    This talk of cultivated meat reminds me of the classic Solyent Green. Premise of the movie is world population has swelled to 70 billion people and the environment is ravaged so people live in domed cities subsisting on a algae based food product called solyent green. Well old Charleton Heston can’t figure where all the dead people go and finds out solyent green has an extra ingredient.
    I’m sure cultured meat will makes its debut like beyond meat and the likes, and there will be those who buy it for whatever reason. However, with declines in cattle numbers worldwide I don’t foresee a glut of beef anytime soon. As far as environmental impact of beef cattle it’s a wash as their ability to convert inedible products into a perfect protein plus provide so many other products without additional carbon footprint of manufacturing I think is their advantage. Without a livestock industry to make use of what we can’t eat, and waste products from biofuel production, there would be a grande scale void in the agricultural production paradigm. It’s like how at one time how canola that was too green or even heated was virtually useless and for the pit. Today that stuff has uses. Heck the meal was waste but today it’s fed to livestock as a protein source. Isn’t this efficiency as opposed to no livestock and throwing out everything?

      Good article exposing yet again the socialist U.N., but I didn't realize Liberal cabinet ministers were shoveling for the U.N. back in 1998 when Environment Minister Christine Stewart told Calgary Herald reporters that, " no matter if the science of global warming is all phony . . . . . . .climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality to the world ".
