EXOTIC LAB MEAT. "In-Vitro Meat will be fashioned from any creature, not just domestics that were affordable to farm. Yes, ANY ANIMAL, even rare beasts like snow leopard, or Komodo Dragon. We will want to taste them all. Some researchers believe we will also be able to create IVM using the DNA of extinct beasts -- obviously, "DinoBurgers" will be served at every six-year-old boy's birthday party.""

WORLD OBESITY RISE DUE TO CHANGING DIET. "The number of overweight and obese adults in the developing world has almost quadrupled to around one billion since 1980...this is due to changing diets and a shift from eating cereals and grains to the consumption of more fats, sugar, oils and animal produce. The report predicts a "huge increase" in heart attacks, strokes and diabetes. This is because consumption of fat, salt and sugar, which has increased globally according to the United Nations.""

LAB MEAT OPTIMIST. "In-Vitro Meat will be socially transformative, like automobiles, cinema, vaccines. Slow-grown red meat & poultry will vanish from the marketplace, similar to whale oil's flame out when kerosene outshone it in the 1870's. Predictors believe that IVM will sell for half the cost of its murdered rivals. This will grind the $2 trillion global live-meat industry to a halt (500 billion pounds of meat are gobbled annually; this is expected to double by 2050)."" " http://lnkd.in/dWmwJkB View in LinkedIn

SALMON FARMS POLLUTE LOCHS."Pesticides from 12 salmon farms have contaminated lochs around Scotland's coast in breach of safety limits, according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa). There, levels of a pesticide called teflubenzuron were up to 455 times higher than Sepa's environmental quality standards in 2012."" " http://lnkd.in/d4zjbmd View in LinkedIn

BIOREACTOR MEAT EFFICIENT. "It has been claimed that, conditions being ideal, two months of in vitro meat production could deliver up to 50,000 tons of meat from ten pork muscle cells. In vitro meat may be produced as strips of muscle fibre, which grow through the fusion of precursor cells – either embryonic stem cells or specialised satellite cells found in muscle tissue. This type of meat can be cultured in a bioreactor."" " http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_meat View in LinkedIn

TEST TUBE MEAT? Oxford University study (2011) "estimated that cultured meat uses far less energy than most other forms, apart from chicken, and some 45 per cent less energy than beef, the most environmentally destructive meat." "They also found that synthetic meat needs 99 per cent less land than livestock, between 82 and 96 per cent less water, and produces between 78 and 95 per cent less greenhouse gas. In terms of relative environmental damage, there was no contest."" " http://lnkd.in/d-KqFJR View in LinkedIn

"FARMED FISH are kept in concentrations never seen in the wild (e.g. 50,000 fish in a 2-acre (8,100 m2) area) with each fish occupying less room than the average bathtub. This can cause several forms of pollution. Packed tightly, fish rub against each other and the sides of their cages, damaging their fins and tails and becoming sickened with various diseases and infections"" " http://lnkd.in/d-UTaTT View in LinkedIn

TEST TUBE MEAT DEBUT. In 2013, the first proof-of-concept for cultured meat was made public with a taste test, with money from Google's Sergey Brin. While many cited the high cost of this single artificial burger, this was sheer nonsense, as commercial production would change the economics significantly. The question is, will this be a serious player in future meat production? " " http://lnkd.in/dk9fVQM View in LinkedIn
