The GOOD NEWS is the technology, which involves taking cells from developing animals and growing them in bioreactors, was meant to change the way food is made. Instead, the industry is about to fall apart.
Lab-grown meat also known as ‘Frankenstein food’ hasn’t caught on with consumers, even though it has gotten billions of dollars from famous backers like Bill Gates and Richard Branson.
It never worked with economics. From the beginning, the economics were not working out well. Making lab-grown meat requires lab conditions that are similar to those used in pharmaceuticals, expensive nutrients, and skilled labor, which drives up the costs of production to levels that can’t be sustained.
A study found that the wholesale price would have to be around $63 per kilo in order to break even. At that price, it would be too expensive to compete with regular meat. A lot of businesses, including SCiFi Foods and Israel’s Aleph Farms, have shut down or fired a lot of their employees.
The industry pushed by Silicon Valley billionaire Globalists like Bill Gates will lose billions and god willing totally fail in the next year.

So they are making this fake meat because it will save the planet right?
Current production methods of lab-grown meat could end up being way worse for the environment than beef farming, despite being touted as a sustainable alternative.
Their life-cycle assessment of current meat-growing processes – which has yet to be peer-reviewed – found cultured meat production could emit between four to 25 times more carbon dioxide per kilogram than regular beef and all its hidden costs, depending on the techniques used.
“This is an important conclusion given that investment dollars have specifically been allocated to this sector with the thesis that this product will be more environmentally friendly than beef,” UCD food scientist Derrick Risner and colleagues write in their paper.
“My concern would just be scaling this up too quickly and doing something harmful for the environment,” Risner elaborates.
