Second, because being first on my own video felt weird
Honorable
Embrace the weird, my friend. It makes us interesting.
No soylent green?
Ugh... I long for a universe where people stop commenting where they are in the stack of comments. Noone cares. It's dumb. Someone please transfer me to that universe where there are much more interesting people.
😂
Everything will be dinosaur shaped. Absolutely everything.
Admittedly, I was only taking the composition of food into account rather than the shape. I do not dispute the possibility that all food will be dino shaped in the future.
I mean they are the best chicky nugs

10:10 - Chapter 3 - Insects
12:30 - Chapter 4 - Genetically modified food
I prefer lab grown meat over insect’s.
I agree
Both sound horrible.
Me too. I've got no problem with lab meat, but I can't get my head around eating insects.
I'm afraid I'm very finicky. I'd rather eat beans and lentils than anything I'm not used to.
@@RatKindler I have no problem eating insects if they actually taste good and aren't dehydrated. But, there's no way I would ever eat insects as a replacement for other food, only as an interesting addition for extra variety.
😆 i got a tooth pulled today and as soon as Simon said eat food, i looked down at the chicken rice soup I'm eating and thought, "yeah."
You had me at Bacon 🥓😋. I'll try it.
I appreciate that you recognize the reality that humanity is not going to give up eating meat. That being said, I think there will be a lot of holdouts for real meat - I being one of them.
I’m a big fan of seaweed and think seaweed farming is a great idea.
And while we are exceedingly rare, some of us are allergic to legumes. My allergy gets worse the older I get, and I very much miss chili with beans, Chinese food, etc. Forgoing meat is very difficult, if not impossible for me. Plus meat is delicious.
I'm torn. I won't judge until I get try lab grown meat.
Unfortunately if the lab grown stuff gets too efficient we might not have a choice. When real meat becomes a luxury we might not be able to afford it.
@@nobodyfamousXThat’s a good point. If the economics shift towards lab grown meat, the majority of people will take that option.
Wait... what vegetables aren't we supposed to eat every day?
I didn't even know that was a thing either 😅
Spinach is one. I love the stuff and I'd eat it every day, but it's high in oxalate, which in too large an amount leads to...kidney stones. >.<
ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
To be fair... it only takes 6 weeks for chickens to go from chick to harvest ready. I live in east texas where there are 10s of thousands of chicken houses sponsored by Pilgrim Farm and Tyson.
These farms have huge silos of chicken feed brought in from whatever company sponsors them. The actual farmers arent allowed to know what is in the this feed. Its delivered by 18 wheelers in huge tanks...similar to fuel trucks. A representative from each company accompanies the trucks to every farm.
At the farms windows are backed out and the lights are on only 1 hour every 12 hours. If you know anything about birds, most sleep when in darkness. These chickens eat and then sleep approximately 22 hours a day. That and whatever in that feed it causes them to grow unnaturally big and too fast. So much so that their muscles cant "keep up". Most can hardly stand for 5 minutes. They definitely cant run.
My mom was a nurse supervisor for the Carthage, tx Tyson in the early 2000s for 3 years. She never ate chicken again after working there. She said she saw "too much" even as nurse.
Be careful of the influx of the illegals, they aren't as hygienic as the usual ones
To be fair... you said a lot after the sentence where you said "to be fair". Like to be actually fair chickens raised for harvest are treated badly.
Several years ago there was a study in the UK that showed cultivated chicken actually tasted better than organic due to it being ready for...erm, processing sooner. Doesn't excuse the conditions of said cultivation, but it means it depends what you are after for the chicken - the quality of its life or the quality of its meat.
The idea that there's an ick factor associated with cultivated meat is weird when one compares it to slicing up and consuming parts of a corpse that was once grazing in a field. Strange how our minds work. I'm veggie, and I know some veggies and vegans have sworn off eating cultivated meat, but I think I'll be fine with it, as long as it can be produced with fair less environmental impact than traditional livestock farming.
some good spices and some sauce and I doubt I will care if it is lab grown, especially if we can make it cheaper.
I wish I could still eat Food! Unfortunately due to major medical issues I can only drink a formula water mix... I MISS FOOD!
I remember how frustrated I was when I first heard of "GMO-Free" because ALL of the older members of my family had no idea what GMOs are and just assumed they were bad because people were showboating how "GMO-FREE" their food was.
🙃G'day Simon & Kevin,
If the Australian Goverment ever bans Meat Farming I'll still have plenty of Kangaroo & Camel meat available as they are not farmed, they are Wild Population Controlled every year.
