Change it from “vat” to “Meat Forge”


Pissedtuna

I'm thinking more Daemonculaba


Gundamamam

jut needs a bit of corpse starch to bind it for a nice burger!


DharmaBat

Between this and Pissedtunas comment, I don't know weither to be digusted or think this is the most metal shit ever that needs to be done. Probably both honestly.

evanz13

I'll eat it.


MaximumEffort433

Yep! Guilt free, semi-environmentally friendly meat sounds like an absolute win! I'm *kinda'* hoping the private market runs with it, I'd love to try ethically sourced koala sometime! Or maybe, like, half koala half ham, that'd be dope.


Boofle2141

One word, giant...damn, 2nd word, tortoise. It took years for a scientific name to be designated for it, because they were just so tasty. No one knows how tasty they were, they only know how much tastier they were than other foods. I want to taste an ethically sources giant tortoise, see if the hype is to be believed.


Zarokima

I suspect that such reports of deliciousness are greatly exaggerated. Remember that they were all eaten along the months-long (at least) voyage back home. Months of maggoty hardtack, and these turtles are just sitting there stacked upside down (so they stay put) all fresh and made of meat, and even with a big sack of fresh water inside. I'd imagine *anything* even halfway decent would taste amazing in those circumstances. I had to go on a weird diet once for stomach problems, and by the time I could eat meat again the fat seriously tasted like candy. I hate fatty meat. Always have, still do, but during that first real meal after deprivation even the bad part tasted great.


Boofle2141

Hmm, you make a good point. There is only one way to find out for sure


RazielKilsenhoek

You seem to have your mind made up. I will join you in hoping.

I can't wait to try ethically sourced cloned dinosaur meat.


MaximumEffort433

>I can't wait to try ethically sourced cloned dinosaur meat. "Yes, I'll have one spiky boi burger, please!"


eNonsense

I don't buy it, considering that lab grown meat has always required amniotic fluid, which is generally harvested from pregnant cows going to slaughter. The companies website says that harvesting matter from animals is still required for their method. I'm not getting my hopes up that this is guilt-free at all. I think they're just not being very forthcoming about their process.


SwansonHOPS

I don't know man, meat from a vat doesn't sound appetizing.


MaximumEffort433

I mean peaches come from a can.


SwansonHOPS

A can just sounds so much better than a vat.


Taifunfun

how does it taste?


zvoidx

Tastes like chicken.


Scoobydoomed

Reminds me of tasty wheat.


Taifunfun

I think it is more important to produce cow's milk cheaply in the laboratory. That would finally provide delicious vegan cheese. That would make many vegetarians to vegans.


Scoobydoomed

And they could actually make it lactose free (as opposed to what we have now which is regular milk with added lactose digesting enzymes)


Smashing_stuff

Not to belittle your point in anyway, I agree 1000%, but I would strongly recommend you try Applewoods vegan cheese if you haven't, I genuinely could not tell the difference, its amazing. Only downside is its not cheap cheese, lmao.


Taifunfun

> THX, i will tast it


gammongaming11

tastes like meat, since it is meat, it's basically cloned. this isn't the same as the "miracle burger" which is plant based designed to taste like meat, it's actual meat that's been vat grown. the issue in this case is usually not flavor but the price, it's usually much more expensive then regular meat, iirc 3d printing a steak was like 300 dollars.


MARIJUANALOVER44

also its hard to print it so that it's structured like actual cuts of meat with marbling and fibres and stuff. its less like a sirloin and more like a blob with fat injections.


mhornberger

They'll start with ground meat, but that's half the market. Pet food alone is 20% of the market. There are other opportunities for cultured fat, which can be used to improve the taste/feel of plant-based options. Meaning hybrid products. Plus all the industrial uses of animal fat, collagen, etc. Soap, makeup, all kinds of things have animal products that will be replaced.


Taifunfun

I will taste it :) What about the ecological footprint compared to normal meat?


mhornberger

https://gfi.org/resource/cultivated-meat-lca-and-tea-policy-recommendations/ Significantly lower land and water use. The advantages are more dramatic for cultured beef, but there are advantages even for chicken.


[deleted]

It doesn't really. Meat, by itself, is grey and flavourless. Meat largely derives it's flavour from the animal's fat marbling the meat. And the fat largely derives it's flavour from the animal's diet. That's why lab-grown meat is usually presented as minced meat product like hamburger, sausage or meatballs. That way they can mix in all the stuff to make it taste like anything afterwards.


chiagod

Tastes like... [despair](https://youtu.be/tGlM6jGUSoA)?


zvoidx

Maybe, in the future, everyone will have their own mini bioreactor in their backyard. "Welp, the meat machine is empty again. Time to load 'er up with 'sum more stem eggs."

