Show me the meat. (And show me that it's harmless).
- CamperBob2 11y agoAnd show me that it's harmless I'm afraid it doesn't work that way.
- omginternets 11y agoNo kidding. That's precisely what I'm saying: we can't know it's safe. The best we can do is be conservative in managing the risk. The manufacturing of artificial meat is necessarily a significant departure from cultivating it organically. The last time we tried to optimize our food in a non-trivial way, we created something unhealthy enough to be banned 20 years later. This is all part of the empirical process, I understand, but I find it surprising that nobody wants to acknowledge how risky the proposition is.
