Gotta love these comments about "lAb GRowN mEaT hAs CaNceR" y'all should see what chickens looked like in the 50's and before. All farm animals have been mutated to be bigger and provide more meat.
Cultured meat can be a colossal opportunity for our planet! A study found that cell-based beef is projected to use 95% fewer global greenhouse gas emissions, 98% less land use and up to half as much energy. It also significantly reduces the amount of antibiotics needed, which are widely used in agriculture and contribute hugely to worsening antibiotic resistance. And since the animal cells are grown in a facility rather than within the animals themselves, cell-based meat has the potential to eliminate animal suffering too.
@@terramater What are you on about? The farming of animals is one of the reasons why there are less zoonotic events. You only have to look at where bush meat is consumed or wet markets are used to see that. Stop making things up to suit your distorted view of reality!
@@GavinLawrence747 you completely misread the premise and extrapolated in the wrong direction. The reason bush meat and wet markets are more likely to cause new pandemics is because they are dirty, and uncontrolled environments. Farms are better in that we have more control over the environment and cleanness. Lab meat continues that trend of having even more control over the very mechanisms to produce meat. You don't need to worry about mad cow, E.coli contamination, salmonella, and countless other animal diseases when there is no animal to infect. You have lab level controls over the entire production chain.

Its actually better if its driven by money rather than kindness. We humans have a tiringly long track record of prioritizing the former over the latter.
So was solar power and everything else with a startup. Just look at indoor farms and where they're at right now, compared to where they was in the beginning. And there's still a heck of a lot of room for improvement. But if you can cut down all farms that are used solely for feeding animals that are solely used for meat, that both uses up such incredibly much land - and even more every year, and throw it all into large automatic highly efficient meat lab-factories 20-30 years from now? Why not?
I am all for lab grown meat but your stupid statement "Cure World Hunger and Poverty" doesn't even make any sense. Do you even know how economics works? Go back to school.
Should do a blind test whereby participants are given two samples but not told which sample is cultured and get their honest opinion after eating them.
That doesn't work at the moment because lab grown meat still has some way to go but i'm pretty sure people will think lab grown meat tastes more like meat than actual meat from animals some time in the future.
It will be better than normal meat, eventually. Because with this tech, in time, we will be able to control much tightly several factors that creates the taste and texture. Imagine being able to create a steak with perfect marbling score.
Imagine brewing your own from the cells of the meat with no possibility of a super virus and maximizes in quality (no steroids or anything else), quantity and taste!!

Biologically, I need iron and plant based has not worked, though I’ve tried veganism for years because of the animal cruelty and climate issues. I will support lab grown meat whole heartedly!!!
Plenty of iron in plants, and plant based is working just fine. End even if you excuse is heme iron, they modified soy to produce heme iron. Thats whats used in impossible burgers. So there are way more efficient ways to produce heme iron, but there is no point to it. As heme iron is not really healthy for humans, as we cant regulate its uptake so it messes up the body's equilibrium.
You simply cant beat plants in efficiency. Plants can photosynthesize, animals cant. Animals will always need plant derived nutrients to grow, so you are again turning plants into meat. Its a lossy process.

