I wouldn’t want synthetic meat unless there are strict quality standards in place
Comment on Italy bans cultivated meat products
DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 6 months agoLab-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.

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.

I imagine this must be an interesting topic in India, with a large population viewing the cow as a sacred animal. How would artificially grown beef play into that? Would it still be a sacred cow at that point? I am curious to know!

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.
