This may open UP a can of worms , but wondered if any one has tried eating this meat and what it would take to set up a business producing lab grown meat. Might be a good business opportunity.
What do you guys think.

First things first........
It’s not meat
Second thing is how consumers think lab grown is ok but GMO is bad.

The people who want to control the food supply and what goes in it are part of a club, and you aren't in it.
May as well call it a chemical burger, it should appeal to nobody.

It is meat, and it is ok but GMO is bad because the box in the corner of the room or the little electronic device we all carry says so, so it must be true. Like anything, with the right marketing and propaganda, anything can be made to be either a savior or a death trap, just depends on the wording. |

Speaking of wording and propaganda, various beef producer organizations want to define "meat" as muscle that comes from an animal. Obviously they want to come out ahead of the curve in the propaganda department. And of course they aren't wrong. Meat has been defined as being a part of an animal for millennia. But I have no problem with lab-grown muscle culture to be called meat. Come to that I don't even care if someone want's to call a plant-based protein burger a burger or even some kind of meat. And if they did make something that looks, smells, and tastes like real beef, I'll eat it and enjoy it regardless of what it's called. I say this coming from a family of ranchers who make a great living at it.
Short of setting up your own lab or factory, and hiring lots of biochemists, there's no way for farmers to get in on the lab-grown meat thing in my opinion. I also don't expect it to be a major, disruptive force in the food industry for decades yet. There's more to good meat than muscle cells. There's bones, connective tissues, fats, and so forth. Plus it's going to take a long time for it to be cheaper than farmed animals.
There is potential for growth in the plant-based protein area, though. It would be wonderful to see more domestic consumer interest and demand for things like pea flour, lentils, and other pulses. A lot of room for growth I think. Canadians aren't used to eating pulses, though. But maybe that can change. We've had major diet shifts in the past (although mostly because of war).

These are the same people who threw a tantrum over the "pink slime" deal years ago and now desire test tube ick and call it meat. Give me a break.
Guess you know where I stand.
That said the crap does reach a different market that's not eating meat anyway.

I had someone send this to me today, I have not been following the Frankenstein meat situation and I suspect its also more than likely not pushed into the main stream media as per the truth of what monster they are creating in the lab as this came from an alternate media source.
---------------------------
A state ban on lab-grown meat sales, rejecting Upside Foods' argument that their cultivated chicken should be treated like conventional poultry under federal law
Research from UC Davis suggests lab-grown meat production is more resource-intensive than traditional beef, requiring substantial energy and water for growth mediums and bioreactor systems
The production of lab-grown meat faces challenges with endotoxin removal, which can add up to 25 times more environmental impact and requires energy-intensive purification methods
Lab-grown meat production requires extensive cell replication, raising concerns about cellular dysregulation and health risks, while lacking essential nutrients found in conventional meat
The court's decision could encourage other states to pass similar laws restricting lab-grown foods, setting a precedent for regulation of these products across U.S. markets.
In a landmark ruling, the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Florida upheld a state law banning the sale and distribution of lab-grown or "cultivated" meat.1 This law, enacted by the Florida Legislature, specifically prohibits companies from selling any meat or food product developed from cultured animal cells, like those grown in bioreactors.
The case centered on Upside Foods, a company at the forefront of cultivated meat technology, which argued that its lab-grown chicken should be treated like conventional poultry under federal law. However, under Florida’s new regulations, these products are barred from markets statewide.
