- Food scientists and startups are trying to make meat more ethically appealing by growing it -- cell by cell -- in a lab instead of on a farm. Even some vegans support so-called "clean" meat. But can lab grown meat overcome the dreaded "yuck factor?"

"not into lab-made things..." like toothpaste, perfume, cosmetics, vaccines, medicine, ink, petrolium products, metal alloys, need I go on? You couldn't survive without lab-made things in today's world.
Michael Berthelsen and there are natural alternatives to those products too.
justiceingeneral what is your natural alternative to a vaccine?
Johnathan Cortez Were you by chance stoned when you wrote this completely random comment? 'lol'
Johnathan Cortez You still haven't been able to show how your comment is AT ALL relevant to this discussion. Care to explain WHAT that single canabis oil would replace? Surely not vaccines or metals.
Johnathan Cortez You obviously ARE stoned. Go blaze somewhere else...
its disappointing how nobody in the comments realized that the people saying it was ‘unnatural’ were probably really cherrypicked
that's the whole point... they survey a bunch of people and show you that some people aren't very fond of the idea, and we therefore need improvement.
I have talked to friends about the subject and a lot of they say it feels unnatural and that they wouldn't want to eat it because it was made in a lab.
Yes, it's cherrypicked, but it is also a real concern for many potential consumers.
Meat 2, fixed the salmonella bug this time around
Also hogs less of your cpu/gpu
normally the following sentence would be a dead meme but:

A few decades ago it costed hundred thousands of dollar to sequence a genome, today it is a 100 bucks. For lab meat I bet this will be even quicker to develop if there is a strong demand and personnally I would this meat even tho I'm not vegan if it is more eco friendly, I'm all for it.
It’s actually 11 dollars a patty now!
How is it gross. The meat you regularly eat is obtained in even more gross ways. I'm nit vegan but if this tastes good, I'll stop eating meat and start eating this
Nanno MC Exactly.
It tastes as good as meat or even better (because u deside) because it is MEAT, not something else.
Sequencing a full genome costs way more than $100. Those '23 and me', etc. aren't sequencing a full genome, they just test many thousands of data points on your DNA. Very different.
"I'm not really into lab made things" so, medicine?
Yeah that lass made me go "Hmmmmm" as well. Hippie fruitcakes.
Even most healthy foods are chemically altered lab made foods
yes, being "into medicine" is also called "addiction"
opium addicts
Or literally anything else we consume or use, there's not a lot of "natural" things available to the general public anymore.
We need this technology, we should funds this
Yeah, we should get this to be mainstream as fast as possible.

Absolutely barbaric!
Comic Jester17 didn't wanna get his hands dirty.
It's called class, honey.
Isn't it something when somebody calls out another for using manners.
I eat some foods with my hands, but I'm not dumb enough to call out people who don't.
Why would anybody be opposed to this? If you told me that right now, in my supermarket, there was a product that was exactly the same as meat and roughly the same price, I would never participate in the murder of an animal again. No hesitation. And I can't imagine very many people would react differently. At the very least, I think we could get society to the point where "real" meat is considered a delicacy, not a staple. Culturally, I think this technology is going to absolutely change the world.
I would be opposed to this because i'd like to keep my job and farm
Id rather eat real meat
@@nb3775 this is related meat
You can use your existing capital to purchase labs that grow meat. Do you fear automation? Please don't be a Luddite.
One big problem for the lab grown meat is the lack of texture variety. Real meat not only has the muscle tissues alone but also fat and connective tissues that give the diversity in the taste of different kinds of meat. In simple words, producing meat is unlike copy and paste. We cannot eat the same piece of meat everyday again and again, it'll be getting bland real quickly. We still need to wait, this lab grown meat is yet to be the meat we're used to.
"I'm convinced I'm gonna be eating a chicken nugget. This had better behave like chicken nugget in every way, shape, and form, or I'm gonna freak out." That is hilarious out of context.
The chicken nugget just runs away
This is actually monumental, people calling this "unnatural" should take a look at our current population, I still don't understand why there are people that look into it as though it's unethical.
Animals use lab things too
What these people really mean is that producing the lab grown meat is like copy and paste the same piece of meat over and over, so it lacks the variety of texture and taste.
"unnatural" given that livestocks have been through centuries of selective breeding, given all the drugs, hormones and vaccines on them. Atleast with this they can culture wild animal meat.
it is manmade thus its not natural
she really said im not into lab made things -______________- bruh i got news 4 u

