Today they advocate for Keto and lab grown meat
Unless you're referring to fake meat like impossible burger, what is wrong with lab grown meat? Does the nutritional value change when cells are cloned or something?
Most notably the fact that it grows so quickly by utilizing cancer cells, also that this is the exact same scenario as the cigarette epidemic, no one knows what exactly are the side effects since this has never been done before, were trying to paly god without knowing the implications. Also i find it ironic how most people stay away from preservatives and artificial chemicals because "theyre bad and make in a lab" but will happily down man's attempt at playing god
Where did you heard that? The only sources I've been able to find about lab-grown meat being made out of cancerous cells are tik-tok videos.
All articles I've read talk about it being made out of stem cells.
Not calling you a liar, and you have a point that this is something really new and we do not, in fact, know the long term consequences. But I couldn't find any reliable source to your claim.
And since I know the meat industry will do anything in its power to stop lab-grown meat from being a thing, I wouldn't trust just "rumors".
But I guess we should all be a bit skeptical of any claims both for in favor and against.
Are you questioning the results from the TikTok Journal of Advanced Biological Studies?
You won't find any scientific papers specifically saying cancer because the only papers (in any industry) are the ones that that owner (the company) can profit from. I don't think I need to go into how every company for the last 100 years have been doing this.
The reason they don't have to specifically say it's cancer it's because of a legal loophole. It's the same reason delta 8 thc can be sold in gas stations but delta 9 is federaly illegal, or how docs can give out percs, oxys, etc but not heroine
Stem cells aren't really cells per say, they're more of a blank canvas that can be turned into whatever cell they want... the issue tho: stem cells are EXPENSIVE. doing some rough math, the average placenta can cost 30-50,000 dollars, which can hold 10-50 million stem cells, an 8-ounce steak roughly contains about 289 million cells. So assuming every since stem cell was successfully turned into meat that would mean an 8oz steak would cost 46,136,100,300,000,000,000 USD. Also this doesn't take into account growth time. So instead they use cancer cells to try to simulate meat since cancer cells grow 3x faster and with less maintenance, which is saving them an incomprehensible about of money
At the end of the day, it's the same legal loophole they use to sell delta 8 in gas stations, while delta 9 is on the same level as heroine
