Clean Meat – IOTW Report

Clean Meat

Newser-

If meat grown by scientists using stem cells in a lab doesn’t sound terribly appetizing, consider the perks: It’s more sustainable, it doesn’t involve killing any animals, and it uses less energy than growing real animals to butcher. So the industry behind so-called “in vitro” meat has been working hard to find a way to brand it differently, and they’ve taken a page from the “clean energy” history books and proposed “clean food,” reports Quartz. Not that everyone’s loving the shift; Grub Street notes that while it’s “great because it doesn’t immediately make you think of scientists and beakers and lab environments,” but it’s also “so vague, it doesn’t really make you think of anything at all.”

The Good Food Institute, which is the industry’s nonprofit trade group, is leading the rebranding effort, reports Eater. They’re attempting to make the change as a number of lab-grown meats start to hit the market, notes Quartz. And the industry is getting some serious investments from the likes of Bill Gates, who contributed to the Impossible Burger, the veggie-based burger engineered to taste and even bleed like real meat. (Some say lab meat can be designed exactly to one’s preferences.)

  1. OT, FOX news has finally jumped the shark with a new program “I’ll Tell You What”. Staring Dana (big ass RINO) Perino and Christy Stirewalt, a dead loser with bad teeth. I’m finally done with FaoX.

  2. No thanks..

    This past week the Cracker house has turned all organic with only a sliver of bison meat for our red meat. Threw out the entire kitchen and started over. This next week all the cleaning chemicals will be tossed and natural cleaners to take their place, including hygiene products. All fertilizers for lawn and garden have been organic for the past couple years so that’s taken care of. The goal is to stop absorbing chemicals and anything artificial, these things are killing us. Be wary of the CE stamp (China Export) on just about everything you buy, at the very least that new plastic smell is straight chemicals into your body, especially if frequently handled or worn.

  3. @eternal cracker p:

    A cup of white vinegar dissolved in a bucket of warm water is a good general cleaning compound that works well on many surfaces–woodwok, countertops, glass, tile.

    Baking soda works just as well as Comet or Bon Ami to scrub sinks, bathtubs, and toilets. It also gets rid of unpleasant odors.

    I had to stop using conventional cleaning products about 10 years ago because they were aggravating my asthma. I’m pleased at how well these substitutes work.

  4. It’ll probably be safe until the original strain gets contaminated. Unfortunately, no one will know when that happens, this will have become the primary source for meat protein, and when the bodies start collapsing no one will know why.
