@@derp8575 Actually looking into the "by 2030 you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" you're also taking it out of context :/ Seriously, look into these things before you start making your accusations. The phrase was coined by a single member, Danish politician Ida Auken, who was writing about a dystopian future where everything was "owned" through a subscription. It was a criticism of economic shifts to product-as-a-service solutions. So not a statement by the WEF as a whole. Not a goal, but rather a criticism of worrying economic trends. But someone probably told you the WEF wanted to eliminate private ownership and you ate it up without a second thought. Thinking with a combative mindset is not the same as thinking critically. Critical thinking requires more than lazily getting your information from a counter-culture source without verifying it yourself.

And as the technology matures, I could see "mico-breweries" but for meat springing up. A restaurant might tout that all their chicken products are grown in house and locals might flock (pun intended) to that restaurant due to their amazing home grown meat. You could even have home town rivalries. One town insists that Joe's Diner grows the best chicken for their sandwiches while a neighboring town swears by Hank's Chicken Hut. And, of course, both would have less environmental impact than if they had shipped in farm grown meat. Farm grown meat would likely stay around, but it would be more of a niche product and the animals would have better lives since they wouldn't need to be stuffed in factory farms.

@PhysicsPolice 11 месяцев назад

I'd love for that to be true, but we unfortunately have good reason to believe otherwise. Cell growth medium is expensive to produce in terms of CO2 emissions [1]. Production of economical growth media dates back to work by Harry Eagle in 1955. It is not a new technology. Biotechnology is a big industry and this component can reasonably be called mature. Evolution had half a billion years to perfect growing animal bodies, including the yummy parts. There's no justification for assuming we can do better in a vat. We're sure to encounter the design challenges nature has already solved using some of those less yummy parts like lungs, feathers, intestines, beaks, etc. [1] 10.1101/2023.04.21.537778

Honestly, the whole "it will never catch on, it's too complicated / inefficient" routine has been done for just about everything innovative, and it's always been proven wrong. At the rate technology is improving thes days, I've seen it happen quite a few times in my lifetime alone. The the world is so radically different from what I remember as a kid, and technologies that used to be expensive, energy-guzzling and impractical have become so common place and relatively cheap, that I have few doubts this, too, can become viable ten or fifteen years from now. The only obstacle is the defeatist attitude that will prevent this technology from being adequately funded and researched untill it becomes necessary, like, yesterday. Let's not kid ourselves: most of the "no can do" blabbing is born out of lobbying from industries that have much to lose from the upcoming (and inevitable) change.

🐣 As a vet student I had to visit a cattle slaughterhouse to learn about reproduction. It was very enlightening. The production chain was very efficient. We each had the option to try and kill an animal. It was very visceral and brutal and bloody even though it was according to standard procedure. It made me very aware of where my meat comes from. I think that everyone should be educated on this, to be able to form a truly informed opinion.

@gianlucazanon1505 11 месяцев назад

@paulacoyle5685 11 месяцев назад

hunting does this also, only the animal has every option to escape. And of course assuming you do it ethically (game laws are geared toward forcing people to do that but there are always bad ones out there). As I've gotten older it's more difficult to get out there and hunt and I've always wanted to have a hobby farm and couldn't and our city doesn't allow us to even keep a couple of chickens for eggs. So I'm stuck with whatever is at the store or local farmers markets or whatever. It's very frustrating to me how our society is geared toward avoiding these realities so that we take meat and animal husbandry in general for granted. (just look at how terribly and ignorantly some people treat their own pets)

this is specifically chicken. stem cell research seems to be able to produce living muscle fibres that function and can be conditioned. obviously there can be no tone without autonomic or somatic innervation, but as long as the muscle thinks that it is in an organism, it will organise itself correctly. this is how we grow working hearts for transplant recipients. the lab grown heart has to pump blood the same way as the original heart does right? 😂 if they figure out the bone thing, they might be able to grow entire cuts. im more interested to see how they do non-lean meats. fat cells are a different beast altogether.

@baggaz167 11 месяцев назад

It depends. I'm self employed so I only paid myself £6k last year, most of which went on rent for my house share. I'm vegan and I managed to do it - just found out what times your local supermarkets reduce their products and get the reduced vegan options that no one else buys, that's what I do 😂 also, Oxford proved that a whole food vegan diet is cheaper than vegetarian or omnivorous diets, so either way, cost isn't really an issue regardless of income. Vegan substitutes at full price are the only way a vegan diet can be more expensive, and that's only because they aren't given government subsidies in the way animal products are.

