What is lab grown meat, and would you eat it?

In this episode of Risk Bites on lab grown meat, Dr. Mariya Vizireanu takes a look at what clean meat is, and what the benefits and risks might be.

Imagine eating a hamburger that is in every way identical to the hamburgers you’re used to eating… except that did not come from an animal. While this may sound like science fiction, cultured meats (also known as lab-grown meat, slaughter-free meat, in-vitro meat, or even clean meat!) may be available to the consumers in the next couple of years.

Written, narrated and produced by Dr. Mariya Vizireanu, Research Associate - Center for the Study of Los Angeles (Loyola Marymount University)

The video is part of Risk Bites series on Public Interest Technology - technology in the service of public good.

where can I buy this? is there any company offering it???

[kolecava]

This is the future. I remember Jason SIlva talking about this a while back.

[MadManJohnSmith]

I think that the lack of water will force the entry. Or at least come with more force.

Does the term "soylent green" strike a familiar cord?

[vivrilcornellius]

Interesting, but really shitty and loud music

It really seems to be too good to be true. The deciding factor is not going to be ethics or the environment but economics. For starters, there's a huge difference prototyping and mass production, transparency is already an issue with meat production due to some companies using water to bulk the meat or even using other meat which might not even be from the same animal and all this is the result of mass production itself.

Employees who produce Meat 2.0 will be classed as high skilled jobs therefore they will cost more and therefore Meat 2.0 will cost more. People don't have the luxury of buying expensive food. You might argue that the farmer costs more but an animal will typically produce more than one thing be it leather, milk, manure or even glue (as raw material) from a cow.

It may be available to the consumers sooner rather than later but it will be food for the rich for quite some time.

Nothing had to die for it? What is an unborn calf? Also its blood, you might as well say it.

Meat 2.0 sounds interesting but it's obviously gonna taste different. 90% of the people might not like it.

[glendahoke]

How do I know what base unit was used to produce the meat? How do I know it is not human flesh? How do I know it isn't dog? or cat? I don't trust corporations and to think they will be in charge of my food is appalling! I trust farmers and natural meat much more than manufactured meat! I think the environment will be just fine with natural meats.