Why the hell would the Australian Government ban one of the nation's biggest, most important industries!?
@@MatthewTheWanderer 🤨I guess you've never heard of Hypotheticals "involving or being based on a suggested idea or theory"
@@shaneeslick Of course I have, but usually, hypotheticals should at least be plausible, lol. That's why I asked! It's not like Simon suggested such a thing in the video.
@@MatthewTheWanderer I didn't say anyone here did suggest it,
but there have been sugestions in Media all around the world that "Farming Animals for meat is bad for the environment & therefore should be banned" getting humans converting to eating the types of food sugested here.
So I proposed a Hypothetical that "If the Australian Goverment ever bans Meat Farming" that for Australians we still have plenty of actual meat available rather than needing to turn to eating insects or Growing Meat in a Lab.
@@shaneeslick Okay, fine, but it's highly unlikely to ever happen.
Italian guy here. I've eaten fried cricket legs once, and they were quite good.
I gotta say I'm really enjoying the green screen on this one lol floating peanuts and plants swaying in the "breeze"
I laugh at the idea of an "ick" factor for cultivated meat, as if you think about it, we are essentially saying there that eating the hacked up dead body of an animal is less "icky" than eating some protein grown by scientists! I am a committed meat eater by the way so don't get me wrong here, just love how human brains process things sometimes!
I process my own deer. Definitely trust that meat more than lab grown meat.
@@Iamthestig42069 Don't have to clean a digestive system from lab-grown meat, though. That trust is from your familiarity, nothing more.
Cultivated meat wont have any antibiotics either which can be another point to them being better then conventionally farmed meats.
Aspen Cho rocks. LOVE the graphics, visuals and editing of this show!
And of course always fascinating topics, I am sharing this one to my socials, because my friends need to relax about animal and insect protein already. [I cannot tlerate most animal flesh, but I cannot survive Vegan, so I do already have insect protein to help me you know, LIVE. Eggs alone wont keep me living, and Cheese helps, but adding insects via the 'flours' I've found and even pre-cooked insects has been life changing, and life saving!
I'm probably more squeamish than most and I have absolutely no "ick" problems with lab grown meat. I would prefer it. No killing of animals. Produced in a clean and controlled environment. Consistent quality and taste. No salmonella, mad cow, etc. outbreaks. It's a win win situation.
Re 3D printed food: A few years ago, a TV programme showed a modified 3D printer that created printed egg free pasta.
Liver & onions is the greatest meal ever
I watched a documentary maybe around 40 years ago on the culinary use of insects. I had no easy means to check the veracity but they claimed one cultural group at the time cooked chopped bees in stir fry, that termites could be mixed in with rice, and that canned grasshopper meat was already available.
*If* its not all made from the same "goo" pressed into different shapes, textures & flavors,
but really reconstructed "matter", doing the same as the original food to our Bodies,
then sure i wouldnt mind have my food printed at a push of a button!
I've eaten insects and snakes in my youth so don't mind eating them when nicely cooked. I have absolutely no issues with lab grown meat if it tastes good, I don't eat meat for religious reasons, I eat it because I like its taste and texture, not because it was once alive.
Eating more beans would just increase human methane production.
I find coke and pepsi have very different flavours, I could always beat those taste test challenges when I was a kid. Coke is the best!
Coke tastes like death. Pepsi tastes like life.
I've always been able to tell the difference as well and prefer Coke, but not enough to make a big deal about it. I've only met one person who ever actually said "no" at a restaurant when they were asked if Pepsi was okay.
The taste tests weren't about whether you could tell them apart, most people can. It was about which tasted better to you. And Pepsi almost always won, due to the fact that it is sweeter, and people were given just a taste, less than a shot glass full. When given a tiny sip, something sweeter is going to taste better than something more bitter. However, even people who picked Pepsi might prefer a full can of Coke, because a sip of sweetness is very different from drinking a lot of it.
I like both. I grew up drinking mostly Pepsi products, and Mt Dew is ambrosia. But I can certainly see why people might find a full can or bottle of Pepsi too sweet and cloying.
@@QBCPerdition
I’ll stick with birch beer.
Coke is vile. The only way Coke could ever be better than Pepsi would be if they were to start putting Cocaine in it again.
I love how Italy has banned all these "Manufactured" foods
I fancy liver and onions now
Most of human early history was eating plants and insects. The regular eating of meat is pretty new.
