    • I feel like this video omitted a lot of points about this industry. Is true that lab grown meat is way more expensive than animal meat, but you're assuming that investing on research in a waste of money because it hasn't make any profit yet. Research in technology and science does not always have to make profit, if that was the case, then organizations like NASA and CERN would be a total failure according to you. Obviously, the investors does not expect to have a large profit in less than a year. This is to make those necessary technological breakthroughs possible in the upcoming years. With these breakthroughs, the resources are going to be reduced and by consequence the prices as well. Even, if the price will never reach the same price as normal meat, a lot of people will be more than willing to pay way more money if that means that no animal is harmed in the process. Also, there new methods being researched than can replicate the immune system from animals in lab grown meat.

    • @@martiddy I think my issue is that lab grown and other fake meats are already being sold as a success while the meat industry is being slandered with inaccurate numbers regarding it's environmental impact verses the environmental impact of lab grown meat. Like great, research the cure for cancer, it's a worthy pursuit but don't lie by saying you've already cured cancer and don't slander the current treatment options just to make your inferior solution look better. That's what I got from the video, it's not slamming research, it's slamming the pretense about the current results of that research. The "fake it til you make it" strategy.

  • I work in pharma and I specialize in microbiological control. They neglect to mention that these bioreactors aren’t the real cost here. Cells need to be grown in highly controlled environments. These facilities will need expensive hvac and air filtration setups, disposable protective gowning for each employee, and rigorous quality control testing. These are all recurring costs that would balloon the final product cost. Of course the standard for food aren’t as high as for drugs, but when working with unproctected cells, it only takes one microbe to spoil tens of thousands of dollars of product

    • @@massi9039 as far as I’m aware, aspirin can be chemically synthesized under minimal contamination control. Harvesting biomolecules from bioreactors (essentially milking GMO bacteria for your compound) is much more difficult due to the need to re-seed organisms, exchange media, prevent cross-contamination, etc. My product is very intricate and expensive. A more apt analogy would be bioreactor insulin, since it’s had many decades of RND, and is in high enough demand to be massively scaled. Based on some googling and a bit of math, insulin would be between 300-400$ per L at cost, which would be about the same amount per kilo. Applying that to meat, your 12 oz steak would be 100-130$ at cost if it were perfectly scaled to market. This also neglects the inherent differences in manufacturing a solid cell product on a scaffold which would be significantly more expensive, even after rnd.

  • As a microbiologist, I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate the extent of how you stressed what an obstacle it would be to keep such a large environment sterile 24/7. Cell-based meat will never, ever be the same kind of thing as some guy taking up a side-hobby of brewing up Schrader Brau in his garage. Brewing not only allows for the growth of microbial life, but its success is based upon creating an evironment for their specific strains of fermentative yeast to thrive. Meanwhile the environment for cell-based meat is just a million-dollar bacterial culture waiting to happen. Mass media only seems to remember the existence of microbial life when the 1%ers decide it's time to crush what remains of that pesky middle class, I guess.

  • I've worked with cells, and it is no joke that those things are monstrous PITA's, despite their small size. The broth itself is 1 issue. In the lab, you have to monitor growth conditions, extract spent growth media, rinse cells with STERILE fluid, apply new growth media, do cellular checkups for abnormalities, and then -- praying to the lab gods -- hope your cells turn out. That stuff counted for a large portion of my grade in the final exam of the class. Still remember one of my dishes of cells being little SoBs. They gave me a not so subtle..., ahem, "go eff yourself" when they turned cancerous and said cancer cells looked like a phallic symbol. Right now, as it stands, lab grown meat is not viable. It's just a proof of concept. We need massive discoveries in cellular growth technology to expedite the process, enhance it's potency, etc.... It will require years of research + massive funding to develop the tech proper. Again, what we have is just an expensive proof of concept. My hope is that on our way towards lab-grown meat, we can use our advancements to create newer methods for people that need special treatments. Cancers, birth deformities, burn patients, and more could benefit from the tech. It would be wonderful if we could take a(n) technique/idea in that division, applying it towards burn ward patients. Imagine the potential at a well-stocked, well funded hospital. We could have a broth/stock mixture in a vial, use a patients undamaged tissue cells, combine the two, and use 3D printing technology on organic polymer sheets aid in recovery, said layer impregnated with a diverse cocktail of necessary nutrients to speed up recovery. Anyways, I do agree we're too optimistic, but we shouldn't stop trying.

