  2. Plant based meat and milk is pretend. Just like Trans are pretend, Justin Trudeau is pretend, and climate change is pretend. Why are so many people so retarded??

    1. Playing pretend and dress up can get you elected Prime Minister … repeatedly. Why? Adulthood now arrives at about age 45. Our population are nothing but dependent children until they’re too bald to fake it anymore.

      Children. Peter Pan syndrome writ large writ pervasive

  3. Science Fiction comes to the real world. This may be a great solution for colonizing the Moon and Mars.

    Here on Earth? 40 Acres and a dozen cows beats it all to hell.

  4. 48 square feet was enough for 7 rabbit cages which fed our family of four for years. Three does and a buck. A cage for each and a cage for the previous litter of each doe.

    1. I guarantee you that every one of those 8th graders eat chick-fil-a and MacDonalds 5 times per week … their experiment is designed for … other people.

      1. The Kids’ Experiment is designed for Space Exploration.
        Growing food on the Moon and Mars.
        If it looks it could work on Mars?
        Elon Musk might invest in it.

  7. If they are going to pour money into lab grown meat, they should be trying to grow arms and legs for amputees.

    A 70,000 sq ft facility that only produces enough protein for 227 people for one year. I wonder how much the end product costs per ounce.

    1. Taco Bell changed their regular ground beef into something utterly unrecognizable as a NATURAL meat product about 20 years ago. I haven’t been back in 20 years. PepsiCo owns them, as I recall. Effing multi-National leftist corp.

      1. Taco bell beef used to contain silicon dioxide for texture. It honestly hasn’t been as good since they took the sand out.

        Mountain Dew was ruined a couple years ago as well, when they replaced brominated vegetable oil with gum arabic

  10. Their goal is $60 per Kilogram wholesale….
    They have had $178 million in funding.

    At full production of 22,680 kg per year, if they charge $60 per KG, they should make back their funding , assuming no other costs, in a mere 132 years…. (Revenue estimated at $1,356,000 per year)

    On the other hand, you can order a half a beef (250 lbs) at a current cost of ~$11.60 per pound, butchered, for authentic 100% Ontario grass fed natural cow.

    1. “Their goal is $60 per Kilogram wholesale….”

      Prime rib locally is retailing 40-odd bucks/kilo. Even if I was a virtue-signaller, I know which way the wind blows…

  11. There are also two interesting point. The piece talks about “sav[ing] potentially trillions of animal lives”. In reality, if a product like this would come to replace naturally grown meat, trillions of animal lives would never actually be (which is their dream). The second point is: “Over the last few years, start-ups have worked to identify “immortalized” cell lines”. From Wikipedia, FWIW: “There are various immortal cell lines. Some of them are normal cell lines (e.g. derived from stem cells). Other immortalised cell lines are the in vitro equivalent of cancerous cells. Cancer occurs when a somatic cell which normally cannot divide undergoes mutations which cause de-regulation of the normal cell cycle controls leading to uncontrolled proliferation. Immortalised cell lines have undergone similar mutations allowing a cell type which would normally not be able to divide to be proliferated in vitro. The origins of some immortal cell lines, for example HeLa human cells, are from naturally occurring cancers. HeLa, the first-ever immortal human cell line, was taken from Henrietta Lacks (without informed consent […]) in 1951 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.” Based on what I have learned about the FDA (etc…) in the last few years, I am sure the issue of whether or not eating the product of immortalized cell lines grown in big stainless steel vats may have long range health effects on humans… is just not important…

  12. No one in their right mind believes concoctions from a chemical factory are healthier than what nature provides. So, intrinsically, this is a mental health issue.

  13. Essentially they are cloning meat.

    So do they need a real meat source for each batch of ‘product’? Or can they repeatedly use the ‘product’ as the source for new batches of product?

  15. That’s less than 2 acres.
    227 people/year on less than 2 acres ain’t bad.
    Depending on how capital, energy and labor intensive it is, I can see companies like Maple Leaf and others jumping all over this, heck they might even abandon bugs.
    It’ll be funny to see all those people who don’t think GMO food should be labeled as such start eating this crap without knowing it.

    1. But did they do a comprehensive environmental impact assessment which includes the effect of sourcing all the raw materials, steel, concrete. etc required to build the factory?
      What about sourcing all the chemicals used to create the meat
      What about the waste from the factory? Where do they dump the liquid from the vats used to grow the meat?
