Hang on, wasn't @Cowabunga berated and ridiculed in a previous thread where he was suggesting that maybe people in this industry were not taking such things seriously enough and not understanding the forward momentum in this drive etc, and here we are seeing what is one of the first of many buinesses going to be cropping up ever so quickly now...

Looks like its gonna be an interesting time ahead..
Was he berated or ridiculed, or were people a bit taken aback at his aggressive arguing that he was a latterday Nostradamus? It's not exactly news that there's a tidal wave of money behind all this. It is about nothing else other than people trying to make mahoosive amounts of money. The fact that they're lying to people is sadly what the advertising industry is based on. They have perfected the art of the outrageous lie, it's unprecedented. Par for the course these days.

Look a bit deeper into it George. At the end of the day, it's all about the money. FM are just another manufacturer thinking they can make oodles of cash from idiots by flogging patented ultra-processed cr@p to them. Investors like Tyson Ventures don't bankroll such endeavours for any other reason but to make money!


Ultimately companies do what they do to make money in wjat they are pushing its capitalism- the market supplies the demand if theres demand for synthetic meat, suppliers will develop infrastructure to meet demand

That is to suggest that we live in a free market economy. We don't; the free market is an academic abstract that exists nowhere in the World. To have a free market you need no barriers to entry, no Govt interference, perfect knowledge, a load of others I forget.
So, accepting that the economy in general and the food chain in particular is controlled by Govt, the only question is: What do we wish our food system to look like, and what measures must we put in place to achieve that ?

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Americans consume an average of 2.4 burgers per day, which is about 50 billion burgers per year. And that fact is just one of many about the food that will not only blow your mind but make your mouth water

So what's the target consumer here? from what I've read this ultra processed sh1te isn't vegan and I can't see meat eaters flocking to eat something that has been described as tumours.

How can this artificially produced food be called MEAT,surely "There can be no such thing as cultured meat" as the definition of meat in the OXFORD and CAMBRIDGE Dictionary is "the flesh of an animal or a bird eaten as food" , NOT a plant produced product .:mad::mad:
I personally would not be against these man made foods as long as they in NO
WAY had an association with the word MEAT.
I may be wrong but I think the producers of these man made foods have not yet thought up an out of the box name for their newly created products which have no connection with REAL meat.

2.4/day?? That can't be right surely?

I can tell you obviously feel quite strongly about all this and I totally get where you're coming from.
Well thats ultimately where this will end up if things go the way they want isnt it ?
Instead of farmers looking after all the fantastic farm animals out in the fresh air in the countryside there will be boring jobs in some factory somewhere growing tumors and passing it off as meat with a few chemical flavours added, spose most of it will be automated so there will be very few jobs anyway apart from in the bullsh1t I mean advertising department, all us farmers will have to get proper jobs doing something else and watch the countryside grow over as we remember the good old days when the countryside was full of lovely farm animals that actually seem glad to see you in the morning rather than miserable tumor eating people that aren't.
Still I spose we could get a job for the council keeping the footpaths and roads clear for the ollyday makers to be able to get round, not much of a veiw though is it, overgrown fields full of weeds, scrub trees and brimel bushes and in time it will be so high they won't be able to see much at all, that won't attract many folk will it.
Perhaps in time they will come up with some scheme to pay the land custodians to get the fields back to the lovely green patchwork way they were in yesteryear and keep them like it you never know future generations whose only knowledge of fields of farm animals is from the tails their farmer grandparents would tell them may go off to zoos to purchase cows and sheep to breed up and do the keeping clear job that they are so good at, countryside maintenance with livestock may become a well paid and highly respected job with true pride taken by the countryside maintainers in the maintenance animals they keep, who knows they may even have competitions where they all take along their best animals and someone judges them and there would be lots of trade stands selling everything to aid countryside maintenance and lots of other things to do and food sellers selling tumor burgers of corse thats not there real name its just a nickname used quietly by those that are highly suspect of them giving people tumors.
Ahh twill be a grand old life in countryside maintenance not so much a job more a way of life with plenty to take pride in, much better than a job in one of those vast factories growing tumors, of course they are coming under increased scrutiny for the pollution they cause not to mention the public health aspect what with life expectancy back to just 3 score years and 10 at best, wonder why those countryside maintenance folk aways live so long and why do they always seem to have less maintenance animals than they should come tally up time, they blame the wolves but who knows?

While i do not agree with this ,unfortunately i think it is going to be a reality in the next 20 years .A lot of processed meat is consumed in
the world and it all has flavourings and chemicals in it.
There will be a very small proportion of meat consumed with out ingredients being added only the very best cuts, even our uk local butchers will use lots of artificial flavourings ,pies ,sausages ,cured cold meats the list is endless .We need to be prepared ,how i do not know