  • I think that the greater issue is that we're focusing on replacing cows instead of looking at actually environmentally impacting sectors. Instead of replacing all cows with artificially grown meat we could easily alternate to more energy efficient renewable sources. Windfarms, solar panels, geo thermal powered stations, hydro dams and other hydro related engines. Even nuclear assuming that it's not near high geologically active zones. Penalizing companies for their Co2 emissions, reducing the cost of electric cars whilst increasing the cost of diesel and petrol cars so that they can be powered by the renewable sources. These are the actions we should be taking but instead governments, oil lobbyists and politicians are looking for an alternative wonder drug to solve their problems. Changing from traditional beef sources and replacing them with lab grown alternatives, even assuming it did reduce emissions, wouldnt stop companies from continuing to create pollution. In fact, I'd wager their pollution production would ramp up because they now have more wiggle room to work with, invalidating the efforts to curb emissions. It's kind of like the difference between having $100 and thinking that you have that money spare, vs having that money to spend. Companies will look at the new emission freedom as extra space to use, rather than operating in their current restrictions.

They're just technofascists who think everyone is and should be the same and are so far right wing they don't understand the concept that people are different. I don't drink. I don't like beef at all. I don't like bacon at all. I actually pick it out. When the pork industry puts our seo like the meme "it's like the first time you ever had bacon" and you're supposed to form some sort of memory that's positive. Bacon is disgusting. It's all waste product and no one would eat pork. It was just used to get rid it farm crap kinda like Britain fed dead cows to other cows. The proof that pork is disgusting is the fact that no one just eats steamed pork. It has to be candied salted or anything to override the stench. It's historically a crap meat like eating bugs or crawfish ie. Sea roaches. It's full of parasites. And pigs are really smart. In Hawaii it'd be a ceremonial food that'd be hard to hunt and they were hunting boar not pigs. People also hunt moose. Hart, pheasant etc. But those can't be done with the amount of cruelty. In the butchers that the were shut down by peta you'd inspect the chicken and that would ensure they were well treated. They got rid of all the butchers that would display their animals now they're going after "wet markets" while ignoring how baby rats and mice are fed to snakes and they are always mixed and sick and the cause of animal to human transmission of disease not wet markets which have been a thing forever and is the only way to tell whether fish or fowl are treated well and healthily. If a McDonald's chichen was shown at a wet market everyone would be disgusted. That's the point.

  • As a current post-grad student, I can't stress how difficult and challenging the preventing contamination of the cell cultures. I have way more experience with bacterial cultures than mamalian cultures (aka the meat cells) and the growth rate, cost and difficulties of these aren't even in the same dimension. For example, E.coli takes only around 12-16 hrs to reach lag phase (when cell growth rate = cell death rate), for mamalian cells it'll be around 48-72 hrs depending on the condition of your cells (aka if the cell wants to be healthy or f you basically) to reach confluency of ~80%. The cost of the mamalian cell culture is a gawd damned rabbit hole. Those stuff are just so expensive and the ease of culture getting contaminated just adds salt to the wound. Just a bit of any contaminants get into the culture, boom the whole batch is gone literally and figuratively saying f ur cells, f your time, f your efforts, f your money. 😢

  • Honestly reviewing the landscape of future worries and present day and past disasters, I hold lab meat in the same regard as something like AI. There are huge claims of what can be done based off of what’s accomplished on a small scale. AI may have its advantages in some areas, but I’d never trust one doing surgery. Lab meat seems like a great concept… on paper. In practical application it is much more difficult to scale up. There are many variables and not enough solid guarantee to any claim. Our ego to make breakthroughs at any cost is a high risk.

  • The vascular system: I was fussing with network cables and stuffing them into those cable organizer tubings. And I wondered if there might not be an easier way to organize wired information flow to multiple devices. Then I thought about nerves and blood vessels and regretfully concluded that if biological systems couldn't resolve it without a mass of tubes and wiring either, then this was probably the best that could be achieved. It occurs to me, that when lab meat afficionados boast that they are producing 100% edible product, they are omitting all the equipment that must be utilised to support their endeavors. The vat is equivalent to the skin, the aeration equipment to the lungs and so on and so on. (Edit: Someone in comments pointed to all the disposable gloves to factor in - like shed skin cells. lol) And while it is true that we do not eat bones and hooves, these are useful byproducts used to make bone meal for fertilizer and other uses. What is the leather industry going to do? Rely on plastics?

Anyone who receives embryonic stem cell replacements will be dependent upon immunosuppressants for the rest of their life. Also, last I heard about stem cell treatments, embryonic stem cell research was consistently failing to deliver on its promises, while adult sourced stem cells are already currently being used in treatments. The way that the media and universities ignore these issues really reinforces my view that the hysteria over defending embryonic stem cells had more to do with justifying abortion than with actual medical benefits. Edit: I wrote the oxymoronic "adult sourced embryonic stem cells." Fixed.

But the short-term objective should be to produce "meat" that one can choose to pay extra for, in order to not kill cute animals and yet still get the superior nutrition that animal products contain. The pretense that meat is unhealthy has hindered progress on this front. But there are over a dozen nutrients that are hard to get from plants, yet almost omnipresent in animal products, and THAT would drive progress on lab meat, in a free market.
