RE: Cultured Meat - The Cow's Prayer Answered

in #life8 years ago

I've been in line with your thinking for a while and I see the cultured meat industry as one of the biggest potentials for exponential growth in market size in the next couple of decades. It will of course be met with incredible opposition by the corporate agriculture lobby as well as by the petrochemical lobby since traditional farming methods will be completely disrupted by the cultured meat industry. Not only will consumers not be needing to buy meat from traditional farming methods, the crops used to feed the livestock and the associated chemicals used on the live stock will not be needed as well as the fertilizer/insecticides that is used on the crops grown for livestock consumption. I would imagine Bayer/Monsanto will be the biggest roadblock to the growth of the cultured meat industry.

I wholeheartedly agree. I think there will definitely be opposition but I also think its a going to end up being a freight train that cannot be stopped. I think with how fast information (and thus education about new stuff) can get out there today to the general population corporations don't have as much power to subdue stuff like this, although for the moment they are certainly still fairly powerful.
