The Debate Over Lab-Grown Meat

 As Big Food corporations and billionaire psychopaths like Bill Gates turn the propaganda generator up to eleven to boost their efforts to force lab grown mean, synthetic dairy products made by cooking up chemicals in a laboratory and foods derived from genetically modified plants on the world at large, a major debate is brewing due to concerns about meat and dairy substitutes manufactured in chemical laboratories justified?

The narrative being spun by government, academia and business through their media subsidiaries assures us that yes, of course they are, because The Science. And of course we must accept that The Science is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniescent and may not be challenged

This should prompt us all to be extremely sceptical and ask ourselves:

Were Covid vaccines shown to be unsafe and 100%  ineffective by 2023?
Has the Acrtic ice cap been completely absent since 2010, having melted because of global warming?
Were low fat, plant based butter substitutes less healthy than dairy butter?
Do Ursine species defectate in arboreal settings?

The answers are: Yes, yes, yes, and 'Is the Pope catholic.' So much for the infallibility of The Science
FFS, why are we arguing about any of this?

On 1 May, 2024 Ron DeSantis, state governor of Florida, USA, announced that the sale of cultured meat grown from animal stem cells in a laboratory has now been banned in the state.

 “While the World Economic Forum is telling the world to forgo meat consumption,” he explained, “Florida is increasing meat production, and encouraging residents to continue to consume and enjoy 100% real Florida beef.” 

John Fetterman, the junior senator for Pennsylvania and a Democrat, endorsed the move the following day. “[It p]ains me deeply to agree with Crash-and-Burn Ron, but I co-sign this. As a member of @SenateAgDems and as some dude who would never serve that slop to my kids, I stand with our American ranchers and farmers.” 

Alabama, Arizona, and New Hampshire are also considering banning lab-grown meat in response to a host of concerns: that consuming it is bad for human health, that its availability will cause economic hardship by driving farmers out of business, that the promotion of lab-grown meat is part of an international plot, and that there’s something dystopian about the entire idea. In what follows, I will examine these objections one by one.

Meanwhile in Europe the jury is still out of lab grown meat, as worshippers of The Science continue to argue that anything natural is harmful to human heath. The health concerns surrounding lab-grown meat are misplaced, they argue. Scientists have conducted a thorough review and after feeding fake meat and fake cheese to mice concluded that as no humans died during the experiment lab-grown meat is safe for human consumption. In fact, they claim, it may be a healthier alternative because it can be customised to make it more nutritious with more protein and less fat than the ultra processed and hence more profitable foods sold in supermarkets. It also doesn’t require the administration of animal hormones and antibiotics to livestock, a farming practice that can be deleterious to human health.

So having allowed scientists to fuck up most of the food we eat with added toxic shite we are now being told to abandon these unhealthy foods and instead eat stuff made entirely of toxic shite instead of returning to the foods provided by nature which our bodies have evolved over millions of years to live healthily on.

The propaganda goes on. A 2023 study in Singapore found that:

Experts considered cultured meat to have benefits for individuals’ health. They pointed out that it would be possible to improve cultured meat with certain bio-nutrients, thereby making it healthier or more nutritious. Another expert shared his perspective on the personal health benefits of cultured meat, stating that it could help address the challenge of obtaining sufficient protein in his diet and improve his overall well-being. Additionally, experts highlighted that cultured meat could mitigate traditional risks associated with conventional meat, such as pesticide exposure, thus contributing to better personal health outcomes.

The authors recommend better communication (i.e. more propaganda lies,) to alleviate concerns and to dispel widespread misconceptions about the dangers of cultured meat to human health.

Personal freedom campaigners argue that even if propaganda supportig chemical slop based foods does not persuade sceptical consumers to buy it, that is not a good reason to ban lab-grown meat ad dairy outright. Informed consumers should be allowed to make their own choices, and those who are satisfied that it is safe should be allowed to eat it.

Cigarettes, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, confectionary, and fast food all pose risks to the health of consumers, but we are permitted to weigh the costs and benefits for ourselves. The risks to human health posed by lab-grown meat are thought to be very low, so the case for banning it on health grounds is weak.

Boggart Blog and its side publications are totally committed to arguing for individual freedom, and we would support the right of people to buy whatever toxic shite they fancy, so long as they have been fully informed of any risk. And as we have seen so many times, big business and the academics, politicians and media people on their payroll cannot be relied on to tell the truth when corporate profits (and by extension bungs, incentives and kickbaks,) may be affected

Mention eugenics and the idiotic screechers of the left will start going on about Naziism, although the science of Eugenics would not be a bad idea if scientists, businesses and politicians could be trusted with such power. Power however always tempts the holder to abuse it, and the power to create a master raceby genetic modification of human DNA cannot be entristed to three professions that have always been deficient in ethical awareness.

Could 'DNA editing' lead to designer babies? Designer babies, human / animal hybrids, these things have been in wet dream territory for scientists for a long time. But now due to techniques such as DNA editing, they are getting worryingly close to reality. And as has been demonstrated many times, scientists have zero uderstanding of where the ethical boundaries lie.

Arrogance, Intolerance, Snobbishness and Corrupt, Self Interested Practices. It's modern science. The world sems to be waking up the the fact that while in the past scientists tended to be rather detached, slightly obsessive people not driven by material goals, the modern science academy has been very largely corrupted by political patronage and corporate money. The academic field of climate science it especially notable for this.

New Physics Theory Proposes Time Is Disappearing From Our Universe.
I have never understood why we invest so much money in theoretical physics, which basically means blokes with pointy heads sitting around having intellectual wanks as they dream up constantly whackier theories to explain how our universe works. One idea they cling to fondly which I find crazy, is that time is somehow material than can be stretched, compressed, kicked around like a football and made to disappear.

Virtual ID has arrived – why you should resist taking it up
We told you some years ago when our publication appeared under a different name that the then Labour Government's plan for compulsory electronic ID cards was the step that would take us over the line from a seblance of liberal democracy into oligarchic fascism. Labour's plan was derailed by public opposition but now it has been rehashed and is presented with fluffy window dressing. A vote for Labour, Conservative Or Liberal Democrat is a vote for fascism. You have been warned.