The end of animal suffering, no need to continue depleting the ocean of fish. These are wonderful goals. I'm on board.
yes, ending suffering by killing off the bovine species. real smart
(sarcasm)
The domestic bovine species were selectively bred, how are we going to kill animals such as buffalo as a result of not breeding lots of cows? Also, you used species wrong. The cow species is B. Taurus, Bovinae aka bovine is the Subfamily. Learn your terminology before calling people dumb.
Extended Terminology doesn't make you smart. The fact you don't see that is proof in itself you are dumb.
Animals will always suffer. If we don't kill them, a much more brutal end awaits them in the wild.
Yay, overpopulation.
This could solve world hunger.
@Buro Dackel wow. Really wow. Dude the WHOLE point of this is to stop abuse. Wth is wrong with you.
Lol world hunger no they need to solve world obesity . Cause they making everyone fat
@Alleyup1994USA if they weren't 3rd world countries they wouldn't have such high birth rates. so maybe instead of going straight to genocide we should try help them as best we can until they get on their feet
We all ready produce enough food to end world hunger. The problem is distributing to those who need it. And the buttloads of corruption in the governments with the starving populations.
Just like TRANSGENICS RIGHT? HAHA NOT GONNA HAPPEN
If I have a BILLION DOLLARS of Money, I WOULD DEFINITELY INVEST on THIS Technology!
It is VERY BENEFICIAL TO EARTH, ATMOSPHERE, LESS DEMAND OF RESOURCES, and of course END ANIMAL CRUELITY!
You forget to mention the part where you can also make billions of dollars with this once it really works at scale...
you re thinking and taking two steps backwards,
Its not natural to the body, its worst than eating meat.
@@marlonb2804 It's not worse than meat, it is meat. It's living and growing, but not sentient.
I don’t see any cons

Finally! Someone who's cool with the idea
I'm vegan and I support this all the way.
Clean meat benefits everyone.
Nigel Hunter, it’s still not any healthier. And unless your willing to eat cultured human flesh, it still just perpetuating speciesism. I agree minimizing harm is better than maximizing it, but Why get behind the second best thing when When your already doing the first?
I know what you mean but cultural indoctrination and social contracts dictate most of people's actions and opinions worldwide. Getting people globally to recognise speciesism and respect sentience in other creatures is a long term goal, but clean meat is the fastest, most realistic approach to end animal agriculture in the meantime.
How isn’t it any healthier.
James 4:8 It’s still the same flesh of an animal and contains the same chemical compounds and makeup of farmed flesh. So your still getting all that cholesterol, saturated fats, hormones, sodium, animal proteins and carcinogens.
except for you know, ranchers, farmers and cattle. especially cattle, who were unable to survive except for domestic breeds. no thx
If it is cheaper and taste good plus available in my country then i will add this to my daily meal to fullfill protien requirement .
I think it is really a good idea just start working on a big basis gymers and bodybuilder gonna love it .
Currently it is not cheaper, but the science behind in vitro cultured meat is still in its infancy. Hopefully in the future, it will be affordable.
thats why peanuts and beans exist
and cattle of course
@@garetclaborn food
@@beastlyboi996 yes indeed. those things are food. gold star bro
This is really good, it's grown the same way meat is grown in an animal. You take a cell and you duplicate it the only difference between lab grown meat and natural meat is that it wasn't grown in an animal that can feel and think.
But what about when they replicate wrong and cause cancer like it wont happen in 5 mins but they kinda need like a million samples
@@thechuckennoris5751 I don't understand the question. Do you mean make the wrong cell type or the wrong meat?
mastertank63
Cancer. some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are *not needed.* And what Sajed Khan means is that he thinks this can happen in lab meat.
@@mrjaquavis6444 Thanks for the Explination! You have a valid point so don't you think stuff like that would be checked? Plus it's duplication and they won't pick cancer cells to duplicate.
mastertank63
Yes. Cancer cells would be removed. Its much, much easier to remove cancer cells when they are not inside a body. But again, Sajed Khan ment: What if they replicate or do something wrong and accidentally make cancer cells or something.
Why is there even an 'Ick' factor? If the meat is safe, tastes good and has nice texture, then what's the problem?
If it helps the environment and will allow vegetarians and vegans to eat this 'clean meat', then why should anyone be against it?
Rabid vegans that cry because they can no longer push their diet and act morally superior to others.
You would not be vegan or vegetarian if you ate this tho. And I highly doubt most vegans would go back to eating meat.
I feel sorry for you that a vegan hurt you this much.
I feel sorry for you that you think making stupid assumptions will get you anywhere in life.

