5,000 burgers a day: World’s first cultured meat-production plant opens in Israel

how can they be kosher :scratchhead:

Purely a guess, but perhaps there's an exemption for these tumourburgers that categorises them as dairy under dietary rules? If so, then they can be served with a slice of cheese on them without offending the aspect of dietary laws that forbids combining meat with dairy in the kitchen, and at a meal.
But that's purely a guess.

But wouldn’t that mean it can’t possibly be described as “cultured meat”?

Do the public realise it will be the end of open spaces of grassland if we get rid of livestock? It’ll be wall to woodland or arable crops which will then rely on artificial manufactured fertiliser without the animal manure and grass leys to help fertility. Grassland won’t maintain itself without grazing unless it’s continuously mown for digesters which is hardly nature friendly in my view.
Why bust a good natural system which works well and replace it with synthetic biochemical sludge? They don’t seem to see the bigger system in my view. And yes cows produce methane but methane degrades and ruminants were producing methane continuously long before the industrial revolution so it’s not really right that they should pay for burning of fossil fuels. They didn’t contribute to the net increase. Things like air travel did. That’s where they need to be looking.

Do you think that if over the next 50yrs lab grown meat replaces natural meat, the next phase will be industrially produced factory grown vegetables?

Eventually factory food replacing natural food completely?
The timescale is uncertain but its certainly the direction of travel. One of the reason I think that will become reality is Mars.... In order to sustain a population on Mars closed loop food production will have to be achieved.

When the public go into a fast food outlet they are not going to piece together the link between their choice of burger and the countryside, you cant really expect it either! A hungry punters only considerations at point of purchase are price, taste and do they want ketchup and salad. When you or I buy a mobile phone I doubt you or I give a moments consideration to which phone is the product of the worst child labour lithium mining operations, simply which phone best meets my needs and budget.

Curbing air travel, which was forecast to expand greatly well into the future until the plague hit, will annoy many voters. Rewilding of great swathes of the UK will likely please far more voters than it displeases, as long as they don't make a living from a rural based or dependant enterprise which, even if they do, few realise that they basically do.
Everyone should apparently gear up for holiday businesses. Yet 'holidays' do not actually produce anything. To go on holiday takes income and all income eventually boils down to making and selling something in order to afford that holiday and everyone else lives on the backs of those that do.

Wouldn't you have thought it would have been much quicker and cheaper to have gone straight to the raw material, like horse sxxt, and poultry litter, a much more circular economy. A few herbs and spices, a bit of bonding gunge, chuck it in the blender and hey-presto, a Vegan Burger - with flavour !!

But what will the Jocks do ?

50% of Scotland is the Highlands, which has 10% of the population. This is less than the number of Jocks who live outside Scotland which is about 20% of the Scottish population. Anymore wilding and they'll all be shifting to England :)

Quorn has never been taken up by the masses though has it. The acid test is this damn green angle, but not all the public are fooled. A lot will depend on the next generation whom are being brainwashed big time.

A very clever way of using the word meat, is to say 'meat free'.

I see another potential is this meal worm and insects to be ground into protein.

Maybe I am getting old fashioned, but I can see rats becoming popular. I mean theres a nice ring to 'rat burger'.

Sadly this is their strategy. We're at the start of a worldwide experiment to see if man can reduce his own life expenctancy. We're doing a pretty good job so far