Great vid guys ty.
Thank you!

If it's not to much trouble, can we have a Dr. Pepper meat lab, please?
LOL yeah, and for me, I am allergic to the entire Legume food group. I would love to eat hummus again.
I'd have to be at severe levels of hungry to consider eating an insect...
I do not know if I could wait 39 hours for my double burger to be finished printing
Mouse said it in the first Matrix movie......"Maybe, that's why everything in the future tastes like Chicken!?!" Hahahahaha!! XD
Pepsi doesn't taste like cola anymore just corn syrup
what abt printing food? will tht be possible in the future?
You would have to have a food base you can print the food item with.
Wouldn't this be similar to the liquids the astronauts use?
I can't help but wonder what the AI prompt was for Simon's background during the lab grown meat bit.
Curious about byproduct and waste required for lab meat. There will be negatives and isn't all sunshine and rainbows. What are the concerns.
Metabolites?
4:10 wow. If we had hydroponics for every crop we used, we could cut that down to 7%(!).
Of course, that’s a little challenging with orchards and field crops.
I saw a neat video where they had floating bases in something similar to a pool where the crop moved from one end to the other as it grew and when it hit the other end it was time to harvest.
Kind of like a moving field.
One had vine plants where the bones were pulled toward the ceiling as the ripe plants were harvested.
Imagine having the ability to do this in a 4, 5, or 6 story building. You could grow seasonal crops year round.
What about the fungi centric effort?
30 years from now, we'll be growing the exact same things that we are now. What we can grow isn't affected by climate change. Where we can grow these things is what is going to change. Change being the key word. Nothing is ending, jyst changing.
I doubt “exact same”, but you’re probably correct about changing agricultural locations.
However, food interests, and therefore supply and demand, will change with changing views, especially with increasing desire for sustainability and environmental awareness.
"Were just a bit shit at distributing it..."😅 we also are a bit crappy at wasting it as well.
I remember seeing news programs about how food was purposefully being dumped on the ground to rot in order to keep the prices up.
Two things I will never eat Bugs and Lab Grown Meat, I will die on that hill
Why are you telling us this?
@@eadweard.
Cause I wanted to lol, would you eat bugs 🤔
@@justins7154 I don't think the success or failure of these things depends on what you and I would do.
@@eadweard. I was only stating my opinion, whether they become successful or not only time will tell
Liver and onions…. Food of the gods!
I'm more interested in decentralized methods. I'll probably still go with local grown meat until cultivation can be done in a small business type scale 😊
Could decommissioned open-pit mines be modified to serve as aquaponic farms (growing both plants and fish at the same time)?
Depends on the mine and how the aquaponic farms are run. Pulling ground water anywhere nearby those old mines would be unadvisable, as metals and other pollutants could've leeched into water, which could be absorbed into the plants and ultimately into the food derived from them.
I actually eat liver and onions quite often, sans the grog lol
Bold of you to assume we'll be able to afford to eat in 2050!
feel bad for kids who cant eat peanut butter and maple syrup bacon
Dam another thing we can blame the dam crown for!
The main thing the crown did was wipe out local food when they invaded so that way when they only let people eat wheat an cheese and milk is amazing for making it so poor people can’t just have their own food.
I'm so happy I'm an old fart. I'll be dead before "Chunks" brand food becomes an actual thing. :D
I wouldn’t mind munching on some yummy crickets.
Rice crops have increased 6 out of the last 7 years.
Edible water….hmmm maybe we could add flavor too and some vitamins……then I bet we could get them to grow on trees and produce seeds to grow more again…..hmmmm innovative indeed
We bought some chicken at the supermarket in Australia that said "this is a manufactured product". It was the worst chicken I've ever tasted.
That’s a little broad. Also was it spiced at all?
@@BrowncoatGofAZ it was marketed as chicken schnitzel, not particularly spiced. please don't make me think about it ...
Hell f@$& yeah imma bout to print me some steaks!
Crickets and mealworms versus steak hmm 🤔
Lab grown meat, insects for protein, even printed food isn't what bothers me about possible future foods and their sources... it will be when we get to the point of "closed system/loop" food processing systems for growing, making, or even printing foods. It's mostly just sci-fi at this point but plants that can grow in hydroponic vats with nutrients of concentrated human waste, mushroom based proteins that use biomass of dead human bodies to grow from, or even waste processing that is so good at breaking down and reconstituting all organic waste into base components that is all the system needs to make your next meal; your waste and nothing new has really gone into or out of the system much since it was initially stocked coming into service.