People commenting on eating human cells and other stupid ideas simply shows that some meat eaters will come up with any justification for their unethical diet and have lost any arguments for doing so.
Elaborate on how growing your own cells for your own consumption is unethical. Isn't the point of veganism to minimize suffering on sentient beings? How is eating my own mindless flesh unethical? Or is it that your starting point is "eating flesh is bad regardless of whether it is lab-grown or natural"?
@@jeromeorji1057 this is completely not what I meant. I had a sense that people who write comments here saying "tHIs mEaNS wE WiLl EAt ouRSelVes, LegAL CaNNibalISM" not only are probably mistaken about the direction lab-grown meat will take in the future, but also about its ethics ( my feeling is that saying such weird stuff is a way of saying lab-grown meat is bad and creepy). Usually it is some meat eater who will say anything to criticize alternatives to animal agriculture. Thus, I never claimed that lab-grown meat is unethical - meat as a product of unnecessary slaughter is. Lab-grown meat is the future and a perfect solution, however I don't see why would human cell-based meat be better, cheaper or more accessible than of other animals.
If the taste and texture are acceptable, I will switch to synthetic meat for all but special occasions. Beyond the environmental impact, I don't support the cruelty of industrial meat production.
Shower thought: The types of animals we eat is based on taste, and if we can tame to stay on a farm. With cultured meats this will open up opportunities to eat wild-animals meat without killing them that includes, tiger, elephants, and etc.
Please let's make this more important than anything else. We need to stop the endless and brutal suffering of those animals. Whether chicken, pig, insects or human, EVERY living creature that breathe in oxygen feels the pain like you and I would. We need to stop the suffering.
@@GavinLawrence747 Not relevant. For meat and dairy production are enormous amounts of plants required. If you want to keep ‘plant suffering’ to a minimum, going vegan is the best choice.
@@Simon-dm8zv Jordan stated that "EVERY living creature that breathe oxygen" You purposefully didn't address my point. What if those plants feel pain just like animals do, but the science isn't there yet to hear/detect their suffering?
This is exciting and incredible. It will be the necessary next step to get the majority of people away from the disaster and nightmare of animal agriculture.
This is the future. Just like we would be grossed out by someone killing an animal and eating its raw meat, the future civilization wouldn’t stomach nor tolerate someone eating the flesh of another conscious being.
Just think of how much of our land could be restored to a natural state if we remove cattle from it. This will restore our natural grasslands and therefore refill our aquafirs assuring humans will have water. The earth will be able to retain moisture and we will have very few forest fires. The benefits will be enormous!!! I am hopeful that this will be on the market soon.
@@arashahad8733 obesity is from American food, American companies add sugar and beef and pork in their food, East and Western Europe and Japan banned US foods to be sold in their country. Obesity is a diease
If we can supply meat that significantly lowers the resource demands and energy costs of food production then I'm all for it. So much of the meat we consume is already heavily processed into consumer friendly products that switching the supply to vat grown meat would barely be noticeable.
Important for space colonies. Importing meat from earth is not feasible and farming on large scale is gonna be very difficult. Hence this is a partial solution.
As I meat lover if my only 2 choices were plant based proteins or lab grown meat I would definitely choose lab grown. I think more people would be willing to change if this was a readily available option.
The title of this video is very misleading and inaccurate. Just Eat's chicken bites that you focus on are grown in Foetal Bovine Serum which involves the slaughter of pregnant cows. I also interviewed Vitor Santo for my own video on the same topic, and he made it clear that the company chose speeding through the regulatory process over removing FBS from the product sold.
@@frostystallie8736 capitalism isn't found in all of humanity (e.g. Incas, hunter-gatherers). I don't have anything against capitalism, but I'm not buying the story on how this will be healthier for humans or the environment, it's a bullshit story they're selling.
Thanks. Bloomberg quick take videos tend be onesided. I am vegan so i clicked like on this in a hearbeat but really its not great. Not even a hint of critique is annoying. For that matter it appears like they talked almost exclusively to one company.
It'll stop it alright since there won't be any farm animals left. What do you think the meat companies will do to their livestock once it isn't profitable anymore.
I love meat. Steaks, bacon, chicken you name it. However once they perfect this I'll happily make the switch. If it looks, tastes and smells the same why not?
One question though, wouldnt everything they grow just basically be akin to a boneless steak (or maybe make ground meat too)? Dont get me wrong, I could definitely see such a thing being useful, especially in say space exploration where food can be grown in a ship/station or colony without the need for space and resouces of a full blown animal
It's very useful here on Earth, to reduce cruelty to animals, the environmental impact of conventional meat production, and the danger of a new pandemic.
I support the “no harm anyone” but I still think that meat is eventually not necessary. We get all we need from plants. Any product that imitates meat (beyond meat, cultured meat etc.) may though be a stepping stone to help change our unhealthy habits we developed after WWII.
At which point is the cultured meat considers alive? Not judging, honest food for thought (pun intended). Also would definitely eat. Meat without murder? Heck yes
I guess technically the cells growing in a culture are just as alive as the whole animal the cells originated from. But then, plants are just as alive as animals, and there seems to be very little ethical concerns over the well-being of a stalk of corn being cut down for food.
It's the same hypocritical stance that these "vegans" take towards the vaccines that they are quite happy to take. Never mind the misery that the vaccine testing inflicts on simians in the process.
@@GavinLawrence747 what does vaccine testing have to do with this topic? Elaborate on the hypocrisy please. I would like to know if I'm a hypocrite or not. Please send me a PM if you have to. Also please do not judge lest thee be judged and if you feel like using invectives against me, refrain from doing so. I'm interested in proper conversation. I might even change my opinion....ignore all this if I misunderstood your comment 😊 peace to you friend.
@@maxclaessens7487 that part of biology does not elude me 😊. I was hinting towards the - when does it change from "harvesting" to "butchering" the meat.
I'd be interested to know how much energy it takes to create lab-grown meat. How does the energy/kg of meat compare to raising a cow on a ranch, for example?
the problem is modern day factory farming not eating meat in general. Cant believe people are sold on the idea of eating thousands of chemicals and gmo foods over naturally raised grass fed animals
This is one of the biggest things I'm hopeful for. I don't think that being vegetarian or vegan is the answer, I believe that human ingenuity is the answer. We are the dominant species on this planet thanks to ingenuity and it is this that will save us from extinction too. I eat meat every single day and when I feel bad when I think about the various animals that had to live a lifetime of captivity to feed me.
@@thetaomega7816 the meat from stem cells might be the same but often, scaffolding, flavor, color, additives are included. When its commercialized the product will only become more diluted. So no its not, "down to the atom the very fucking same thing", but hey, ignorance is bliss.