I'd definietly eat lab meat. Our phone addiction, our hairstyles, our foods (like junk food), and our desires to own more are all unnatural too. Like ppl talking crap about lab meat but still eat Pringles.
Humans are part of nature we alter it

We grow plants and vegetables artificially in areas outside of their natural ecosystems and seasons without any qualms - how is this any different?
History Kitchen because this is a completely different process with absolutely no relation to the process that once was in forming a body.
With veg and fruit we are providing the perfect growing environment with all the usual growth stages which leads to a similar final product. For instance we don't grow tomatoe paste?
Or we don't grow frozen chips or peas out of their pod.
Fake meat is radically different and a has massive amount of unknowns for the effects on our health and mental wellbeing.
@@rickknight3823 perhaps i just see it differently, but once it's ready I am all for it.
@@rickknight3823 Because antibiotic resistance due to huge usage of antibiotics on animals is less worrisome?
Also, there is the whole problem with ethics and animal cruelty and the fact that the factory farmed meat is a huge resource drain.
Basically lab grown meat is the future simply because of market economics.
Rick Knight, I feel like it would be healthier, as it would be grown in a sterilized environment and we could reduce fat in the meat, as we can control the cells we grow.
"That's unnatural!" ... As if the bacon, egg and cheese you had this morning was natural by any sense lol.

I can’t wait for this to be an every day commodity. I think though that the earlier we recognise the other ethical considerations of this transition, economic collapse of the farming sector and its livelihoods, cultural and historic shifts in food culture and traditions, the better prepared we’ll be do deal with their repercussions, and minimise resistance to the idea. I want a cruelty-free, carbon low/neutral steak, without homeless farmers.
Animal farmer would still be in the job since the labs would still need stem cell donors
0:34 cells are natural
I would totally eat it
We already eat so many crazy things that a cruelty free meat would be ok
Yea, I'm just hoping it becomes popular. It's a good choice for people who love meat but also want to be called animal lovers
This thing really gets me upset. I'm a chilled guy, but mannnnnn. The animals were intended to be killed and later we eat them. It's ok and not even cruel.
Livio Ramirez but then more are born, if we didnt control the population they would over populate
+ ターンマイヤープレストン
"but then more are born, if we didnt control the population they would over populate"
... Uh, no. We control the population already by having control over the breeding. Let the remaining livestock (which, yeah, is a huge amount of animals) have a nice life and let most of them not procreate. Done.
So in your terminology, since we need to control the population of animals, why don't we control the human population and have a purge every month since humans are so overpopulated that we are about to drive millions of species into extinction? I'm not even vegan and still your logic just baffles me
Oh sure, cause lab grown meat is TOTALLY more gross than eating an actual animal. If I had to choose I'd take the lab meat. At least you know where it's been.
Theodore Winston Yeah it is more gross, mainly because we have eaten animals for millennia and this is new. New is usually scary for people, let them adjust, you can't change in a day
it IS totally more gross than eating an animal, which is tasty
@Pygmy Rhino You're completely right. Even though I wish you weren't.
@@garetclaborn I bet it wouldn't be as gross if all the people had to actually slaughter the animals they eat ;)

No we aren't. Currently, the process to make in vitro cultured meat is too costly. However, the cost has been going down over the years, and perhaps in the near future, it will be cheap enough to be viable for commercial production. In 2013, it cost $330,000 to make a cultured burger. In 2018, a burger costs less than $1000 to make.

