The world’s biggest cultured meat factory is under construction in the U.S.

At this point I think companies should be required to run long clinical tests for the "foods" they produce/process. The food industry became an out of control experiment with world's population as guinea pigs.

I think something being overlooked is this creating more centralised control of food production. <i>Especially</i>, if it comes with patents and licensing.<p>This is not a good thing for equitable and available food supply, no matter how it looks on the pamphlet.

Wow. I think the world will be so much better with less cruelty to animals if this works. But I’m not so psyched about eating lab grown meat myself because of the unknowns

From a nutritional standpoint I&#x27;d never touch this with a 10 foot pole.<p>The ridicoulous belief that they can dump some vitamin powders into this and then say this is in any shape or form nutritionously adequate is absurd.<p>Also have fun you and your children being guniea pigs for a novel food that humans have never eaten.<p>The last time we tried such an experiment (~1950 and today) the USA ended up with 30M out of 300M total population (10%) with diabetes.<p>Kids are getting liver disease, which until ~1980 was unheard of (only in alchoholics up to that point).<p>Not to mention the destruction of human teeth and the explosion in other diseases related to metabolic illness and obesity.<p>Knowing this, I have no idea how people can be stupid enough to feed any novel &quot;food&quot; to themselves or their children.

&gt; This huge investment seems like a bit of a leap of faith considering the company doesn’t have regulatory approval to produce and sell cultivated meat anywhere<p>Does this happen more often? There are so many challenges for this technology and almost nobody has ever tasted it, and here we go building a huge factory.<p>I really love the idea, but I&#x27;m still pretty sceptic (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=28621288" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=28621288</a>) about it being realistic. Sometimes I feel most of these companies are just there to burn venture capital and make bold promises, and there are _many_ of them.<p>I&#x27;ll believe it after I tried it for a reasonable price.

Nobody wants to eat artificial meat, but everybody want some other group to eat it.<p>Meat eaters want vegans to eat this thing instead of soy meat.<p>Vegans wants meat eaters to eat this thing to prevent animal harm.<p>Rich people want poor people to eat this instead of insects.<p>And poor people want rich people to eat this as a punishment.

Is it possible they&#x27;ll eventually be able to let people 3D print meat at home?<p>And what about printing parametrized meats with desired form &amp; texture at home?<p>And how different would that be from printing cooked or seared meats, in terms of tech? Could the coooking or searing be customized at home or is it cheaper to print as-cooked by design?<p>Like, this is just my opinion but if this leads to further meat customization, great? What is the downside?

I really want to eat a cellular blend of salmon, pork, beef, and chicken.

I do not totally understand the concept of non-meat meat. If you don&#x27;t want to eat meat, there are a LOT of alternatives.

How can I short this company?

Cultured meat - you mean salami?

I hope those who are against eating meat enjoy this enough to allow we meat eaters enjoy our meat in peace
