tsuchan1 nothing wrong with eating bugs actually. I take it you've not had any before. I love them deep fried crickets and silkworm eggs. A 200grms serving during lunch and I don't feel hungry till late evening
Having meat without killing any animals sounds pleasant but there's benefits to doing the same with vegetables. Imagine not needing the land used for farming & returning that to nature and replacing our lost forests. However humans are too stupid to do this and they wouldn't allow forests to grow. Instead they would build housing on the former farm land. The sensible halfway approach would be to allow some extra housing on formally farmed hills & some of that land devoted to nature and all land on floodplains to become woodlands & mashes which would reduce the severity of future flooding.
I'm no vegetarian or vegan but the arguments to move to synthetic food sources are as relevant as the need to shift to renewable energy. Ironically the former influences the latter. It won't even become a preference thing in the long run - it'll be a necessity.
In theory, it should be much cheaper. A small, fully automated factory would be able to produce the same as hundreds of acres of land, so running costs would be dramatically reduced. Thanks for watching! Dom
The real question we have to ask is "how do animals convert grain and water into meat, eggs, and milk?" if we can do whatever animals are doing internally, we could potentially replicate the process, and skip the animal. This is likely more-easily done with things like eggs and milk than meat obviously... but the point is the same.
If they can get the feel and taste and nutrition right, I think I would prefer synthetic food. Once the process is upscaled, it might be more efficient than farming. Therefore, cheaper? It should be.
I would be okay with lab grown food, i believe permaculture can offer a more regenerative and ecological food production than conventional agriculture.
Soylent green? Really? ;p in any event, it's an interesting question. We do have a few more pressing concerns though. Such as why, exactly, anything up to 60% of all food is completely wasted often for inane reasons such as 'it doesn't look right'. Forked carrots? Bin! Straight bananas? Bin! Overly bendy bananas? BIN!! But seriously, how can we be so vain and waste SO much food. There are STILL people starving even now, and estimates of how much food is actually produced put it at a quantity sufficient to feed 12 billion. Food for 12 billion and we can't even properly feed 7.5 billion with it! Clearly the core problem is not food production itself, but something that happens afterwards, somewhere along the line...
Hello all! Just wanted to say that Dom (the host) has his own RUclips channel! It’s incredible and deserves some more subscribers. Here is the link: ruclips.net/channel/UCGI000V6ZIAQf97MNybAaLQ
My answer at this point is "maybe", but it's going to have to become competitive first, and it simply isn't yet. My concern is that it might try to do that via legislation to increase the cost of ranching, rather than by improving it's own methods until it can undercut the current costs of ranched produce. I hope they don't, but environmentally geared products have a long and sad history of doing exactly that. My advice is, you've possibly got something here, don't blow it by trying to box me into your product. If you tick me off, you'll be surprised how much more I'll pay just to avoid you.
Malandirix Not particularly. It's one thing to treat our food sources as humanely as possible, but this idea that we shouldn't use animals as food originates from a worldview that elevates animals above the level of humans. That viewpoint is ripe for abuse, only needing a small push to produce the same sort of atrocities that resulted from slavery or even Nazism. I consider it a dormant evil, that sometimes wakes up in organizations like Planned Parenthood (which if you've been following the story at all is clearly treating mothers as breeding stock for organ harvesting operations).
The issue isn't energy density but the ability for the human body to break it down into useful stuff. Otherwise eating lead would be really space efficient.
Kreska0 In this case, I think it's based on the amount of farmable land needed to raise and grow meat and veg. There is plenty of unused land, but land that is actually farmable is becoming more scarce. Thanks for watching! Dom
are scientist making synthetic foods that give people more oxygen, better strength, alertness and increase metabolism? what could be the long term effects of such a thing?
Well if it looks the same, has the same texture and tastes the same sure I'd eat lab grown meat. And replicators - we're getting closer and closer. But I tell people all the time we'll get replicators the same time we get teleportation.
EVERYTHING DOESN'T NEED A SHORTCUT AND TIME-SAVING.....specially when it comes to what's going to reside in our tummies for a while??? These upcoming technology based-products involve mechanical approach & do not even contain the nutrition you eat for. Even if they start the production holding the nutritious values, processing and additives to the the animal stem cells to finally taste like the real steaks and meat, will be like eating a dead organism's meat whos genetic make up was still underdeveloped.... please search for the concept of stem cells , they are good for treatment of various diseases like Arthritis and cancers....and are still under research even to be used for cure... and here they want you to eat them just for their PROFITS....and most of all , there will be more Cancers and mysterious diseases in future generations.
Sachin BI you must be a progresive leftist. Your kind cry against ideologies that aimed to control the population. Although they welcome the notion. Disgusting
Most of the worlds food is wasted, more people have been dying of obesity than starvation for years. There's plenty of food for a much greater population than we have now without increasing production.
The problem is not so much how to produce the food, but to choose it. If people would choose less meat then we would not need to spend so much veggie-food in raising animals with only one purpose: to slaughter them. I cannot imagine why people would find a synthetically grown steak disgusting - the horror that comes inbuilt to a present days steak is far more brutal and disgusting.
Cultured meat is nowhere near a feasible reality. Sorry BBC Earth Lab but you have no idea what you're talking about. from 4:20 on wards you just embarrass yourself. GMO crops and eating more insects is the only currently viable option moving forward.
I'd rather eat synthesised burgers than bugs, any day. (^_^)/
tsuchan1 nothing wrong with eating bugs actually. I take it you've not had any before. I love them deep fried crickets and silkworm eggs. A 200grms serving during lunch and I don't feel hungry till late evening
Yes, nothing wrong at all with eating bugs. Just a personal preference. I'm happy with the burger and leaving the bugs for you. :-)
Tea, earl grey, hot.
Marcelo Carvalho Exactly! Banana, large, ripe. ;)
If it tastes great and healthy. Give it here