@handlethisnut 11 месяцев назад

Beans, lentils, potatoes, grains are cheap as heck and they're the staple foods of some of the poorest countries on earth. Typically the richer nations are the more meat-consuming ones.

@debbiehenri345 11 месяцев назад

They said near the end that with current technology, it costs $21 per kg to produce cultivated meat (as opposed to $10 per kg for the real thing). And while the majority of people can't afford to spend twice the money on the same weight/volume of meat they eat in a week, that price is still well within the reach of those who prefer to go to the more upmarket supermarkets (like Waitrose and M&S in the UK). For those who can't afford to swap over to cultivated meats, but want to be more cruelty-free, at least some are going to try them now and again or cut back on the real meat so they can afford a little cultivated instead. For those like me, who have tried veganism, but have other food intolerances, which made it necessary to back off a bit and resort to vegetarianism instead - cultivated meat is a way forward. Vegan meat alternatives often aren't that cheap either, and I don't think it's that big a step to pay a little more for cultivated meats.

They also enjoy music, oddly enough - they come and nestle nearby and close their eyes for their own little chicken hippy concerts.🐣

@aRandomFish1 11 месяцев назад

As a biologist, I frequently see reporting on the hype of "lab grown meat" biased towards the "magic solutions" it will solve, and supposed (claimed) advantages without a proper understanding of the biology of what lab grown meat is trying to achieve. Therefore, there is no rigorous explanation of how they will magically solve these problems "15 years from now, 20 years from now", because currently there are no viable solutions, and they are banking on technology that has not been invented yet (hoping they would be the ones to invent it, patent it and make a boat load of cash). Unfortunately, this video falls into that category. Here's a few major things this video missed. The two main important things to consider in this lab process is supplying nutrients, and removing waste. These cells are cultured in large vats called bioreactors. These reactors attempt to mimic the "body" the cells live in, but the main difference is that they are trying to mimic a process that has evolved over millions of years in nature. Circulatory systems, kidneys, liver, immune systems, none of these processes of which can be replicated to any significant degree in the lab with current or near term technology. These along with the "unused" (this I'll get to) "wasted" parts all contribute to the function of the organism. Unfortunately lab processes can not achieve the same level of complexity and efficiency of the animals themselves, who have existed under selective pressures that have resulted in them becoming the most biologically efficient version of themselves. Humans have managed to improve upon this through selective breeding, and now accelerated through genetic modification, and this is likely the most pragmatic approach for the future of food security. The niche role lab grown meat will fill is growing meat of extinct species, like mammoths for example, for the rich that want to say they ate lab grown mammoth meat etc etc. This is simply marketing for venture capitalists looking for unicorns to throw money at like everything in the tech business, and not biology, and unfortunately I feel like this video does not make a good distinction between that. EDIT: I never got to the "wasted" products. What about things like leather, feathers for pillows etc? I can make a whole separate essay about the intricacies of the meat industry but basically, there are ALOT of things other than meat that come from a chicken or cow that are used. I won't speak for the US, but anything useful that is wasted is money gone in the rest of the world, and in fact a lot of problems associated with the meat industry, such as cruelty and overcrowding, stems from intensive hyper efficiency to reduce waste and cost. I should also mention that speed of growth does not translate to overall yield. The time and energy investment into a chicken has a far greater overall yield than compared to the same amount of time in for lab grown meat.

You seem way more balanced in terms of the pros and cons, not to mention the actual challenges that lay ahead

@aRandomFish1 11 месяцев назад

@@CursedWheelieBin That won't be an area that could be cut. The nutrient has to be perfect, every time, with 0 contaminants, otherwise the entire batch will fail, because the cells don't have an immune system or any means to fend off contamination. It can't be grown in antibiotics if they intend for human consumption. There is a HUGE amount of money poured into developing growth media, and sometimes contaminants still find their way in, and ruin entire batches (I know this from experience). The level of difficulty in preventing contamination is definitely a major issue in this field, and scaling it up like this just makes it exponentially more difficult. The amount of equipment, time, and energy poured into preventing contamination in that facility must be massive. They didn't go into the specifics of what growth nutrients they used, but a lot of the time they are derived from animal products then purified and standardized in a lab (which is why it is so expensive), like bovine serum, so doesn't that defeat the purpose? Is it not easier to just genetically modify a better grain, and feed that to the chicken? There's a reason why chicken costs as much as it does...