As a vegetarian...I would probably try this if was safe for public consumption
As long as its more sustainable and efficient than farming, im for it
The GMO corn, GMO soy and GMO canola oil is all farmed.. how is this "more efficent than farming"..? it is farming.. The best vegan burgers are made with organic butternut squash, almonds, seasalt, and oregano. Then it is pressed into a patty and dehydrated. You can use real produce to make real food. Real food is sustainable.. When you become dependent on the gov't for lab produced food, you become a slave to the gov't. Sustainable really means you can grow the food yourself..

If this was a thing would vegetarians still be vegetarians? Since they went vegetarian because of the animals but now they don't harm any animals
Depends on the person, everyone has a different reason to be a Vegetarian/Vegan, I'm a Vegetarian since 7 Years and I did it because I love animals and I don't need to eat animals to survive, I think lab grown meat is fantastic and I would be down to try it, but some people become Vegetarian or Vegan because they think it's healthier or for other reasons, so I think they still would be Vegetarian/Vegan when Lab-grown meat comes out, the real question is will there be a new group who only eats lab-grown meat?
Bud, vegetarians still cause harm by consuming dairy.
edji kiminowa there are still some that don’t consume that tho..
Daniel Clifford bud they might aswell be called vegan then.
Not really, what about eggs.
Can you do this with human meat to satisfy cannibals?
Possibly. Don't we already grow skin grafts?
yes, we can also grow something else to satisfy the thots ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
No, for that people would have to taste it in order to improve it and make it taste like human flesh. That's a problem because you'd also need a lot of people who know the taste of human meat.
You litterally went to a farmers market and are looking for objective oppinions on meats wtf is wrong with you go out to the street or something not to a farmers market
Yeah, farmers are probably the least likely people to be okay with lab meat since its basically a huge threat to their buisness
Jason Howard Oh lord have mercy. That was the point. They used the opinions of people who disagreed in order to use that as a transition to talk about the actual process of lab grown meat.
Radioactive Turtle You don't think other greedy corporations have an interest in lab grown fake meat?
All sides are about the profit, wake up. Especially big faceless corporations keen to upscale fake meat production who will then lobby government to stop real meat production.
Natural is always better then fake. Fake leads to disease and degradation.
Controlling what we eat won't stop there... it begins to become an Orwellian nightmare!
Wake the FU! !
wh... what?
I litterally never said nobody is interested in lab grown meat, just that farmers wouldn't like it because they sell natural meats and lab grown meat would be competition.
Oh, and if natural is better than why do we use things like soap or alloys? You don't find fire in nature so why do we cook food? Why don't we drink "pure" unfiltered water? Because we aren't cavepeople.
@@radiocaster2k Actually some of the smart ones are already investing in clean meat themselves. Is a good business move.

For many, if an animal didn't get tortured and/or killed for their meal, "it doesn't seem right" ...
This is just false. Many? Yeah right. The vast majority of people support lab grown meat, just look at the comments and like ratio on this video
It's not that people want animals to be killed for their meat, it's that they don't care about the animals.

The guy keeps going on "it tastes amazing", "this is remarkable"
Why are they so scared to let someone else try? I get safety issues, but a small bite will NOT kill someone. I'm pretty sure it doesn't taste right and they want to hide that, until they make it better