Whenever I see a field full of cows like that I just think that there has to be a massive cloud of Methane hovering just above their heads. In one, Big-Ol' massive fart cloud.....
Actually most of the methane comes from cows burping / belching and not from farts.
@@JJs_playground either way, it’s all gas in the end! 😆
@@Ashaliyeva lol.. very true just clarifying what end of the cow it's coming from. Because for the longest time I though it was from them farting.
Music to my ears. I'll be first in line to buy it.
Just to stop animal suffering is enough to say YES to this kind of meat. I already LOVE Beyond meat that I buy here in Colombia, S.A.
I’m a vegetarian. When laboratory grown meats arise here in the US, I’m going to be all over it!
Food technology. Reduce suffering. Thanks
Love Singapore! Can't wait to finally go there!
People commenting on eating human cells and other stupid ideas simply shows that some meat eaters will come up with any justification for their unethical diet and have lost any arguments for doing so.
Elaborate on how growing your own cells for your own consumption is unethical. Isn't the point of veganism to minimize suffering on sentient beings? How is eating my own mindless flesh unethical? Or is it that your starting point is "eating flesh is bad regardless of whether it is lab-grown or natural"?
@@jeromeorji1057 this is completely not what I meant.
I had a sense that people who write comments here saying "tHIs mEaNS wE WiLl EAt ouRSelVes, LegAL CaNNibalISM" not only are probably mistaken about the direction lab-grown meat will take in the future, but also about its ethics ( my feeling is that saying such weird stuff is a way of saying lab-grown meat is bad and creepy).
Usually it is some meat eater who will say anything to criticize alternatives to animal agriculture.
Thus, I never claimed that lab-grown meat is unethical - meat as a product of unnecessary slaughter is.
Lab-grown meat is the future and a perfect solution, however I don't see why would human cell-based meat be better, cheaper or more accessible than of other animals.
If the taste and texture are acceptable, I will switch to synthetic meat for all but special occasions. Beyond the environmental impact, I don't support the cruelty of industrial meat production.
Shower thought: The types of animals we eat is based on taste, and if we can tame to stay on a farm. With cultured meats this will open up opportunities to eat wild-animals meat without killing them that includes, tiger, elephants, and etc.
Don't forget your favorite: 🦇
I can't wait for the day when humanity looks back at factory farming and traditional meat consumption in pure disbelief
yeah we look back at the time when we had coal miners, chimney sweeps and shoe shiners. hopefully it'll be the same for animals
Please let's make this more important than anything else. We need to stop the endless and brutal suffering of those animals. Whether chicken, pig, insects or human, EVERY living creature that breathe in oxygen feels the pain like you and I would. We need to stop the suffering.
Exactly sir.
How do you know that plants don't feel pain and suffer when they are harvested? what if it is a language or sound that we cannot currently understand?
@@GavinLawrence747 Not relevant. For meat and dairy production are enormous amounts of plants required. If you want to keep ‘plant suffering’ to a minimum, going vegan is the best choice.
@@Simon-dm8zv Jordan stated that "EVERY living creature that breathe oxygen"
You purposefully didn't address my point.
What if those plants feel pain just like animals do, but the science isn't there yet to hear/detect their suffering?
@@GavinLawrence747 It’s clear that he is referring to creatures that have a central nervous system.
_Like Cyberpunk 2077 I can see a future where the synthetic meat completely replaces cultivated meat. It's up to technology and adoption though_
I love what he said about not knowing where the regular chicken comes from either so why worry where this comes from?
So there will be time where I can eat A5 Wagyu beef on a daily basis?
Nope. It'll be synthetic trash and the finest animal a5 wagyu will still be on the plate at Davos.
You can't because the Japanese government will still control it
This is exciting and incredible. It will be the necessary next step to get the majority of people away from the disaster and nightmare of animal agriculture.
don't call yourself an "animal lover" if you eat meat. but you're an animal saver if you eat this kind of meat
so true
Yes its hypocritical to eat meat but who gives a fuck about food
Can they cultivate cow or goat or sheep mammary cells and lab-produce dairy products too? How about egg proteins and yolks?
Well we'll see on few decades
Come on, ask what you really want to know!
