Optimistic ...
My first thought was that some company will immediately start pumping this fake meat full of growth hormones because ... why the hell not?
"We can make it cheaper, more readily available for the many, for the poor, with the same growth hormones we use on real meat"
And they'll lobby that through ... and people like cheap ... and people will get used to eating absolutely fake meat ... and they'll forget what the real thing actually tasted like.
It'll "taste like chicken" ... but they won't really know what chicken (real, healthy, decent chicken) tastes likes ...
And ... there's a Matrix offshoot here somewhere ...
- cobbzilla 8y agoYes, and there is precedent! We still have Government Cheese [1], which is just barely related to real cheese. Perhaps Government Meat would be an improvement? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese
- krageon 8y agoExcept in countries with a real food safety authority we won't suffer from this problem, so it is up to us to assist third world countries and the US in creating an agency that does its job right.
- HNLurker2 8y agoI would be happier tasting fake meat than having animal suffer for my own taste
- TheTruth1234 8y agoMe too. Except for the part where unscrupulous companies then get on board, take it to regulatory limits and beyond ... and make fake meat ... well ... even faker, and dangeorusly so.
