No to Fake Meat

[Evangelicalhumanist]

I've never tried lab-grown meat, and have no intention of bothering. I love to eat good food, and as a consequence, I've learned to be a very good cook -- and part of that is understanding how the muscles of an animal are used, and what that contributes to taste, texture, cooking requirements and so forth. But I wouldn't have the least idea of how to cope with a blob of protein that's just been lying there in a vat -- not moving the animal around, not developing collagen (like cheeks, tails, leg and rump muscles) that melt into unctuousness.

its funny how leftists act when they dont get their way.

Are you under the impression that Ron DeSantis is a "leftist?"

I can see you are

I can see you are

I'm not sure what it is you think you're seeing.

I'm not the one who posted a video of Ron DeSantis bloviating about banning fake meat (freedom!), with this caption written underneath:
"its funny how leftists act when they dont get their way."

That was you.



This "leftist" over here (me), prefers choice over daddy politician telling me what he thinks is best for me.

Okay, my mistake; cultured lab meat , not plant based meat replacement.
Nevertheless, I don’t think it’s a healthy alternative when it’s produced in a lab and requires various serums, additives, as well as being highly processed. Not to mention the reality that a product like this, if it becomes a wide replaceable for meat, just give corporate entities further monopolized control over the food system.
I get local, regeneratively raised meat from a small farmer; definitely not the same and certainly healthier.

You know nothing about it. How would you know whether it is healthy or not. You are not reacting rationally. Just as you were terribly wrong about plant based meat substitutes. Yes, there is a lot of processing that goes on. What makes you think that natural processing is better? Natural meats are rather high in cholesterol and that is not healthy for you. And I can guarantee you that there are no "fake proteins" in plant based meat substitutes. They have proteins, but they are very real ones.

Plant based meat substitutes can be a healthy transition food for those that want to change to vegetarian diet. I would not recommend them for every meal, but then I do not eat hamburgers for every meal either.

@DeSantis ~ Your ignorance is showing.

You are being redundant. Trump junior is synonymous with "ignorant".

I dont care about desantis. I care about leftists constantly trying to shove nonsense down people throats. Lab made meat is the next iteration of leftist totalitarianism.

You're going to need to explain yourself better then.

You've lamented about "leftist totalitarianism" and then you posted an example of right wing totalitarianism.

No one is forcing you to eat it. DeSantis is the one guilty of your "crime". He won't let people that want to eat lab grown meat that right.

That you cannot see that the situation is 100% reversed is very surprising to me.

Desantis is a vegan authoritarian, yes?

Lab grown meat is legal now by national standards but in the People's Republic of New York, I have yet to see it in my local store.

In super duper socialist commie Canada I've had no problem finding it for a few years now. (My in-laws are vegetarians.)

Quite the opposite. He wants people gnawing off the meat of a living cow. None of this processed stuff

Yeah I'm not touching that crap. They can keep it to themselves.

No one is forcing you, though the odds are rather high that it may be the "meat" of the future. There may come a day when killing animals for meat is made illegal.

Are you meaning lab-grown meat or plant-based meat? I don't think lab-grown meat is yet available in any stores in the US or Canada.

Oh shoot I meant plant-based meat. Confused myself lol

I have tried one that was like, a blend between plant-based and lab-grown meat.

 

[SalixIncendium]

You must mean one of the plant-based products that contain heme, the iron-containing compound found in blood that gives meat that "meat" flavor, such as Impossible or Beyond brands.

They're not really related to lab-grown meat, as they are soy-based.

No is forcing us today but I'm not interested in just today. California has already moved to ban ICE vehicles. They can control how much and when you drive. Lab meat. They can decide when and how much "meat" you eat. This will all be forced on us under the guise of being good for us and the "environment". Being nice to people by using their preferred pronouns will advance your social score making you eligible for more "meat" and electricity.
