So many people are like “ew but lab meat is gross & unnatural”… but THIS is the “normal” meat you are eating right now 👇 pumped full of antibiotics and synthetic hormones because that’s the only way to keep the animals alive in such unnatural filthy factory farm conditions.

Unless you are buying direct from a nice artisanal organic free range farm, you’re almost certainly eating this filthy drugged up bioslop, coz that’s how the vast majority of farm animals live in America (especially pork and chicken)

I grew up in a farming and hunting community. I deeply support real farmers who care for their animals and the quality of the meat they produce for customers. But these farmers are being PUT OUT OF BUSINESS by the giant conglomerates like Smithfield and Tyson who push factory

Pay close attention to the perversely named “Food Security and Farm Protection” act that senators like Joni Ernst, & Trump’s ag sec Brooke Rollins are trying to sneak into the upcoming farm bill. It’s a piece of regulatory capture for big ag that will undermine all the progress

@Liv_Boeree Are you against high welfare meat? Have you spoken about your reasoning. I am a very strong factory farm opponent. But I think farms with happy cattle are good.

@jonatanpallesen Big fan of high welfare meat and strongly support people who elevate and support high welfare farmers. I grew up in a farming & hunting community

@Liv_Boeree What are the odds that process will ever scale economically?

@evanbooth It won’t if idiotic anti science governments keep banning its development before it even exists

@Liv_Boeree Which company did you eat this meat from?

@OddStockTrader Upside foods

@Liv_Boeree Lab meat is cancer

@Jared_V__ Low quality factory farmed animal meat is cancer, try again babe

@Liv_Boeree I do worry about the subtle differences. Like, why are there such stark differences between grass fed vs grain fed beef/bovine products? Can we really account for all the subtleties with lab grown? Maybe in time, but it’s something I do worry about as a layman

@playerTwoQ Fair questions, and things that need to be researched deeply! Alas incumbent meat producer lobbies (whose meat is mostly hormone and antibiotic filled garbage btw) are trying to stifle all research into it by getting the technology banned, preventing R&D from getting funded

@Liv_Boeree I don’t see why that’s relevant… nobody has claimed that it won’t work - as in won’t contain protein. I think the claim is primarily that it’s gross and unnatural. How will you prove you are not gross and unnatural?

@Liam_Mack_ This is the meat you are currently eating - utterly gross and unnatural

@Liv_Boeree Also Liv I'm wondering how you've managed to eat lab grown meat? Currently I eat foods such as Beyond meat etc. I'd like to try what you've tried.

@DeadStarLegacy At an Upside foods event

@Liv_Boeree You didn’t get that strong by eating lab meat 🙄 you got that strong by eating real meat. This new push to eating lab food is fucking weird as hell. You’re like the 10th person I’ve seen pop up in my feed saying almost the exact same thing. Your spiel is as unnatural as your

@Liv_Boeree Your argument: “None of of my current athleticism came as a result of consuming lab grown meat, but being athletic, I am able to predict the safety of lab grown meat, therefore it must be healthy.”

@Liv_Boeree YESSSSSS

@Liv_Boeree Oh snap!

@Liv_Boeree those arms are worthy am admiration Liv!

@Liv_Boeree the average western man is a pretty low bar, tbf

@Liv_Boeree @xlr8harder The cheek of the woman :)
