Why Lab Grown Meat Could Change Everything or Not.

Lab-grown meat is not the same as plant-based meat. According to the Good Food Institute, Cultivated or lab grown meat, also known as cultured meat, is genuine animal meat (including seafood and organ meats) that is produced by cultivating animal cells directly. This production method eliminates the need to raise and farm animals for food.

In this video, we talk about how lab grown meat could possibly change the food system while also understanding that it may not be enough to revolutionize a food system. Lab grown meat has shown us alternative options to animal-based farming that is intensive in the killing of non-human animals and industrialized settings that are known to have a variety of human and animal rights violations.

As an environmentalist and as a Vegan, I give my nuanced critique on the industry and whether or not I think it is a viable solution. For disclaimer, I would never try lab grown meat, but if there are people who are (Vegan) or not that choose to consumer it, that is their choice. My issue around the developments of the future food systems is that they tend to use revolutionary type language when in reality its capital resource exchange that is happening. I do not think it's the end-all-be all solution to defeat animal agriculture.

What do you think of lab grown meat? Do you think lab-grown meat has a possibility in shaping the future of our food systems? What solutions do you want to learn more about and want me to cover next?

Edit notes for clarity:

This episode was shot back in June. Here are a few notes.

Goodside Meat Co & Upside Food are different companies.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared lab-grown meat for human consumption back on July 1st, 2023. Since its FDA approval, lab-grown meat has also been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Though lab-grown meat is not yet available—and it’s unclear when it will be—the FDA and USDA clearances bring the US a step closer to seeing the product on shelves. (Source Health)

I think the future is going to be very rough for the whole organic/non-gmo, anti lab grown folks. As the population rises these type of technologies are going to expand and become more dominant. If vegans really care about animals why wouldn't they embrace a replication technology that involves no killing or factory farm abuses?
