Lab-grown or “cultivated” meat is made by growing animal stem cells around a scaffold in a nutrient-rich broth. It has been proposed as a kinder and greener alternative to traditional meat because it uses less land, feed, water and antibiotics than animal farming and removes the need to farm and slaughter livestock, which are a major source of greenhouse gases.

However, Derrick Risner at the University of California, Davis, and his colleagues found that the global warming potential of cultivated meat, defined as the carbon dioxide equivalents emitted for each kilogram of meat produced, is 4 to 25 times higher than for regular beef.

The researchers conducted a life-cycle assessment of cultivated meat that estimated the energy used in each step in current production methods. They predict that this will be similar regardless of which animal’s cells are being cultivated.

They found that the nutrient broth used to culture the animal cells has a large carbon footprint because it contains components like sugars, growth factors, salts, amino acids and vitamins that each come with energy costs.

For example, energy is required to grow crops for sugars and to run laboratories that extract growth factors from cells. Each component must also be carefully purified using energy-intensive techniques like ultrafiltration and chromatography before they can be mixed into the broth.

Good News From Israel

Israel's Good News Newsletter to 12th May 24

In the 12th May 24 edition of Israel’s good news, the highlights include:

Approval for Israeli handheld device that detects preventable blindness.

Two Israeli innovations that increase effectiveness of life-saving medication.

Two Israeli solutions that generate edible protein to feed a hungry world.

European grant to promote Israeli cultivated meat technology.

Another week of Israeli sporting successes.

An Israeli breakthrough in carbon-dating confirms Biblical history.

Read More: Good News From Israel

I hope soon to start updating my 2011 blog "Boycotting Israel - Just Do It", to help counter the anti-Israel protests worldwide. Meanwhile, every week Israel produces groundbreaking innovations that the world would be crazy to boycott.  As we approach the 76th birthday of the Jewish State, recent achievements include a hand-held device to prevent blindness, increasing the efficiency of Operating Rooms, novel cancer therapies, making vital medication more effective, advances in robotics, protection against cyber attacks, removing greenhouse gases, new sources of protein, sustainable metal casting, faster production of non-animal meat, and more.  No wonder countries such as Colombia and Turkey are re-evaluating recent anti-Israel decisions.

Meanwhile, as can be seen in the photo, Israel is massively building new homes to accommodate all those who are now realizing their dream to live in this amazing country.  Happy Israeli Independence Day - Yom Ha'Atzmaut Sameach.

GOOD Meat, a company that grows chicken and other meat from animal cells without slaughtering animals, has cleared a significant Food and Drug Administration safety hurdle. The clearance brings the company one step closer to selling its products in the U.S.

The regulatory agency issued a "no questions" letter as part of its pre-market consultation, which means the agency agrees with the company's conclusion that its cultivated chicken is safe to consume.

Now, the company must obtain a grant of inspection from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to operate its production facility in Alameda, Calif. "We are working with the USDA to clear that last hurdle," GOOD Meat CEO Josh Tetrick told NPR by text.

The Fatwa Committee of the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) has announced that the consumption of cultivated meat is permissible as halal under certain conditions. The decision opens up a market of over two billion halal consumers worldwide, representing about 25% of the world’s population.

The fatwa comes at the heels of the approval of cultivated chicken meat sales by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), which led to the MUIS reviewing the permissibility of cultivated meat for Muslim consumption.

“This [decision] will be essential for any future plans for the halal certification of cultivated meat, to facilitate Muslim consumers making their own informed choice whether to consume such products, based on their dietary preferences,” says the MUIS.

Cultivated Meat

They aren't banning lab grown meat or cultivated meat because it's bad for you. Get real, we have lots of poison on the shelves at supermarkets. They're banning it because of Big Ag, and factory farms, they don't want to lose business. Cultivated meat is made of animal cells and amino acids from plants. That's it. No Frankenstein conspiracy theory bullcrap. It will save several animals, and lots of land by eliminating industrial farms. You conservative conspiracy theorists, are so afraid of it, and rather animals perish and land be used up for industrial factory farming which is a breeding ground for disease FYI.

I hope lab grown meat becomes popular and that these low life farmers lose their jobs after years of animal abuse :D

Enhancing The Organoleptic & Nutritional Properties Of Cultured Meat

Key Takeaways Lee et al. (2024) focus on enhancing cultured meat’s organoleptic and nutritional properties, an area that has been relatively underexplored compared to cell proliferation and differentiation. The study tailors the 2D differentiation of primary bovine myoblasts and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on gelatin/alginate scaffolds with varying stiffness to control the sensory…

Fake Meat Bad For The Environment

A study was published in the New Scientist last week looking at the carbon footprint of fake meat. Fake meat, they say, is produced by putting stem cells (they omit the cancerous cells) in a broth of nutrients that help them to multiply and grow. It’s the production of this broth that is giving it such a high carbon price tag. The broth contains elements such as sugar that needs to be…

Cultivated Meat: The Future of Sustainable and Ethical Meat Production

Cultivated meat, also known as lab-grown meat or cell-based meat, is a meat alternative that is created by cultivating animal cells in a lab setting, rather than by raising and slaughtering animals. The idea of producing meat in this way has been around for several decades, but recent advances in technology have made it possible to produce cultivated meat that is nearly indistinguishable from…
