Consulting firm McKinsey & Company predicted that 60% of all materials in the economy — including fake meat, fake milk and fake fat — could be produced using synthetic biology, or “synbio.”

It is ok as far as they have the right smell. taste, touch (feeling) and the look.
If it is crunchi it is even better.

I used to love my vegan mayo, vegan bread, and vegan sandwich meats. Yum yum. Just sitting there making vegan sandwiches! :juggling:

I think it will happen sooner than most people think. It does not frighten me as much as the dangers of Artificial Intelligence. People will be able to get the nutrition that they need without killing billions of animals. The pros are more persuasive than the cons.

Poison is OK as far as that will not kill us immediately.
Human defects also OK because it will be the new norm and it also create new business so we got something to do in our spare time.

While the scale of the problem is difficult to measure, it is estimated that food fraud affects up to 10% of the global food supply chain.

Fake meat and milk can be much healthier than their "real" variants. No antibiotics, bacteria, poisons that accumulate in fat tissue like DDT, no blood and pus and less suffering connected to their production. I don't see a problem here if they are made in the right way.

Manufacturers of lab-grown meat like to say that their product is indistinguishable from real meat. It isn’t a copy, nor replica, nor approximation of real meat: it is real meat. But this isn’t true. In actual fact, lab-grown meat cells differ from typical animal cells in at least one fundamental regard: they will replicate eternally if placed under the right conditions. As a result, they are functionally indistinguishable from cancer. They are cancer. As you might imagine, this brings with it image and safety concerns that are likely to prove very hard to shake.

Fake food isn't new, it's been around since Ray Kroc or maybe even before. McDonald's has "shakes" instead of "milk shakes" because there is no actual milk in them. Read the list of ingredients on practically any processed item in the regular grocery store, lots of "fake."

I eat vegetarian to eliminate the worst offenders, but there are still no guarantees - the word "natural" has no legal definition so it's misused across the board. Your best bet is "Read the label."

Lab or cultured meat is very different from "fake food". Do some research.

Also there is no legal agreement that this latest poison will be mentioned on the label.

More negatives for lab grown meat:

https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/05/17 ... y-reveals/
The study reveals the environmental impact of lab-grown meat or animal cell-based meat (ACBM) production “is likely to be orders of magnitude higher than median beef production.”

The increased levels of CO2 would be necessary for the purification processes that supply nutrients to cultured cells – meaning “the removal of cells from an animal or plant and their subsequent growth in a favorable artificial environment.”