The bigger question is whether they'll be able to get the fat cells to be in the "right" spots to create the marbling effect. Having fat and muscle mixed together randomly would (I suspect) have the texture of goop. Might be good enough for ground beef but you won't get a very good steak that way. But hey this is all new technology. There's any number of things they can do to improve it both in terms of price and taste/texture. To get around the mixing problem (assuming it can't just be grown that way) they could maybe look into 3D printing for example - have a vat of regular tissue and a vat of fat tissue and just print it out in the shape of a T-bone or whatever.

Someone with a theology degree, does this mean that halal pork is possible?

@PhysicsPolice 11 месяцев назад

Rabbi David Stav says not Kosher. College of Sharia and Islamic Studies at Kuwait University says not Halal.

@seeafish 11 месяцев назад

Lab grown pork is still pork. Don’t need a theology degree or scholars to work that one out.

@dwirandypradhika6752 11 месяцев назад

Damn, I was hoping maybe because only the animal itself is not halal/kosher that it would make the lab grown meat a green flag, but I guess the parent cells has to come from somewhere... This make me wonder tho, a GMO lab meat could work right? not for any practical reason, I just like playing mind games with my brain everytime some new scientific/philosophical question emerged.

@AryaPDipa 11 месяцев назад

Like you said, the parent cells had to come from somewhere so essentially, you're just multiplying number of non-halal cells, making non-halal tissue out of it. The real question is, if it cultivated halal animal cells, how or when would you "slaughter" it? Coz even halal animals need to be slaugthered correctly to be halal for consumption.

@dwirandypradhika6752 11 месяцев назад

@@AryaPDipa Yeah I totally forgot about the slaughtering part... But the need of slaughtering come from the necessity to kill the animal as quick and humanely as possible (no hunting with arrows bcs it causes slow death for example). Since fiqh by nature evolves with how the civilisation works, I guess lab grown meat just need to be "harvested in the name of god" or something to qualify as halal.

@PhysicsPolice 11 месяцев назад

I feel like you and I watched different videos. This one is a stain on their reputation. They did not approach it with scientific rigor. It’s full of misinformation. For example, they showed the chart comparing per-calorie environmental costs for chicken, beef, etc. but lab grown isn’t on the list! Why not? A recent preprint [1] shows CO2 emissions from lab grown are way worse. So probably that’s one reason why. 1. 10.1101/2023.04.21.537778v1.full

@AngelValis 11 месяцев назад

@@PhysicsPolice We apparently DID watch different videos because these things were addressed in the video. They straight up SAID that the cultivated meat is not, and needs to become, more calorie efficient, and that using power derived from fossil fuels means it is not necessarily any more environmentally friendly than traditional farming at this time. Is the cultivated meat industry banking on techniques and technologies that either don't exist yet or are in their infancy? Yes, of course they are. But this is still groundbreaking and exciting work and trying to tear it down as if it's a failure already is ridiculous.

@PhysicsPolice 11 месяцев назад

@@AngelValis You’re not addressing my point. They showed a chart comparing chicken and beef but didn’t add lab grown to that chart. They left it as an open question when it’s not. The paper I cited gives the answer and it’s not even close. They should have included that paper’s findings in the video. It’s a sloppy and seemingly motivated omission. And you’re wrong. Growing cells in culture isn’t a technology in its infancy. It’s over a hundred years old. It’s a mature, large scale industry. There are basic thermodynamic limitations on the economics and environmental impact of producing it. There’s already a highly efficient, quantum technology that uses sunlight and CO2 to produce food for bioreactors. They’re called plants. Animals eat plants. 🤔 Also you’re arguing against a straw man. I never called it a failure. You’re not going to trick me into shifting the burden of proof. I fully support Upside Foods. I’m on the waitlist to tour their facility, and I’ll be among the first people to pre-order. The way we promote biotech foods is with the truth. Not exaggerations and empty promises.