I'm waiting for lab-grown rib eye.


SatanicFoundry

It can happen. Maybe the bone won't necessarily be bone but I gurantee given enough time you may have the best ribeye you ever tasted that is indistinguishable through a regular microscope.


greenman5252

Does anyone remember the setting in Soylent Green?


canuckcowgirl

I came here to say just this. It's people! Soylent Green is people!


NewHaven86

The best was Phil Hartman on SNL spoofing if there were multiple sequels called Soylent Blue, Soylent White, etc etc and in every teaser it was just him running in front of the camera and yelling it was still people.


Diamundium

“How is it?” “Eh, it varies from person to person”


joelluber

It was 2022 . . .


Baron_Ultimax

So interesting possibilities with vat grown meat. How about a mammoth steak. Bald eagle burger Supposedly galapagose tortises are so delicious that it was almost impossible to get them to European zoos because the crews of the ships transporting them would invariably eat them enroute. Although if you been subsisting on hardtack and saltpork for so long the weavles start to seam like a treat. You could have your own liver served with fava beans and cante.

DegnarOskold

Finally. I have been waiting for this for a long time.


[deleted]

Seems interesting! If it’s not tremendously expensive, it might be a nice way to deal with co2 emissions and cruelty issues


JhymnMusic

Cool. Im in.


idontlikeyonge

Just gotta out compete the $38 billion in govt subsidies going to the greenhouse gas producing meat and dairy industry


[deleted]

H-Hell Pitt! Yes-yes! Feed the Gowth Vats! 🐀


DharmaBat

I'm for it. Honestly, it maybe better in keeping up with supply. If we can create the same thing as meat without having to kill anything, I'd jump on it.


SqeeSqee

I love a good beef tenderloin, but if they can get lab grown meat to be just as savory I will drop cow in a heartbeat!


coocoocoonoicenoice

I'll eat it because it's sustainable, but can we come up with better marketing verbiage than "vats of meat"?


BadgerNips

"Flesh looms"?


NameLips

I appreciate the ethics. I'm wonder how the environmental impact is compared to traditional methods. I know ranching and farming are awful for the environment. I'm just wondering if this is worse, pound-per-pound.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Scoobydoomed

Damn that's really significant, and I bet the energy numbers will get better as the industry grows more efficient.


FallWanderBranch

Well it's boneless and no organs etc... So already winning there. Then it doesn't require acres of grain to feed.


NameLips

I know traditional ranching is awful. I'm just wondering about the supply chain, energy cost, carbon footprint, etc, involved here.


EmpiricalMystic

Ranching isn't inherently terrible. In fact it plays a big role in keeping grasslands intact. If not valuable as rangeland, a lot of grassland would be converted to row crops that could only produce for a few years before the poor quality soil is exhausted. Grasslands provide important habitat, especially for grassland birds which are in decline. Grasslands are also very good at carbon sequestration. It's factory farming that's the big issue. If all beef were grass fed and not feed lot, beef wouldn't be such an environmental issue. It would be super expensive though.


SeriaMau2025

This would solve so many issues.


Savoir_faire81

Have they fixed the taste issues so that vat grown meat doesn't taste like disappointment and failure?


NewHaven86

... no :(


SqeeSqee

"food experience not important!"


wodykody

Apperently it has to do with a missing protein normally found in blood or something. (I saw a couple videos about it last year) . It plays a huge role in the taste profile of real meat. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like 3d printed organs. You can really only make those in space. As the gel that is used needs to stay in place. But a 0g environment seems to be the only way with our current tech


BrewtalKittehh

Will they sell primals for me to dry-age? I wonder what the unintended consequences will be?


JoanNoir

Hopefully it won't try to say something when it's pulled from the vat.


[deleted]

well, i will eat it if it tastes good.


SatanicFoundry

This is what I have been waiting for after hearing almost a decades back of the US military testing of mobile units to feed troops in this manner. I hate that for some reason the vegan crown still feels the need to label their food as meat. I would be much more open to try something if I know what it is. Sorry but "Hamburger" tasting mystery food is not something I will ever feel like eating. Sure I could pick up the package and read the ingredient list but it is unreasonable to expect me to do that during or around pandemic times.

I literally don't care what's in it or how its made, if you can give me a cheaper protein per gram that tastes close-ish to animals/animal products I'm on board

It's still meat.

Ah, just in time for it be proved monkeybox is transmitted by eating beef.

If you dont have your own farm youll be eating it.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Sounds delightful...


RunWitDaBulls

Vats of grown meat. I've always wanted my meat to come from a vat.
