How to make LAB GROWN MEAT - Synthetic Meat Production

Scientists are growing meat cell by cell in the lab without GMOs. This "clean" meat is developed by multiple startups who are hoping to be the first to launch their lab grown meat into the market. As no animals are harmed, this meaty food is gaining support from vegans as well.

The meat industry is responsible for around 15 % of all greenhouse gas emissions

Growing livestock uses around 25 % of available land and very large parts of fresh water reserves

The meat industry is the biggest consumer of antibiotics, leading us to antibiotic resistance and an era of super bacteria

Reviews of lab grown meat:

Lab grown meat may be quite energy intensive and beads can used as the framework for the cells to grow on:

Memphis Meats says they have come up with a serum free growth medium

Just, Inc. (In the article still by the name Hampton Creek) say they also have come up with a serum free growth medium. Also about Memphis Meats serum free growth medium

According to Just, Inc. the first product hitting the markets in 2018 is something avian

These videos should get more recognition considering how much effort you put into these.

If I ever opened a restaurant in the future, we'd be the first to embrace lab-grown meat.

[glennfield]

what a great video, saw your comment on the Kurzgesagt video and just watched your video. they pretty much told everything you said in this video but they didnt go in much detail about lab meat like in this video, Keep the video's coming man! +1 sub

[badasunicorn]

If lab grown meat was in the same price range as regular meat I'd probably exclusively eat that.

[omeryazc]

I simply can not believe how well made this video is, splendid editing and audio-visual usage, simple yet thorough explanation of the topic and referencing of every single thing. I am truly in awe, subbed immediately, keep up the good work!

[kuiperokke]

What a great video again. I’ll absolutely go for lab-grown meat when it hits the stores one day. Facinating topic.

[leinine]

just for talking about this particular topic and explaining it this good, your channel sub count should be multiplied by at least 100.
Very underrated video of a very underrated channel.
As a person who's really concerned about the main causes of climate change, i am very impatient for lab grown meat to become the norm

[HamajiGotTalent]

I'd definitely be open to eating lab grown meat if it ever becomes commercially viable.

[comicoy]

This is so well made. I'm an aspiring bioengineering major (on top of being vegetarian) so the topic really resonated with me. Keep up the great work with this channel. Just subbed and shared 👍

[thataperson]

I mean, I'm fine with Lab-grown meat as long as it tastes similar to actual meat, you know? But I am definitely excited for this kind of research continue, even though I was just made aware of this problem of meat with Kurzgesagt's video.

[probower]

I came here from your comment on the Kurzgesagt video, must say I'm glad I found this channel. Tolles Video :)

I love meat, but I am also aware of the huge impact that the meat industry inflicts. I would give this stuff a try.
It's interesting that the industry as it now exists is essentially an animal version of a concentration/death camp. Many animals are crammed into a small space, standing in their own filth, injected with antibiotics. There are slaughtered, butchered and bled in unsafe (at least sometimes) and unsanitary conditions where cross-contamination can spread disease vectors across an entire country.
Meanwhile, lab grown meat is considered

[dellmai]

Facinating video! I probably wouldn't eat lab-grown meat, but that's because I don't eat meat. But it's nice to hear that people are trying to find new solutions to one of the big problems of today.

[brandon_goes_backpacking]

I'm not a vegan but I would defiantly eat lab grown over livestock meat

[kklc]

This video is so underrated, wish I could discover it earlier saving me from reading tons of academic papers
FYI, now there are lab-grown steaks out there created by 3D bioprinting

[tttttaa]

Very Nerdwriter1-vibe videos, but for science. Love it, subbed :)

[danrasmussen]

A very well done video. Do you have any sources for someone interested in reading further into pluripotent stem cells? Keep up the good work!

This is proof that we're a holy species capable of empathizing and communicating with any part of life anywhere in the universe. Your desire to deeply communicate can only be matched by your desire to deeply care. And our empathy that watches and feels is what makes our ability to understand and communicate completely pin point and precise.

came here from the kurzgesagt video about meat, great idea to advertise yourself there ;) really nice and informative video i hope you'll get a lot of views soon :)

Just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it (and your accent too). Love from India
