Is this why Tyson closed? Looks like they are ready to prodcue a diferent type of food. With the help of Bill Gates!


Memphis Meats, a Berkeley, Calif.-based startup, says it's one step closer to bringing cell-based meat to consumers' mouths.
The company plans to build a pilot production facility with funds raised from high-profile investors including Bill Gates, Richard Branson and Kimbal Musk, as well as two giant players in the animal protein and feed space, Cargill and Tyson Foods. The company says its latest funding round has brought in $161 million in new investment.

"People thought this was all science fiction" when the company was founded back in 2015, Uma Valeti, the co-founder and CEO of Memphis Meats, told NPR in an interview at the company's headquarters. "Everything that we've done at Memphis Meats [has] started to show that this can be done," Valeti said. "This is real."

Interest in cell-based meat production and other meat alternatives has increased amid growing awareness of the environmental impact of traditional livestock agriculture.

Valeti and his team walked us through the process of producing cell-based meat. It starts with the selection of specific types of animal cells that can grow to become meat. Next, the cells are fed and put in a "cultivator" — similar to a fermenting tank — where they can grow and form muscle and connective tissue. The process is analogous to the way breweries grow yeast cells to produce beer. Only here, they're growing animal cells.

I got the chance to sample Memphis Meats' chicken, which was pan-sautéed with some oil and served with greens. It tasted pretty close to chicken breast produced the traditional way — but without as much textural variation among bits of muscle, fat and connective tissue. The pilot production facility, which is expected to be built in the next 18 to 24 months, will allow the company to scale up and experiment with its meat products, which also include duck and beef.

But Memphis Meats and its competitors face quite a few hurdles in bringing cell-based meats to market. For starters, the cost of production needs to come down. Back in 2018, Wired reported that a pound of Memphis Meats takes $2,400 to produce, in part because of the expensive growth mediums — or feed — needed to culture cells.

"Our costs have continued to come down significantly over the last three years," Valeti told us in an email Wednesday. "We have a clear path to bringing a cost competitive product to market as we scale our production and that's part of what our latest funding round will help us to unlock," Valeti said. He said the company will continue to work on developing low-cost feed for the cells, which is one significant piece of the puzzle.

Decisions over how best to label, regulate and inspect cell-based meats are another challenge. In late 2018, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that the two agencies would share regulatory oversight, but there are still many issues to resolve.

"The agencies have outlined a path to market, Valeti said, "and we will continue providing them with the information they need to fill in the details."

Memphis Meats has plenty of competitors in the space, and some of them are seeking regulatory approval outside the United States. As of last year, there were 27 cell-based meat and seafood companies around the world, according to the Good Food Institute. These include Just Foods, which is developing wagyu beef using cells from prized cows. In addition, several companies are aiming to produce cell-based fish products.

[From Ann The last article she mentions is the one I have posted above.]

Bill Gates is partnered with Al Gore and Jack Ma on a fake meat company to replace the cattle, pork and poultry industries, hence the engineered collapse of all slaughter plants and the meat industry in North America
Just when you think this evil SOB Gates has maxed-out his card with the Bank of Hell, there’s more. It is clear that Gates has been pre-positioning himself to benefit and control damn-near every aspect of life for years in anticipation of this totally fake “plandemic”.

The company is called NATURE’S FYND.

What is the government doing about this?

This seems like a huge Capitalism fail to me. What is broken with the system?

Did you read that key part? They are destroying livestock and prices are collapsing for slaughter animals, even as grocery store prices are rising! Does that make a lick of sense to anyone here?

What kind of clown world system are we in?

It's hard to refute the Communists when crap like this is going on in Capitalist USA. I thought "The Profit Motive" made industry most efficient, made it work well, etc.?

If I weren't a hard-core anti-Communist for religious reasons, I would sure be tempted to think that a State takeover of all farms, processing plants, warehouses, storage facilities, and grocery stores would be for the betterment of mankind. Think of all the starving people in America and elsewhere, as these farmers literally plough recently "euthanized" pigs into the ground -- right next to the hundreds of gallons of milk they just dumped!

Maybe the problem is everyone is so lazy, they are only fit for (and ripe for) a Communist government, which is what we're going to get. In the 1950's you'd have guys buying up these hogs, starting businesses, slaughtering and selling them, etc.

Today, the young people who SHOULD have the most energy, drive, and motivation are millennials and zoomers sitting at home in front of various screens, complaining there are no good jobs. We're screwed.
This is precisely where a universal draft, all men --- and women --- of a certain age (women want "equality", let's give 'em "equality"!) would come in handy.  A crash course in Meatpacking 101, then off to the processing plants.  And some could end up learning a useful trade.  Ditto for farming in general.