I love this!!! Can’t wait to see this product develop into a more affordable solution.
Bring this to India, it will allow us to eat meat while being vegetarian.
This is the better future, if only SOME meat eaters could just stop being stubborn
This is the future. Just like we would be grossed out by someone killing an animal and eating its raw meat, the future civilization wouldn’t stomach nor tolerate someone eating the flesh of another conscious being.
Just think of how much of our land could be restored to a natural state if we remove cattle from it. This will restore our natural grasslands and therefore refill our aquafirs assuring humans will have water. The earth will be able to retain moisture and we will have very few forest fires. The benefits will be enormous!!! I am hopeful that this will be on the market soon.
lol with those portions, obesity problem in the US will be solved in no time LOL
obesity is not the effect of eating meat but the problem of a unhealthy and materialistic lifestyle...
@@arashahad8733 who said anything about meat, it is the portions thats the issue. Please read before typing
@@sanbetski but still the portions are not the problem...it is the mindset that needs to change, not the portions
@@arashahad8733 obesity is from American food, American companies add sugar and beef and pork in their food, East and Western Europe and Japan banned US foods to be sold in their country.
Obesity is a diease
If we can supply meat that significantly lowers the resource demands and energy costs of food production then I'm all for it. So much of the meat we consume is already heavily processed into consumer friendly products that switching the supply to vat grown meat would barely be noticeable.
Respect to all who involved into this industry 🙏
Important for space colonies. Importing meat from earth is not feasible and farming on large scale is gonna be very difficult. Hence this is a partial solution.
Hindu people can taste beef now?
no, their ego would never let them.
I would think not it still originates from a cow.
If a hindu eats beef, is he/she still a hindu? 🤔 What if it happens once vs eating it regularly?
@@nakshatra1402 there are Hindus eat beef. Many Hindus in Kerala and North Eastern States eat beef..
@@Ergot59 So does milk, and it's a staple for Hindus
Weird question : would these meat cultivating techniques work for vegetables? Could we for example grow corn meal without a field?
It'd likely be possible, but not economical; there isn't nearly as much waste involved with growing real plants as raising animals for slaughter.
@@Zman6258 interesting. Hm maybe in space? One step closer to Star Trek replicators!
That would be a great slogan for a company - “One Step Closer To Star Trek” 😅
As I meat lover if my only 2 choices were plant based proteins or lab grown meat I would definitely choose lab grown. I think more people would be willing to change if this was a readily available option.
What do you have against plant based proteins?
The title of this video is very misleading and inaccurate.
Just Eat's chicken bites that you focus on are grown in Foetal Bovine Serum which involves the slaughter of pregnant cows. I also interviewed Vitor Santo for my own video on the same topic, and he made it clear that the company chose speeding through the regulatory process over removing FBS from the product sold.
"Beyond Meat" is already out there. I like it!
@Keanu Threeves
This wouldn't be synthetic meat. This would be lab-farm vs traditional farm.
@Keanu Threeves it will NOT be synthetic meat. It's cultured meat or cellular agriculture. Biosynthetics
Beyond Meat is plant based, whereas this is an amalgamation of lab-grown cells.
Once you get used to THIS, they'll start advertising the insect based "meat".
Can I get a sample of these products?
This is wonderful ❤️ Let's use technology for our benefit and simultaneously save the planet.
I’m practically a vegetarian now anyway, thank goodness.
Like there aren't vegetables grown without soil
With this tech, where is my fried chicken bone? What should I use to make ramen soup base without bones?
BINGO!...i do not eat boneless chicken, just like I do not seedless oranges
It looks like you could use a little compassion.
Break your own bones and use that? Seems like you have no need for those.
This is about profits NOT about the planet... food quality has declined ever since profits have been involved.
Profit has always been involved
In the world of capitalism, without money, we can hardly do anything.
@@frostystallie8736 capitalism isn't found in all of humanity (e.g. Incas, hunter-gatherers). I don't have anything against capitalism, but I'm not buying the story on how this will be healthier for humans or the environment, it's a bullshit story they're selling.