Mauricio Rodriguez are you 4? xD
"People with get used to clean meat in a hurry if it taste right, if it feels right". are #$%#&$ kidding me?
I love the taste of meat. But the fact I'm actually eating a dead being, that have being killed just for me to eat something pleasant in taste when I don't need it physically, it gross me out, that's why I'm vegetarian. So I'm pretty exited to see this becoming a thing in the next years. If I can afford it, I will definitely do it.
@Ethan Steel Well yes, thank you very much for the information. So what ?
I don't need meat to live, I, however, need plants, grains and other nutrients that I can only found in plants. I'm not, and don't have to, be grossed out by the fact that I'm eating plants, because I need to.
Carnivorous need meat to live, so they CAN'T be vegetarian. Human are omnivorous. Means : we CAN eat meat, but we DON'T need to. However, we NEED plants. Moron.
the main issue I have with this is how commercially cheap can it be...I'm pretty sure just to create a 10 gram of meat is time consuming, factoring with the cost of the operation and the people who tend to it daily...
It will not be cheap...at least not until they can manufacture it automatically
People like me will be fine with turning "vegan" as soon as there is a way they can eat meat once a month, even if they have to pay $50 for a burger, or more.
Honestly I think soy meat (or whatever) might be a more practical option. I eat meat daily, but there is a local vegan place that does fake meat burgers that are cheap and I can't tell the difference. Lab grown meat might just be a gimmic.
Not a problem. As soon as people figure out how to do something at all it's only a matter of time before they figure out how to do it quickly and cheaply.
Livio Ramirez no ones eating a burger because they want to be healthy...also would like to point out that although meat is a source of protein and other nutrients and beneficial bacteria meat is no where near the best source of those components.
Right now ‘clean meat’ is in the test stages but once they have smoothed out the rough edges. Like figuring out what works and what doesn’t Im sure they can mass manufacture a lot of cells at the right conditions which a factory or the industry can perfect, but which would be too impractical for a lab. Also I bet there are a variety of different catalysts that could be used while mass manufacturing this meat to make the process much more faster and efficient which would reduce the cost.
Let’s see what we will eat in the future
nothing really as there will be no food
Antoine le maybe we'll photosynthesise and only eat food for pleasure.
Kuka Weber different flavored nutritional pastes 😅

I think this meat looks fine, it basically looks like ground beef. You could prolly replace hamburger meat with this and nobody would ever know. Idk how many animals you could save just by doing that, but prolly a lot
Lab grown meat in market can be a game changer in many ways. Of course it wouldn't replace all the existing farmed meat (that would be bad)
The creation of man made flesh makes me think about hyper realistic robots with actual human-like flesh. Idk how I feel about that.
I would love this to be a thing, because I like meat but I really hate animal cruelty just to get cheap food.
eating beef prevents the extinction of cattle. cattle, chickens and many other herd animals have special instincts for when they are being eaten in the wild which mitigate trauma. there is nothing cruel about taking part in their species' survival strategy
@@garetclaborn I mean sure we are making them not go extinct but just take a look at how those animals are kept. Killing animals for food is not the peoblem, it's keeping them at such conditions
i do look at how their conditions are. that's an individual thing not an animal thing. my cows are quite happy thx. even crappy farm conditions tend to be better than getting picked off by a wolf at 8 months old and having your limbs torn off
Where I live at a university they’re researching eating crickets instead of beef pork etc because it used less resources and space

Compared to meat? Probably the same at first, they might be able to reduce cholesterol, saturated fats and potential carcinogens in the future.
it's probably about as nutritious as any meat because it literally is meat
probably much more nutritious when it becomes more mainstream in the future, if people make the smart choice and invest in it. Better than eating pigs which can easily give you tape worm, or meat that you don't know how the animals were treated or fed.