Chriswsm Completely agree. Thanks for watching! Dom

The production value of your videos nowadays is incredibly. You deserve way more views!
MetricZero Thank you so much! I agree! :) Dom

I'm really disappointed hearing there won't be any Star Trek replicators in our future.
same
Your videos are getting amazing
..
Just for fun Thankyou! :) Dom
Yes, I would eat the lab grown meat ,if it is safe.
Love the expressions and every bit of the narration & acting. Hope to see you in future videos as well. Awesome video. 😀
Uttam Malviya thankyou! Really glad you enjoyed! :) Dom
I do think food made in Lab could be a good idea. For instance, vegetables would not need pesticides and therefore, we would eat more healthy
Great video!
Thank you! :) Dom
If it approximates the taste and price? Absolutely.
In theory, it should be much cheaper. A small, fully automated factory would be able to produce the same as hundreds of acres of land, so running costs would be dramatically reduced. Thanks for watching! Dom

Anyone else read the title and throw up a little in their mouth?
Um, you made he Soylent Green reference. Did you see the film? Soylent Green is People!
Ha, yes, they were all references to films - Star Trek, Soylent Green and The Matrix. Thanks for watching! Dom
No, no. You missed the point. Soylent Green was MADE from people. That's just gross.
David ha ha, yes, I know!
There is actually a soylent company selling food today
OMG that's awesome. Is it made of people?
So this is where my BBC TV LICENSE money is going???
Did he just say meat and two veg?!
I did indeed. :) Dom
Love the Wayne’s world reference 😆
clxwncrxwn Ha ha! Thanks, glad it didn't go unappreciated! :) Dom
The Matrix reference didn't go unnoticed either! Mmmm bowl of snot..
What? Where?
'But why does it all taste like chicken?!' Thanks for watching! Dom

Fully synthethic food 10w 40 in oil form...
This isn't the first video where this guy goes "The idea isn't new".
I read somewhere that the first synthetic burger ever eaten cost, after several years of research, over £100,000..
We already synthesize our food, it’s just called farming.
The vegans are rejoicing.
If they can get the feel and taste and nutrition right, I think I would prefer synthetic food. Once the process is upscaled, it might be more efficient than farming. Therefore, cheaper? It should be.
The host never explained why the food pill is not possible.
You opened the banana the wrong way 😉
Adam Uk It's all a matter of perspective! :) Dom
I already have Soylent for 2 out of 3 meals a day.
now i know how dead space apocalypse started
SCP Protein synthesis is good than capsule
Heh love the matrix reference.
Yes! :) Dom
Tasty wheat
this video was mostly a waste of time
Law #1 , "You eat or you are meat",
Nuff sed!
Nice video

Black Mirror covers this well
I know it's been 2 years, but can you tell me which episode I should look for?
11 Billion people. Everything that helps.
As long as it isn't green wafers made by the Soylent Corporation.
Please don't ever say slurp again
Admiral Percy My sincerest apologies!
Turn people into food and energy.
Soylent green? Really? ;p
in any event, it's an interesting question.

Benjamin Nelson Surely it's worth it to avoid having to kill animals?

Yes
New possibility from 2021: synthesized starch from CO2 in lab.
I don't even wear synthetic clothing
This is absolutely disgusting. What about the energy, the micronutrients, the ecosystem influence?
What's been done in compacting material higher in calories than fat?
The issue isn't energy density but the ability for the human body to break it down into useful stuff. Otherwise eating lead would be really space efficient.
"More of us means more mouths to feed" Us who? Africans or Asians? You cant mean Europeans
I really hate when someone is saying that we are running out of space on our planet ... 😐 Who started that myth ??

Soylent Green is People!!!
Less space to grow our meat and 2 veg... 😂😂
probably every thing will besynthesise in 2100
Sure, we invented new food, let's use it for war!
are scientist making synthetic foods that give people more oxygen, better strength, alertness and increase metabolism? what could be the long term effects of such a thing?

Elon musk should adapted this type of technology
The sooner the better.
Soylent green is the future...
So cute
I would totaly eat synthetic food but in the eu its vorbidden
Hope they start growing meat in labs, as I could never go vegetarian and vegan would never happen.
Fire your butler, the condition of that chafing dish is disgraceful

Hi
now !!! man maid sorry made o forgive me mad
Basically the same as growing Animals, DUMB idea.
3021: pathetic
Dr Sebi
Best solution control human population
Sachin BI Exactly. We should abort some that are already alive
Just look at a "Hans Rosling world population" video
Sachin BI you must be a progresive leftist. Your kind cry against ideologies that aimed to control the population. Although they welcome the notion. Disgusting
Most of the worlds food is wasted, more people have been dying of obesity than starvation for years. There's plenty of food for a much greater population than we have now without increasing production.
What about this was population control? This is just a ways to find new ways of feeding our overgrowing population
Looks like meat… tastes like meat…. Not meat at all 🥄🤪🥩

i rather eat real stak no thank u
