Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

kel-bliss conservatives after eating beef with a 1:1 ratio of antibiotics and meat

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 46 points 8 months ago

Love when my choices are taken away by the government.

banning it is doubly stupid in the face of it not being mass producible to begin with, check the literature, the bioreactors keep self-infecting; the only people pushing these are weird venture capitalists that are down bad on this investment, just eat some gosh darned beans, smh

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

The fact that today's semiconductor industry exists is proof enough that you shouldn't discount cultured meat ever becoming feasible. People are definitely getting ahead of themselves timescale-wise though.

I’ll be completely honest and say I have never read any of the literature, but having said that there are clearly agricultural interests involved trying to kill it in its crib, why wouldn’t they make fake propaganda about it? Big oil kept climate change off peoples lips for generations.

The fact that they're preemptively banning it makes me feel that it's impressive enough to be nervous

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yup. Before this I’ll be honest and say I took everyone here at their word that it was not feasible even without looking into it myself, but this bill made me think “wait a minute”.

It does feel like it's more a culture war nonce thing, given that the ban is happening in Florida - a state that doesn't even produce oranges any more.

Yeah I'm extremely skeptical that it will ever be scalable, maybe I'm wrong. One of the reasons is that you need pharmaceutical grade bioreactors, completely clean. When animals get disease they have an immune system to fight it. In a bioreactor, if they get contaminated, instead of a animal cell culture you'll just get a bacteria cell culture, because they reproduce so much faster.

Where I think there's some optimism is for precision fermentation to produce some types of animal products like milk, egg whites, cheese

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

Easily producible cheese products that don't require the horror show of modern milk production would be pretty awesome

Apparently China has had very good luck with pig skins for noodles

Lion's mane is a good meat substitute.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 37 points 8 months ago

Measles? Go back to school!

More choices on what you eat? Ban that shit now!

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 35 points 8 months ago

the pain is important, you see

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

Free market(?)

No(,) trade protectionism!

libertarians torn between eliminating the threat of soy and letting government dictate what can be produced

[–] principalkohoutek@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is for lab grown meat from cell cultures, not meat alternatives

[–] buh@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago

Doesn’t matter, to chuds it’s all soy the same way everyone to the left of George Bush is a communist

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

They're not torn at all, they flaunt their hypocrisy

[–] regul@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

It's woke, you see.
