RE: Cattlemen denied the sole use of the term meat?21 Sep 2021 11:52
Terminology is an issue with food production. I agree Lab grown has connotations of Frankenstein, but actually also of health and hygiene. A point I raised with Mr Mellon about shelf life he was very quick to latch on to as a positive in terms of less chance of contamination or food poisoning with lab grown meat compared to farm meat particularly in intensive farming with pesticides, growth hormones, over fertilisation, disease etc. Indeed Lab meat sounds safe to me, but the proof will be in the pudding. If it costs pretty much the same to produce any species of lab grown meat, it could take offal off the table. I remember a butcher trying to convince me ox heart was as good as fillet steak. I stopped going there!
