cellular eatin: ‘tastes like chicken … because it is’

If it be­comes wide­spread, cel­lu­lar agri­cul­ture could have sev­er­al ad­van­tages over tra­di­tion­al an­i­mal agri­cul­ture … no chick­ens would be in­volved at all.”
Adele Pe­ters, on lab-grown meat

Dozens of firms are de­vel­op­ing cul­ti­vat­ed chick­en, beef and pork, with a view to slash­ing the im­pact of in­dus­tri­al live­stock pro­duc­tion on the cli­mate and na­ture crises, as well as pro­vid­ing clean­er, drug-free and cru­el­ty-free meat. Cur­rent­ly, about 130 mil­lion chick­ens are slaugh­tered every day for meat, and 4 mil­lion pigs. By weight, 60% of the mam­mals on earth are live­stock, 36% are hu­mans and only 4% are wild.”
Dami­an Car­ring­ton, The Guardian

The com­pa­ny, Eat Just, is based in San Fran­cis­co and de­scribes its prod­uct as ‘real, high-qual­i­ty meat cre­at­ed di­rect­ly from an­i­mal cells for safe hu­man consumption.’”
Mike Ives, NYT

 

I am re­think­ing much of my diet again. Baby steps to­wards mor com­pas­sion­ate eating.

To­tal­ly boy­cotting takoy­a­ki. Oth­er­wise known as “oc­to­pus balls.” It’s of­fi­cial­ly off the menu for me, along with oc­to­pus in any ed­i­ble form. I don’t know if you have ever looked into the eyes of an oc­to­pus, there is in­tel­li­gence within.

I feel like I must em­brace com­pas­sion­ate din­ing as well as con­sum­ing foods pre­pared sim­pler. And there are rea­sons for this, not just an­oth­er willy-nil­ly de­ci­sion du jour; I am re­al­ly feel­ing dam­aged by all the shit the past four years has produced.

My faith in 30% of the coun­try is shak­en – which is still a bet­ter num­ber than wat it’s been for so long.

Are we still above com­pas­sion? Above sci­ence? Above Truth it­self? And do we even be­lieve wat’s in the food supply??

Tho right now I’m try­ing to fig­ure out straw­ber­ry ic­ing for a straw­ber­ry cookie.

I need a freeze-dri­er. Sev­er­al leads, but me­thinks ri­val com­pa­nies drop shittalk on each other’s re­views. ’Cause it’s like ei­ther “Five stars, it blew me, and de­liv­ered a piz­za,” or “If I could rate this worse than one star, I’d have to say it was like get­ting raped at your chemo treat­ment af­ter your mom’s fu­ner­al, but I’d also have to back the car over my own child to make it worth buy­ing this crap.”

The search continues …
