Would you eat it a " Bio Steak "

[Goldfreak]

Last year China spent 300 million dollars to develop " bio meat " with an Isreali company which is essentially meat grown from animal cells in some sort of medium. The implications could be huge for agriculture and the enviroment. So who is up for a Frankenburger ? :Y:

:awful: hahhaa no thanks... but then again im pretty sure the meat from maccas is probably made that way :lol:

I like the Angus burgers at makkas, forgot which fast food chain paints on the grill lines though.

 

[Smoky bandit]

Mmmmmmm bio meat :skull:

Of all the fast food outlets I reckon Maccas is probably the most trustworthy when it comes to quality.An abbatoir I used to work at would produce meat for Maccas and I am happy to say that it was actually quality meat.Mcdonalds has very strict guidelines as to what produce they use in their products (unlike some of the other fast food outlets).They even had a representative on site to oversee the processing.

Don't feel that I would eat bio meat....

But if you was at China and was hungry , are you going to ask if this is bio meat or are you just going to eat it with out thinking ?

Most Ozzie people love there meat.....I no I do

 

[Gem in I]

firstly what is considered (meat) in china ?

secondly if they made it in the shape of a ribeye I probably wouldn't care.

could be good for extended space travel but I can't shake the idea yet seems the same way to make bacteria in labs.

Realities stranger than fiction sometimes, maybe not as funny though. As cell cultured steak does not have a brain I wonder if vegetarians could ethically eat it ? Sure would beat a lentil burger.

 

[goody2shoes]

What concerns me is, where do they stop?

Bio potatoes?

With all this bio hazards,

If something go wrong can it be fixed?

The antibiotics that they have now are struggling to cope,

But how would you know if you are really eating bio steak? How can you tell you're not getting ripped off and being fed bio cat or bio puppy?

my last answer to a vegetarian/vegan who tried to give me a guilt complex (& failed)
"My ancestors have been hunting, killing & eating animals for about a hundred thousand years, & I have no need or intentions of going against the training of my forefathers" a phrase my mate once found somewhere "Cows, made out of food"
Maybe sometime in the future it wont be feasible to feed an overcrowded planet without artificial food products, but until then Im going to keep eating animals. If the Veges (human form) don't like it then they better stay out of the way of my knife n fork or I may even turn cannibal (just kidding) :skull: layful:
NB, some peoples in this world have forgotten that white man too was once a formidable hunter with wood & stone tools. I learnt these skills at a young age & can easily make spears, bow & arrows, stone knives, etc & hunt my food if the world collapses. I have taught my son many of these skills too. Who knows, one day we just may need them.

Or worse, a fly somehow gets into the replicating/growth chamber

If people don't want to eat real bacon why eat fake bacon?? I cant get my head around that! Im going for a beer :beer:

 

[LONEWOLF]

Vegan friendly 'Bacon'.... Next time you are at your local supermarket, it is found in the cold section next to the Tofu.... I never tried it and never will.... Daughter went through a small phase in her life and tried it and other things, but soon realised that isn't her style... {) {) ]

I can't find any reference to this when I Google. Where did you find it?

Found it - "Right now, eight companies in the world are working to produce a scalable version of this high-tech, vegan meat and three of them are in Israel".

I assume that "scalable" means making more than a few grams in a petri dish, and that it has not been done yet. "vegan" means it doesn't require slaughter (it still appears to be animal cells). Probably as exciting to eat as tofu sausages. Considering a steak is made up of different cell types (comprising fats etc), I suspect it may be boringly monotonous. Imagine marbled bio-meat! :awful: Bio-rump or bio-porterhouse anyone, or can I offer you a bio Scotch fillet?

Next time teach the vegan some palaeoanthropology. Once there was a weedy little ape called Australopithecus with a tiny brain who ran around on two legs but ate nearly all vegies (boring!). Then a few things happened - he evolved and his teeth became better designed for ripping and biting so he tried some animal protein (easier to digest) and his brain grew. He was smarter (no longer pissy pithecus) so he started pointing sticks as hunting tools, then chipping stones and his brain grew even more. He (and she) invented cooking, making meat even easier to digest - then farming which included not only the grains and vegies beloved of vegans, but also breeding of long-haired sheep that he (now **** sapiens) made clothes from, and cattle and goats that gave him skins, milk and cheese protein on the run (no more hunter-gathering), then smelting of metals to hunt better and slew other objectionable sapiens. And permanent homes. Now he could stay in one place and build cities, develop science and technology and become CIVILIZED. No doubt if we all became vegans we could engineer reverse-evolution....
