"Lab-grown meat makers sue Texas over ban on cultivated protein"

The Bread Guy said:
Meanwhile, Big(ish) Cultivated Meat fights back. Seems in the midst of bans & stuff, companies are sharing tech & hooking up with other companies to push, in this case, Cultivated Fat :)

Backed Into a Corner, Alternative Protein Gets Creative

State legislative bans are targeting ingredients, dyes and cultivated products in 2025. Therefore, the market is forcing OEMs and alternative protein suppliers to get creative in manufacturing, lowering ingredient costs, and even going to market.

Precision fermentation
Cultivated fat (lipids, oil, biodiesel)
Renewable ICE fuel.

I would sooner put that stuff into my car than my belly. Assuming it is cheap enough.

Maybe they can get yeast to chomp down on dirty coal and defecate clean diesel.

USDA & FDA seem good with it so far - eat many hot dogs? :)

OOORRR that if you eat enough of it, maybe you'll just stop aging and stay young forever?

I'm a glass half full kinda guy...



(Maybe you won't die a young & horrible death, but eating bread that doesn't age (that the mice won't even nibble on) probably doesn't decease your chances)

Ha. What's that quip: two things that will probably survive a nuclear holocaust are Cockroaches and Hostess Twinkies.

We will occasionally buy tortilla bread 'rounds' for wraps and things. They come in a pack and the ones we don't use will sit in the bread basket for months and all's they get is stiff.

I don't think anybody's did. Our daughter always enters stuff in the local Fall Fair and she said the fresh produce entries were way down this year.

I eat hot dogs. I live on sausages. Beef hearts are great. And I also love a nice black pudding with a runny egg.

Feel better? 😄

So you've practiced free will in choosing to consume what could be of questionable (but tasty) origin. Should not consumers in Texas (and the other states that have blocked cultivated meat like substance) have the choice to purchase "cultivated meat like substance" without interference from "Big Beef" who are undoubtedly a major lobbying presence in the Texas legislature? The first thought that came to mind in seeing this story was the reaction many years ago from the Texas beef industry when Oprah made a comment about not eating a hamburger.
 
Absolutely they should have choice.

They should be able to buy this crap. They just can't call it meat or anything that connotes meat or anything derived from the animal or plant kingdoms, or, for that matter, fungi.

It is a purely chemical confection with indeterminate attributes.

How much does the marketing plan cost?

remember years ago when Europe didn't want "Frankenfood" ie Genetically Modified
Well honestly we as humans have been genetically modifying foods for centuries. Cattle, sheep, etc etc

There's a difference between incest and miscegeny and gene splicing. I have my limits.
