Does lab-grown meat need to be labeled as Lab gown meat or something else?

Yeah. The same way organic meat gets labeled. We should know where it comes from, right?
To be honest though, Iâm having a hard time arguing against lab grown meat. Itâs a good alternative to conventional meat. I donât know enough to argue the downside.
My concern might be the energy consumption vs conventional meat. But it takes two weeks to produce the same chicken meat in a lab. Thatâs a lot less.
Iâm curious about the long-term risks. Are all nine essential amino acids present in the meat? Iâd like to know before I start relying on it for nutritional purposes.

Breakfast is my favourite meal. If someoneâs making breakfast for you, you wake up to the delicious smell of coffee, bacon, toast, eggs, waffles, etc. No one will have to call your name twice!
Wouldnât it be nice to experiment at home and try out other countriesâ breakfast menus?
For me, the Columbian breakfast looks particularly tasty.

One food that surprisingly has a variety for every meal: the beloved sausage!
I canât believe thereâs a sausage that has oatmeal in it!

If youâre following government guidelines for food and health, watch this episode very carefully, as the industry and policy lies being exposed are triggering.
Calley Means has been advising politicians and prominent food and pharma companies and has founded his own company, TrueMed, to expose and change the food industries causing harm that the healthcare industry is profiting heavily.
The best thing for you to do right now is get as educated about the system you are part of as citizens, consumers, and patients of all parties involved in feeding yourself and your families. This conversation hits hard when you realize how inescapable all of this feels.
Calley shares from experience working with big food industries and losing his mother to a succession of foodborne illnesses that have everything to do with food thatâs leading to cancer, Alzheimers, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune conditions,and depression.

Healthcare is the fastest growing industry? Yikes!
There are plans in place, that people donât have time to think about in their daily lives.
We have our food budget, go to the supermarket, eat what we can, get sick, go to the doctor and get some meds. We donât see any problem.
But thereâs a plan there.
We have to be aware of our surroundings, I guess.
Not to digress, but Iâm not anti vaccines. Itâs just a meme.

The food industry helps them a lot
Nestle, Kelloggâs, and other big food conglomerates have been funding a massive misinformation campaign to make you think their foods are healthy.
Their goal is to get you addicted, and make billions in profits. Itâs straight from Big Tobaccoâs playbook â literally.

Some of us grew up observing the food guide pyramid.
It has evolved to a reference plate.
And now, thereâs even a lifestyle pyramid. This pyramid is different because it puts grains, healthy fats, and fruits/vegetables at the same level.

So, youâve got some extra money, you wanna upgrade your kitchen and install this beast.
A commercial-grade range!
Slow down, partner! Before you place the order, just think it through, first.
I didnât expect this In Europe
Horse-meat mislabeled as beef. Honey diluted with cheap sugar syrups. Counterfeit extra-virgin olive oil. Food crime has become a multi-billion dollar industry, impacting everything from the most affordable to the most expensive ingredients. Approximately 10% of our consumed food is believed to be adulterated. âWhat we know for sure is that food fraud is growing exponentially and itâs more and more worrying,â states one consumer advocate.
Criminal syndicates have infiltrated the global food supply chain, eroding consumer trust in labels and the contents of their plates. In Italy, the mafia controls entire sectors of the food industry, while worldwide, well-organized criminal networks collaborate to exploit intricate supply chains. Scams vary from intentionally mislabeling inferior products as premium items to substituting one foodstuff for something entirely different. The profits are staggering. But what risks does this pose to consumers? How can we detect food fraud? And what measures can be taken to halt it?

Iâd hate to spend $12 on a bottle of extra-virgen, then find out itâs actually a blend with corn oil.
The sad part is that I would never know. How about spending double the money on organic apples, only to find out that the farmer was putting ¨organic¨ stickers on conventional apples?
Is it only big farms that would do this? How about small local farmers?
@SmallPaul How can you know what youâre getting?
@Mondeoman @tommor Any ideas?

The big retail food chains have food labs and compliance teams who check the origins and content of all their stock. Things donât often go wrong but when they do, itâs big news - it affects a lot of people compared to a local grocer. But has the local grocer got a food lab and a compliance team?

So, does that make the local grocerâs suppliers more or less likely to break the rules?
Do smaller farms/producers break the rules less often because they have less resources to get away with it? Or are they just as likely to break the rules because no one would suspect the ¨little guy¨?
I used to subscribe to a spring water delivery service. The tap water has a chlorine-ish taste/smell.
Then one day, I didnât know if my mind was playing tricks on me or not, but I thought the delivery serviceâs water has a taste similar to the tap water. It made me wonder, what if they added 20% tap water to the spring water to save money? How could I know the difference?

My guess is that it would actually cost them more to do that than not do it. (But I take your general point anyway).

We have already been ruined by food lobbyists.
Corrupt Food Industry - Lobbying Against Health - Meat Consumption
In 2015, the WHO listed one of the additives in processed meats as carcinogenic. That same additive was nearly banned in America in the 1970s â until lobbying from the meat industry discredited the scientists. We reveal how, to impede or halt regulations on certain additives, lobbyists have been working in the shadows for decades.
At the heart of this strategy are the scientists who collaborate, who receive generous compensation for studies that promote meat consumption. In conjunction with this, those whose work finds health risks associated with meat are âshot down

Right, theyâre usually a few steps behind.
Assuming the corruption isnât at the top, this system works. But then youâd have to wait for a whistleblower, or April OâNeil to come snooping around your favourite commercial meat provider. By then, youâve been tricked into thinking your meat was organic/grass/fed for the last five years.
When you watch these videos, you realise how hard it is to escape it. The only real solution is to raise your own livestock and grow your own food. Not impossible, but impractical for most. So what do you do?
Perhaps, thereâs NOTHING you can do. I think the only thing you can do is just do the best you can to eat healthy. Thatâs all.
