FDA Says Lab-Grown Meat Is Safe To Eat. Would you consume?

I was excited about lab grown meat as a vegetarian. It’s being marketed as meat without the cruelty or carbon footprint.

The amount of electricity, factories workers and industrial processes required to make that stuff at the industrial volume it’s made leaves a much larger carbon footprint than regenerative farming does. Many of the regenerative farms out there which are growing exponentially are becoming certified as carbon negative thanks to how ruminants work. Plus, they’re actually putting back into the soil instead of destroying it and forcing the use of more and more synthetic fortification so that anything we eat can have nutrient content.

Plus, they’re actually putting back into the soil instead of destroying it and forcing the use of more and more synthetic fortification so that anything we eat can have nutrient content.

And not only is that a good thing in itself, but it also reduces the carbon footprint of meat production by eliminating or at least greatly reducing the need to manufacture fertilisers out of petroleum.
