I suspect they will taste nearly identical to store bought ribs.Bring on the lab grown ribs!
All the deliciousness, none of the guilt!I suspect they will taste nearly identical to store bought ribs.

Yeah it seems the main benefit to all of this is the reduction of factory farming and the overall environmental benefit that many vegans cite (even though this isn't technically vegan).I've not eaten meat in 25 years. I don't think this will change that, as I don't have an apetite for meat. The thought of eating it turns my stomach, regardless of whether it's from a wild animal, a farmed one or grown in a lab. I'd imagine a lot of people would feel the same.
If this stuff can prevent the massive environmental problems traditional meat production entails, then that would be huge.
Farm to tableBBQ parties in Laboratories soon!
Grown in lab. Bbq'd in bunsen!
I've not read the thread..this 'cultured meat' going to lower my cholesterol?Yeah it seems the main benefit to all of this is the reduction of factory farming and the overall environmental benefit that many vegans cite (even though this isn't technically vegan).
Farm to table
Yeah, my biggest hope if this works out would be the eventual death of factory farming. With a majority of meats coming from the lab and a niche of premium live animal meats that focus on quality and ESG metrics. Free range and all that jazz. So no more inhumane treatment of animals.Yeah it seems the main benefit to all of this is the reduction of factory farming and the overall environmental benefit that many vegans cite (even though this isn't technically vegan).
Haha yeah. Very true. They don't have a good supply of fresh meat (a lot are chilled or frozen) so the smell on a lot of the meats there is quite bad.The meat in Singapore taste quite bad anyway. Probably no one will be able to tell the difference.
Singapore is a small island with no land for agriculture. A large majority of their food source is imported. So you can imagine securing their food supply is a primary concern for them. This pandemic actually put a spotlight on that as well.Why is this a big issue?
So it's just one of those gimmicky novelty food stuff? Yes
Is it health safe? Yes
Ok. Here's your permit.
Just like any other food product. They're not doing it out of supporting vegan or anything. Chicken rice is still their national food.

You are like the argument uncle in every party who takes a contrararian stand and does it very annoyinglyWhy is this a big issue?

Actually that is the whole point. Singapore has very little land for agriculture. Being able to produce more food in less land, and lab meat is perfect for this, will go a long way for them to be able to produce some of their food supply locally without sacrificing too much land. And it is the gov's stated goal to produce, I think, 30% of their food locally. All this is about food security. They don't want to be cut off from food supply too easily.That's a different matter.
Singapore has no land to produce their food supplies, so either way it's all imported.
Just saying that this probably has nothing to do with go vegan or anything, it's just another day another product being imported. Singapore isnt' very particular about what their citizen eat. I'd hazard a guess this "cultured meat" would be a novelty item for the vegans and will be sold at a very premium price, probably higher than the actual meat.
Should I jump for joy? Way to go Singapore? Take that chicken vendor?You are like the argument uncle in every party who takes a contrararian stand and does it very annoyingly
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-53438680Isn't whe whole environment damage caused by farming overblown?
...the production, processing and distribution of meat requires huge outlays of pesticides, fertilizer, fuel, feed and water while releasing greenhouse gases, manure and a range of toxic chemicals into our air and water. A lifecycle analysis conducted by EWG that took into account the production and distribution of 20 common agricultural products found that red meat such as beef and lamb is responsible for 10 to 40 times as many greenhouse gas emissions as common vegetables and grains.
Didn't mean compared to veg, obviously its worse. I meant more so in the scheme of everything, isn't it minimal compared to other things?
What other industry produces billions of tonnes of animal effluent on top of the methane emissions and deforestation etc? Not to mention the devastating contagions that keep cropping up due to our relationship with 'livestock'?Didn't mean compared to veg, obviously its worse. I meant more so in the scheme of everything, isn't it minimal compared to other things?
Will read articles at lunch, thanks
Yeah. I imagine this process will take decades, but I'm sure we'll get there eventually. Barring any unforseen circumstances.I think the only way this will take off on a massive scale (to the point you really reduce the impact) is if it's quick, easy and relatively cheap to produce. I can't imagine many chain restaurants opting for this if it costs a lot more than the stuff they get now
Surely that would be pretentious meat. Cultured would be meat that likes to travel and experience new places.Cultured meat?
What, does this meat listen to Bach and speak 8 languages?