Time will come when regular meat will be called organic meat and sell like a healthy option.
Felipexp Lol, if only you only knew the crap cows, pigs and chicken eat in the farms. Lab grown meat will be the healthiest option soon.
izybit izybit let's not forget pesticides and steroids, hormones, antibiotics injected directly into the living animal's tissue. And then, in order to be preserved, the meat is being soaked in chlorine. Enjoy your organic meal!!!
Yeah but he is right, it will be MARKETED as healthier..
Source?
Captinprocat yeah they are completely ignorant about types of meats and also those chemicals are really insignificant amounts so they don't really affect you at all...
The real problem is when people push that it's artificial. It's the counter marketing that clean meat people have to compete against. They have to find good way to market that counter marketing groups won't be able to beat out. People will get over the "Eww gross" really fast the moment people are given a product that tastes just like the meats they love.
Yeah, I can imagine people getting over it quickly once it's out, unless someone holds some very antiprogress kind of views
@@Food5Thought There is always someone or a group that will appose anything that's new.
@@FurlowT Yeah, you're right, that's true
The "unnatural" argument is dumb. As if phones, modern medicine, etc etc etc.... were natural in the first place.
This is actually a great idea we could have this as a replacement for 90 percent of meat. And then on land that cant be used for growing crops or built on on could have ethical higher quality livestock and price this meat at a higher cost. Thus making factory farms a thing of the past. But this would need to introduced slowly to make sure we do not waste current livestock.
Hey, if it tastes good, isnt bad for you or can affect your health in the long term, is cheaper, and has the same nutritional value as regular meat, I'm all for it.
Don't forget all the farmers that will lose their job and farms. Also the animals that will go extinct without the need for them
Jobs are not as important as our future and they probably wont becasue real meat will be something for the rich
>It's not natural
>Is wearing earbuds
I mean, okay
ah yes i love having a nice pair of boiled earbuds for breakfast
Considering typical, cheaply made chicken nuggets generally already look and taste like ambiguous meat matter, I feel like as long as it's cheap the consumer won't really care if the meat has a perfect structure. Getting it to be cheap is a big hurdle though.
It would be insane but it’s starting to look like what you see in futuristic movies. Even cartoons like the Jetsons. Wow!
I wonder how it tastes
Well if it's food I'm eating it
Wooh hopefully I live long enough for it to come out
People have no idea how much this could change the world. Lab grown meat would eliminate the waste produced by cows which is more polluting than the entirety of fossil fuel transportation. And this is not even getting into the deforestation to get land to grow food for the animals, or the CO2 emissions due to transporting all those animals and meat around. This is a crucial key to guarantee our success in this planet

@Buro Dackel medicines? collagen cocktails? food dyers? any nutritional supplements with E-code... You eat it every day, dude
Why zero mentioning of the Impossible Foods though? (except for the end card, ofc)
Seems like they should go in the same sentence with Just & others. After all, they made a burger that people could taste.
Roman Lyubenko
Impossible Burgers aren’t actually made up of meat, but different plants and spices. This documentary was about lab-grown meat.
Phm07 thanks a lot for the clarification.
At the end there's a thumbnail to their video about them.
neoqueto Thanks, I noticed that (see my reference to the end card).
That's just an attempt to make a vegetarian burger that actually tastes like a real burger for once. Which is kind of impossible, because no matter what you do it's still not made of beef.
I’m sure they’ll get there, because scientific advances in new fields happens exponentially fast. It’s amazing to think the first lab-grown meat patty was sold in 2013.
4:50 faux gras isn't illegal in california anymore btw, they lifted the ban
I say we use human blood to produce it. It'll be more tasty.
Cats4catnip how do you know
That bit of information is not important. We should just do it and let me eat it.
human blood might not have the right nutrients...
then you'd have substantially high risk of prion disease if people ate it regularly
no soylent green for me thx
Cats4catnip I love your name lol
It's not past for public consumption, but ceo: it's very good man.
Noplay this made me trust them? It shows that they genuinely do care for human health too.
it hasn't been passed for consumption because the FDA has never really come across lab grown meat before so they have no idea what to even look for when deciding if its safe for public consumption
Yeah lol I thought that was kinda weird
I mean the ceo can't legally let others eat it but hes confident in it so he eats it no problem
if this gets big the meat market and all the people getting rich off the meat production are going to go wild
I think it will succeed if it has the right taste, texture, isn't to expensive, has no negative health effects/ has health benefits and is easily available.
I'm hopeful that it will do all of these someday.
as a vegan im waiting for this to become a real thing so i can eat meat without harming animals c:
I'm a simple guy, I see PETA, and I skip that segment.
That initial “yuck” factor is just d/t the way we have been socialized. We don’t think twice about blue foods & drinks even though they are not naturally occurring-we have been socialized to accept them.
Love how they wouldn't let him try it.
