherent anti-bacteria effect).
I don't care about your life, it's yours, but advertising something that is unsafe as safe. that's wrong.
"Some people are skeptical "
People used to be skeptical about electricity.... Just saying....
Enjoy the meat, im sure it taste great
So many unanswered questions! Is it as nutritious as real meat? How much energy is consumed to produce this? Has there been any long term human tests to assess the long term impact of consuming this? Will they produce real pieces of meat like wings, breast or thighs or is it always going to be some nugget? As long as these questions are unanswered, this will only be the next trendy fad for young people.
Yes! Good question! I need this to be answered!
Seriously? They're clones from chicken cells. By definition, its structure and composition is identical to chicken meat. Also, cell cultures are pretty much more energy efficient than animal farming per equal output (by a long shot). That's kinda like asking if solar cells are really more environmentally friendly than 'clean coal.' And if you have to ask about whether this method can create different parts of the chicken, you obviously don't know what cloning is. And I'm not talking about the cloning you see in sci-fi.
@@hjkim6205
You might first want to calm down! You are an expert in this field or just a 15 year old who has read some books and thinks he is something important?! By definition? Whose definition? Yours?!
@@raffiart5121 I don't think he thinks hes something important hes just giving you answers (although not in the nicest way). To sum it up yes its as nutritious as all they are doing is "growing" the meat. It would also consume less energy as there is no need for machines, food, water, or large amounts of land. The long term effects on humans is still unknown, but just assume the best. About the real pieces of meat like wings, etc It is possible it will just take much longer for us to learn how to do it efficiently, so for the time being expect most of it to be hamburgers, chicken nuggets etc. Hopes this sums it up a little bit better also sorry for the grammar/ spelling.
@@gibbyo3408
I would have expected the video to answer these questions based on some peer reviewed scientific work. Anyone can claim anything online. You claim that these nuggets are as nutritious as real meat. They probably contain the same amount of protein but what about other vitamins and minerals? In the last few decades, the ubiquitous use of “modern” agricultural practices have resulted in significant mineral deficiencies. The vegetables we consume have far less minerals than what our grandparents used to consume. I am not an expert in this field and wouldn’t want to talk about something I am not really familiar with but wouldn’t trust some online warriors “expert” opinion over what I eat.
"then there are those who just find the concept odd" and the camera zooms into a random person

They should pass low current / electricity through these lumps of lab meats to make those meat cells form Muscle Fibers.

Yeah imagine all the water we could save
if this solution can be cheap , it has the potential to solve world hunger imo
It eventually will be cheap. It will likely take 5-10 years though. The highest cost associated with production is the media that the cells grow in. If that comes down, everything else will too.
We can already solve world hunger without it, so much real food is wasted in mass production

For those who hate the idea of a lab grown chicken nugget replacing real chickens, think about the kind of uses that technology could find in space, for example when people go to colonise Mars, they’re not exactly going to be able to bring with them chickens let alone all the feed needed for them.
🤔 Smart
Elon musk approves
i don't mind, but there are issues. Some nutrients on chicken aren't readily available on multicellulars stage of their development from eggs. Since some essential amino acids are secreted only with fermentation process in their guts. So does vitamin B12, especially in ruminants. Lack of nutrients will be the problem with those lab meat and also the safety on the growing agar compound. It could impact microbes in your guts since some kind of agars have tendency to block some bacteria to grow in the dish. such as good bacteria like e coli and lactobacillus casei. Unhealthy guts bacteria proportion can cause autism.
it's not suitable for space exploration either because:
1. you need heavy duty energy intensive cryogenic tank just to store the cells before growing it.
2. Nutrients and its storage, you need that to grow it.
3. Biomaterials, scaffolds, hydrogels, polymers etc. to make the grow dish.
4. gene editing materials and expertise for each batch.
Even supplies of MRE is far more cost and space effective than this.
@@saltymonke3682 well bringing millions of chickens and their feed wouldn't work either

I'll stay with my vegan diet. However, I am glad this concept comes to fruition which will save the animals from unnecessary cruelty.
Vegans should approve lab meat.
Amazing video and audio too.
I'm a meat lover and I can't wait for this meat to come to my country, can't wait eating more meat without hurting any animals and the environment! It'll be more awesome if you can put more nutrition in there
And also preventing diseases
Cell meat is great but it won't be as affordable as slaughter meat for 7 - 8 years at best. If you don't want to hurt animals or the environment then why not just stop eating animals?
@@jhunt5578 Because people aren't interested in being preached at by vegetarians, much less vegans.
@@jadis40 Not everyone is as narrow minded as you buddy.
@Empyrean Void I'm Vegan not vegetarian. Vegetarians still pay for animals to be slaughtered. And what is narrow minded about changing from eating animal products... to *not* eating animal products? Changing your mind is the antithesis of narrow mindedness.
This proves that Vegetarians and Vegans secretly love meat...
Do they deny it? Most people who don't eat meat do it out of environmental or ethical concerns. If those are removed, there's no reason not to eat meat again.
They're not vegan or veggie because they don't like the taste of meat silly, there doing it beacaue of the violence and brutality toewrads innocent creatures. Of course they'd have no problem if meat wasn't harming animals anymore.
The majority of these cell meat companies are were founded by Vegans and people who are ethically comcern about animal welfare. Not for the love of meat but because meat eaters are too insane to be convinced that massacring animals for taste pleasure is wrong. So with lab meat, meat eaters can have their meat and eat it too.
of course they do... look at all the meat imitation products they eat
lol no
I just heard this was just approved in the US
Who saw Zack snyder justice league trailer...
Watdefok 😂
I been had the feeling after my first road trip across America .. I felt something was off I felt as if they take something from the chicken and multiply it here it is
I want it now!
This is so smart. I'm a vegan, but most people can't make the leap. I've seen so many people try and fall off the wagon. Since the goal is to reduce and hopefully completely end animal cruelty, I'm willing to admit this is actually more effective than being vegan. Such a smart work around. IMO veganism should support this wholeheartedly.

