Why Musk Is Pro Lab Grown Meat. On Paper (webegreen.substack.com)

People who think lab grown meat is nowadays a way forward are seemingly unable to understand that food doesn't exist as an isolated "thing" but is always a connected amalgam of nutrients that don't exist in isloation.

In short, you cannot just add a bunch of vitamins and minerals to lab grown meat and think it's in any way shape or form healthy.


The billionaire is a disrupter by nature. His refusal to accept that meat production is in need of an overhaul is out of character. A radicalisation by his own platform or a vested interest?

>Whilst Musk’s stance on cultivated meat is unclear, he is no stranger to it. In 2022, Space X assisted Aleph farms’ research into cultivating meat in space by delivering cow cells to the ISS. That does, however, seem to be the extent of his involvement with a technology that in his mind solves a non-problem: the sustainable production of meat and animal products.

Clickbait headline.