If on the menu, I will order calfs liver and caramelized onions before a burger. Also born in the 70s tho.
I can’t eat liver. It’s a texture thing.
"Edible" in your thumbnail is a redundant adjective. What would be an example of "non-edible" food??
Overpopulation is the cause of nearly all the problems faced today. Also, we have cut down 40% of the earth's forests over the past 100 years with the majority of that happening in the past 50 years. Forests are the natural co2 scrubber and deforestation directly correlates with the global rise in co2. This would not be happening if we had about half the current population and maintained those levels.
Thank the gods for some good news
Lab grown meat, it’s not gross. Well, if you don’t like meat, then it will be gross but if you’d like to meet White, you won’t be able to tell the difference amino acids or amino acids really
GMOs still cause a lot of harm, mostly due to the greedy nature of the companies making them and encouraging monocropping. One good blight could bring an industry to its knees and cause famines. Pests and weeds grow resistant to the already harmful chemicals used to control them. Farmers go broke being sued because someone else's GMOs pollinated their fields. There are real problems that need addressing in the field of GMOs.
Those are problems of capitalism, not GMOs.
@@QBCPerdition Those are going to be everybody's problems regardless.
You realize that the average potato is a “GMO”, right? It’s called “selective breeding”, which we’ve been doing since we first planted seeds in the ground. You think Corn always looked like that?
@@BrowncoatGofAZ Selective breeding is very different from using bacteria to change the DNA of an organism.
@@TrineDaely it’s still a form of coerced evolution. Gene editing is no more “unnatural” than that.
If we start eating seaweed and the seaweed is removing pollutants from the ocean, then… guess where the pollutants are going?
Well, we already eat plants. Doesn’t mean we get CO2 poisoning from doing so.
13:13 GMO’s are not widely accepted though. It’s illegal to grow them in Italy and it’s a felony to grow them in Russia. Many other countries have followed a same line. The food itself may be “safe” the issue is the amount of chemicals that are sprayed or added to the food is terrible for you. Get folic acid out of your diet too
What's added to these foods that isn't added to traditional food?
The whole GMO harm thing was so overblown. But fear of something new is powerful and hard to overcome
there is a HUGE difference between eating nature created foods and eating human modified foods.
selective breeding nature is one thing ......
adding chemicals to repel insects is a totally different issue.
@@peacewillow .....you realise the chemicals are what is needed to protect non-modified foods, right? Because the plant hasn't been modified to repel the pests itself. "you are what you eat" was also not meant to be taken literally, modified foods are not capable of changing your DNA (assuming they were not grown at Chernobyl). Nature is full of examples of inefficiencies existing just because it wasn't causing a significant disadvantage in their niche.
My only problem with the GMO thing is that the companies make it so farmers have to use their seed as well as not being allowed to reuse it not all companies do this I hope but some of the bigger agriculture ones do that provide the GMO seeds cause it has been proven that its safe to eat them but the guys making them and pushing farmers more into debt than they need to be which I'm not for
I agree with every point on this video, exept for the insects. The insects are a bad idea because in order for them to be safe to consume you would have to feed them with human graded food wich simply defeats the point of growing them in the first place.
We all know the future of food is Soilent Green lol
I´m not really appalled by the thought of eating insects and lab-grown meat. From a health perspective it can´t get much worse than current farmed meat being raised on farms where they have literally no space to move, eating pesticide-laden soy and corn, pumped full of steroids and antibiotics, and then slaughtered at an industrial scale. Can´t wait for my first taste of cricketburger.
And anyone who´s ever had a wakame salad can tell you that seaweed tastes amazing.
I think green meat is a great idea
Also in food chickens they are ready from egg to slaughter in six weeks
So as far as the argument against eating meat due to the xx billion animals it killed every year. Take a moment to consider all of the animals that farming kills off. You take away living habitats which kills off animals, you have to clear the moles, voles, shrews and other burrowing animals out of the fields and keep them out, killing off large portions of them in the process, there are all of the bugs that are killed every year due to farming practices. And this is just one of the many issues that are never talked about. One idea isn't necessarily better than the other but let's atleast be honest about the death toll of each...
Hell no, no insects!😂😂😂😂😂
Global population is plateauing currently.
Who wrote this scrpit? The WEF?
I like the way you think but cocaine is worth more than gold per lb. Just saying Pablo Eastside could be your evil twin. 😂
Those grass fed ........3d printed steak, ups.....is good for you???? Any studies on that for the long run? 1? :))......
