Comment on Italy bans cultivated meat products

  Lab-grown meat is equated to synthetic ingredients and ultra-processed foods which are known to raise health problems (but are not banned, not all additives at least and not everywhere).

  Considering how politics goes these days, the producers of cultivated meat just hadn’t a grip on the ministry as strong as the farmer lobby. No ideological or public health reason whatsoever. And it’s not Italy, it’s just politics and business everywhere.

  Today it’s Italy’s turn, maybe tomorrow someone else will be on the hot seat.

    !and ultra-processed foods which are known to raise health problems!<

    The data on this are very dubious at best. Most researchers can’t even agree on a definition of what they are. Corelation studies should always be taken with a grain of salt.

    I wouldn’t want synthetic meat unless there are strict quality standards in place

      As “strict” as regular meat?

        Luckily I’m in India, not being a rich country means less packaged and more local choices. It’s not all bad.
