i had no expectations for what a lab meat machine looked like so this really changes nothing for me
I envisioned something like a warehouse full of really large petri dishes
Honestly i was lazy and just pictured a single normal sized petri dish being used a lot.
Yes exactly lol
There's a row of pork chops, a row of hamburgers, a row of smoked ham, etc lmao
A guy comes around and waters them with nutrients every day and they play gentle music to the meat patties.
The row of frankfurters has a german brass band visiting biweekly
honestly, I'm more interested now, this has tickled my likely ASD "How It's Made"-loving neurons
A few months ago he was trying to get Pennsylvania to ban use of the word "milk" for anything that's not dairy products. Nevermind that coconut milk and almond milk have been a thing since like the renaissance and officially defined since the 18th century lmao.
The popularity of alt-milks has skyrocketed recently too. It's funny that they're choosing now as the time to ban the word "milk" after there's zero chance anyone will mistake it for cow's milk.
Oh drat oh bother I've accidentally bought peanut butter instead of dairy butter. What ever shall I put on my toast now??
It's to make vegan shit unappetizing to normies
We already have that in the EU, so we've got almond "drinks" and oat "drinks"
These days it only seems he only likes US foreign policy and islamaphobia
Yeah I genuinely don’t understand the point he’s trying to make. I’m not even vegan, this is just such a weird thing to have an issue with. Like yeah, it looks like any industrial food production facility? What did you expect it to look like?
It's a bioreactor. Nobody show him where they make literally any vaccine.
But Subnautica taught me bioreactors are what I put baby animals in to convert into power
Ok John now show us what the average slaughterhouse looks like inside
Looks like a big beer still. Is Fetterman about to become a prohibitionost too?
beer still
You don't make beer in a still, you make it in a fermenter, which yes this does look like.
I just now figured out that a "still" is used in a di"still"ery, still looks similar tho.
Yeah they just look similar because literally all industrial food production things look like this
Beer is made in breweries, because you don't need to distill it. You distill liquor.
I'll always support you israel while I eat my bird flu chicken shit fed burgers
If you use chicken shit instead as a condiment it’s even more American.
Has this guy ever been to a brewery? FYI this is the sorta thing MOST modern food is made in.
This looks kinda similar to a big industrial sized brewery distillation machine. I assume he drinks? Maybe he doesn't.
ShowSmhd. Just drink naturally fermented compost juice like god intended.
Compare that to the horrifying machinery of blood and guts and shit that makes your fucking steak.
Way, way, way too many people in the west have a "meat comes from grocery stores" idea about meat production. We need a modern version of "The Jungle" to get people actually aware of the fucked up conditions in these places.
It is so funny when someone complains how something they don't personally like is made with scary industrial equipment. Unlike... everything else.
If you're avoiding meat purely for ethical reasons, take a closer look at the practices of the specific company you want to try a product from before buying. Many still use fetal bovine serum to grow their meat, meaning it's still reliant on industrial ranching and the slaughter of animals.
Some companies are working to remove the need for FBS. Without this step, lab grown meat isn't really an improvement, though it is an incremental step away from the harms caused by industrial ranching.
it looks indistinguishable from literally any other industrial chemical process lmao
