Arizona may join Italy by banning lab-grown meat from the state
Two bills introduced into the Arizona Legislature may signal that the 2024 sessions of those “Laboratories of Democracy” will be something of an
Reminds me of cities banning cars to prevent horse drawn carriages from being obsolete. Stupid.
I guess the meat is not the same if nothing suffer in the process.
I mean, you can really taste the suffering
More republican virtue signaling bullshit
Also this was pretty lulzy:
Arizona State Rep. David Marshall, R-Snowflake, and four co-sponsors have introduced House Bill 2121, prohibiting cell-cultured animal products.
I thought the article was dunking on him at first, but it turns out Snowflake isn't just a conservative state of mind, it's also a small town in Arizona.
Hahaha this is fucking hilarious
I think "vice signalling" makes more sense here
Why did Italy ban lab-grown meat from Arizona in the first place?
I'm excited to try lab grown meat when it's more widely available. It's one of the few upcoming technologies that I can actually fully get behind.
Lab grown meat huh....
Anyone can tell me the taste of lab grown meat compared to natural meat ?Reports say they taste identical, because it's literally the muscle being grown.
It's been a year or so since I've looked into it, but from what I've seen the issue isn't taste, it's that the texture is awful. That'll obviously improve with time though.
It doesn't really, because the slurry does not contain any fat.
Tast… no. However I can assume it has less plastic in it.
at this point I wouldn't even make that assumption
I haven't tasted myself but the consensus from what I saw is that "is dry but very good" it doesn't cook well in a BBQ but in dishes works well.
It doesn't mean anything. When this product is mature enough and ready to be mass marketed, the bourgeoisie will simply do the good old lobbying of the government to unban it
This ban is completely pointless because lab grown meat will always be an expensive nieche product anyway.
Not at all. The goal is getting the price comparable. They’re pretty close. It’s SO much cheaper to grow it than to raise actual animals. And you don’t have to worry about your animals getting sick, infecting the others, and killing off an entire group.
You do have to worry about infections. Not in the same way, but yeah. Those cells are alive and they can be infected.
I suspect an infection would actually be far more costly, and far more difficult to control. Keep in mind it’s grown vats with a shitload of plumbing attached. Animals have an immune system… these vats don’t. They rely on remaining completely sterile, except for the meat-cells.
It seems that way now, but we don't know how expensive it may or may not be in the future.
Meat is also expensive if it wasn’t subsidized
