BBC News - Lab-grown meat and insects 'good for planet and health'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-61182294


Whilst I get the environmental impact of changing from animal to lab grown meats, knowing how much rubbish* is added by the food industry to processed foods, could we trust them to supply lab grown meat without it being adulterated ?


* preservatives, hidden fats and sugars, colouring and flavouring

Of course I would. I doubt a new firm with an avowedly save the planet ethos would dodgeify their new products. I?d trust UK and European versions of such meat more than US or Asian ones simply because on the whole we have more stringent rules. I?m not a believer in making monsters out of new technology providers but I?m still cautious. I heard a vegan man who?d not had meat since 1971 day he?d eat this type of meat as it?s not causing harm to animals nor emitting lots of methane or carbon and not acting as a hothouse for future animal-to-human pathogens.

    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas! 
    • That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.    
    • Actually, if it was factory fitted then it's location would be documented. It's the fact that it can be fitted in different places which means that it's difficult for thieves to locate.
