Cool. But I thought pet food generally was made from cheap scraps like organs that would be wasted otherwise.
But hopefully this leads to a stepping stone to human quality grown meats
It used to be, though from the 80s or so onwards, pet food companies started doing research into the nutritional needs of household animals and making food that was formulated more precisely than “whatever was on the abattoir floor”. They now have breed-specific dog foods and foods for cats with kidney issues and so on.
Fourth ingredient on a best selling cat food:
It's the best part of the animal
It really depends on the brand, and popular brands aren't necessarily the healthier brands. We use Taste of the Wild with our dogs, which our vet approves of. It's not like that. This is the variety we usually get them:
If you can provide the same level of nutrition with lab-grown meat, though, I'm all for it.
Guess it's aimed at Vegans.
"Do you even have a dog?"
"Totally!"
"If he can have it, why can't I have it? 💔"
Good to see it will be possible to live an ethical vegan lifestyle whilst keeping cats and feeding them well.