"people don't care if they drink Coke or Pepsi?" I won't drink Coke or eat insects, PERIOD!
12:15 unless the westerners are Mexican
💚🤍❤ we love crickets, ants, and other insect delicacies 🤤😋😉
Copse starch is the food of the future
Seaweed is delicious
The only insect I'm willing to eat is matarakan 🤣 (sorry)
In 50yrs Veggie-People won't have any bones and will move around like some sorta distressed Mollusk. 🤣
Also if on grown mean is just muscle then why can’t we grow muscle for people in medical field? Also how much electricity does these labs use to grow “meat” I love how we humans are like we have the answer for this and this but lack electricity to make it happen normal farms don’t “need” electricity they have only made farms that do to try and grow food at such a cheap rate it’s not even good for us. Lowering the standard for food the. Making up food an claiming it’s the same as normal healthy grown food is wild
3:08 is there a list of those plants somewhere please?
Look for a good book of wild edible plants for your area, make sure that it has pictures instead of drawings. I've got a few that cover North America, they tell what part of the plant is edible and even how to prepare it and store it for future purposes.
There's also a few apps that you can take a picture of the plant and it tells you. I've never tried the apps, but a friend of mine says his has paid for itself on what he's saved at the grocery store.
Grow me a Waigu.
mmmh imagine, having a "meats of the world" printer in your kitchen 🤤
Did you misspell “waifu”?
Solar Foods (food from thin air) should have been mentioned here, their technology is tested and they started building their factory in 2021 due to be done in 2024.
This has the scalability potential that humanity would need.
The problem with GMO'S is the fact that no company is bothering to do long term studies on the effects on cells and on diseases like cancer from any pesticides that are absorbed in the plants or soil.
The point of GMOs is that most of them don't need as much in the way of pesticides and fertilizers to grow. Less irrigation, too. That said, pretty much everything we eat has been genetically modified (in a way) by us selecting certain varieties of plants and animals over other less appealing or productive varieties. The original corn plant looks more like wheat than the stuff we eat now.
@@myrlyn1250 WHen they start tinkering with the [;ant genetics for pesticide resistance and features like that is where the problems start. They are releasing their seeds without doing proper testing for any long term health effects. Tradional gno's like brrreding for more seeds or hardier stocks has been done for thousands of years and is perfectly fine. This genetic manipultion is very dangerous without proper testing. EU already bands medern American gmo's due to the lack of health studies.
All that said…. Give Simon a coke and a steak 😅
*some coke
So what do we do with a mass population of cows etc?
Mass harvesting for one big harvest I guess. That or they’re harvested for feedstock.
Food for 2050 with a population of 9.4 billion. Simple. Soylent Green. Apparently the organically grown variety is especially tasty, but not ready to do that taste test. 😉
5:40 "For years, ????? have been warning us..." Wtf is he saying here? Transcript has it as "allets", but googling that brings up "알렛츠". 🤷
I don’t even remember subscribing to this Simon channel 🥲😂
i want lab grown meat.
meat with no guilt! lol
Pepsi and Coke most definitely do taste different. Pepsi has a much more chemical flavor to it than Coke.
Coke tastes like death. Pepsi tastes like life. Its definitely the opposite.
@@pdxmusl1510 Let's agree to disagree on which tastes better since taste is quite obviously subjective. However I believe we can agree that Coke and Pepsi most certainly do not taste the same. They might both be a "cola" but both have a unique flavor.
I know. I said most people can taste a difference. But if someone orders a Coke at a restaurant and is asked "If Pepsi is okay?", very few people would actually say no because they're close enough
@@ThatWriterKevin This is true since they are both a cola as i mentioned. I do however find the overall topic of the video to very interesting myself and you did an excellent job with the script. That combined with Simon's awesome ability to make a quality video always makes for a great video to watch or listen to. I have actually tried crickets in the past and even with flavor powder over the top you can still taste the crickets a bit.
@@nicholascook9584 Thinking about the eating bugs is certainly interesting here in Southern U.S. You have plenty of the "We won't eat the bugs!" crowd, due to ideology, but they'll happily fill plates with crawfish and shrimp. What do they think those are.....(personally, shrimp is likely the only "bug" would eat, since the way to prepare it involves removing head/legs/shell and especially when battered it ends up nearly unrecognisable)
I'm so excited for cultivated meat, it's kind of embarrassing.