I would not be happy if it cost the same or more than organic meat. If scaled up this should cost far less that beef/chicken/pork does now. My fear is, the costs to produce will be inflated just like the cost of medications have been so stockholders get their profit. Depressing.:(
If they can lower the price then it will be amazing. I'm trying to convert to less animal food products but plant-based alternatives are too expensive for a college student like me
Plant based diets are healthier without alternatives. While foods are cheap, rice, beans, lentils, root vegetables etc.

People who love animals and cultures that respect them are going to be thrilled with this. But the real reason everybody's going to get on board, it will be cheaper and cleaner than the current forms of meat production over time. Safety standards and laboratories are much better than any meat processing facility could ever be. And having the animal meat ready in one location saves time and money.

Fantastic idea. Good for the environment, good for animals, and good for people since no hormones or antibiotics.
Good for the animals sure, but about the hormone part, there is naturally occurring hormones in animal flesh, this is true for the cultured counterpart as well.

😏
what about production directly? 2 weeks in some big container, but no footage of how it was done. Is this some big secret?
Well guys. Its now been approved in the US. Can't wait.
Especially when we go green.
how long until it is sold in USA?
12 - 24 months, and it will likely be in select locations only at first. It needs FDA approval first.
My biggest question is “Is there a way to make cultured meat cheaper and scalable?”
Humans evolve, so maybe, yes they'll adapt to the conditions and find a way to make a scalable lab meat.
This will be a great solution to both environmental as animal abuse problems. Especially beef which cause the highest green house gas emissions by far. I hope this technology will improve further and will be economically viable for the masses.
Wrong. People cause the highest amounts of CO2 emissions. Soylent Green... Start eating people... Well, that's --- YOUR --- argument.
Why?
Is it expensive?
Haha yes. It was meant to be...little did I know its already here!
So, how much can you eat before it becomes unsafe, and how does it affect one’s health, I haven’t seen nor heard of the studies being done and the results of those studies,
What "cell" is it made of?
It sounds good. But we still don't know everything. Does it have same micronutrients as living meat...
I wonder what the culture is that these are grown in. It would seem that blood would be needed for them to developed.
Also why are they allowed to use the word egg on their products when there is no egg there?

Dairy, meat is done by Mother Nature who does a rather splendid job.
I'm waiting for the long term effect on human.
I suspect lack of essential amino acids is one. Since some of it requires fermentation process inside the chicken guts itself. B12 is also a problem, since it requires the fermentation process to be made. One thing they can do to fix that is by adding synthetic B12 derived from cyanides.
Another one is the agar compounds to grow the culture. Some of it can disrupt good guts bacteria in human. It's an issue since, lack of microbes inside our guts will lead to autism.
Do they use animal stem cells? For lab grown meat,, Fecal Bouvine Serum, is taken from fetuses at slaughter houses, by keeping the fetus alive long enough to drain as much of the blood and then turn it into a serum. What do they use as their serum for their chicken?

Actually its not GMO. Its a cell line taken from a living chicken and its then proliferated in a bio-reactor using specialised growth medium and stem cells. Its quite literally the cells and genes of a living animal, there's no gene editing whatsoever. Instead of the cells growing meat inside a chickens body, those exact cells are taken out and grown into meat inside a bio-reactor like yeast grows bread or beer inside a distillery.
@@jhunt5578 so it's naturally grown.

I hope lab cultivated meat becomes widely adopted worldwide so that prices also go down eventually. I have always been open to move to alternative sources for meat but these things are still relatively expensive today.
If it really takes off then one day we can eventually criminalize the practice of abuse then killing animals to eat them.

Why have there been so many additional chicken farms burning down the past few years?.
I do not believe the climate change claim.
But the cell-based chicken meat is fascinating.
We all need to know what's really in the meat. What are all the ingredients in total?
Put to rest any questionable manufacturing techniques.
not just what's in it, but also what's not in it as in the regular chicken meat
Regulatory authorities and industry bodies will help ensure standards but at the end of the day, you'll have to rely on the reputation of the company. Look up Just's history and Josh Tetrick's lack of ethics and I'd be hesitant about where he draws his ethical lines. That being said, other companies in this space are going above and beyond governmental minimums to ensure aseptic GMP facilities are producing their products. The people who start companies in this space are usually idealists and will hold themselves to higher standards.
The only bullshit here is he only started with less than $3000, highly doubt that’s all.

WOW!
Glad to see them get past the red tape.
Is there a way they can create vegan/cruelty-free dairy?
do you really consider this vegan?
pretty sure they killed an embryo of a bird to get its stem cells to grow bird meat in a lab.
and yes, there is already milk produced in labs.
where they synthesize all the proteins that give dairy its specific taste and texture
for example, modified yeast is used to convert plant sugar into whey and casein.
pretty much same way that lots of vegan milk options out there.
most of vegan milk options is made in laboratories.
Think about how much safer and non- polluting this is. A chicken farm introduces antibiotics into the meat and arsenic is used to irritate the chickens' throats to make them feed. When you move a chicken coup, you leave poison in the soil. The chicken waste is filled with bacteria and viruses and has to be stored to prevent runoff. It is converted to fertilizer. The only question is taste.
But they still feed the chicken cell corn and soy. Now if they can create this and make the quality like pasture raised chicken I will think about it.
i believe they can make it better.
they can do with that thing whatever they want.
its piece of muscle growing in bioreactor.