@@michaelciancetta6397 tell me i'm wrong...
Please guard against the trap of sounding like a cultured meat promotional video as this one appears to be
Thanks. Bloomberg quick take videos tend be onesided. I am vegan so i clicked like on this in a hearbeat but really its not great. Not even a hint of critique is annoying. For that matter it appears like they talked almost exclusively to one company.
I'm a vegan and I personally won't be eating this stuff, but if it stops the exploitation and torture of animals in the ag scene then thumbs up.
It'll stop it alright since there won't be any farm animals left.
What do you think the meat companies will do to their livestock once it isn't profitable anymore.
I love meat. Steaks, bacon, chicken you name it. However once they perfect this I'll happily make the switch. If it looks, tastes and smells the same why not?
That memphis meat guy feels so incredibly insincere.
They can't scale. Anyone can make something in a lab
One question though, wouldnt everything they grow just basically be akin to a boneless steak (or maybe make ground meat too)? Dont get me wrong, I could definitely see such a thing being useful, especially in say space exploration where food can be grown in a ship/station or colony without the need for space and resouces of a full blown animal
It's very useful here on Earth, to reduce cruelty to animals, the environmental impact of conventional meat production, and the danger of a new pandemic.

I am proud to be a vegetarians. I am happy that my eating habits don't harm any animals
Great. I hope you don't consume dairy either?
I appreciate you being vegetarian, means more meat for us humans.
I support the “no harm anyone” but I still think that meat is eventually not necessary. We get all we need from plants. Any product that imitates meat (beyond meat, cultured meat etc.) may though be a stepping stone to help change our unhealthy habits we developed after WWII.
At which point is the cultured meat considers alive? Not judging, honest food for thought (pun intended).
Also would definitely eat. Meat without murder? Heck yes
The cells are alive otherwise they couldn’t grow
I guess technically the cells growing in a culture are just as alive as the whole animal the cells originated from. But then, plants are just as alive as animals, and there seems to be very little ethical concerns over the well-being of a stalk of corn being cut down for food.
It's the same hypocritical stance that these "vegans" take towards the vaccines that they are quite happy to take. Never mind the misery that the vaccine testing inflicts on simians in the process.

I'd be interested to know how much energy it takes to create lab-grown meat. How does the energy/kg of meat compare to raising a cow on a ranch, for example?
Who cares. The fact alone that we would stop cutting the rainforest down for cattle is reason to back this.
Really slick title, Bloomberg.

Just a thought, if meat can be served without harming any creature, how should we feel about consuming cultured human meat?
I thought about that es well
Fake meat, fake people and fake souls
the problem is modern day factory farming not eating meat in general. Cant believe people are sold on the idea of eating thousands of chemicals and gmo foods over naturally raised grass fed animals
I'd be down for lab meat, less chance of diseases coming from it, and you can even just make a huge bit of only the best cut i suppose
Oh, yeah, eating meat artificially grown in a lab is definitely healthier and won't increase the risk of getting who knows what diseases (sarcasm).
I'll just be glad when I don't have my chickens taking a dump all over my drive way...
Nobody: "lab meat is great"
Waiter: "here is your 199$ bill"
This is one of the biggest things I'm hopeful for. I don't think that being vegetarian or vegan is the answer, I believe that human ingenuity is the answer. We are the dominant species on this planet thanks to ingenuity and it is this that will save us from extinction too. I eat meat every single day and when I feel bad when I think about the various animals that had to live a lifetime of captivity to feed me.
That’s a pass for me until it’s been eaten at a large rate for a few decades with no repercussions
what kind of repercussion are you thinking of?
Dude it´s down to the atom the very fucking same thing
@@thetaomega7816 the meat from stem cells might be the same but often, scaffolding, flavor, color, additives are included. When its commercialized the product will only become more diluted. So no its not, "down to the atom the very fucking same thing",

I had a biopsy taken out of my ear this week to check for skin cancer; ?does that mean that they could take that biopsy material and I can end up eating me.
