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.

    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
    • Is it lame? Or is it Lamey? (sorry)
