late Posted June 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2019 " Most of the meat people eat in 2040 will not come from slaughtered animals, according to a report that predicts 60% will be either grown in vats or replaced by plant-based products that look and taste like meat... Other companies are working on growing meat cells in culture, to produce real meat without needing to raise and kill animals. No such products have yet reached consumers, but AT Kearney predicts cultured meat will dominate in the long term because it reproduces the taste and feel of conventional meat more closely than plant-based alternatives." In The Expanse, most have no problem with meat. But the cost of hauling meat up from Earth to the outer reaches of the Solar System prices it out of the reach of most. Even if you have the dough to afford it, it's a rare treat. And if you did have the dough to get it regularly, you'd prob want to move to Earth, where you wouldn't be living in a tin can. Even after it becomes commercially available, it will prob take years to perfect the process. In any case, I try shit compulsively, I want to try it. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/12/most-meat-in-2040-will-not-come-from-slaughtered-animals-report 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying cars is a few orders of magnitude harder than making meat in a factory. Yes, it will take a while, and cost will be one of the big reasons people use it. But it is coming..

That will happen if we basically wipe out natural ecologies, so we can't grow stuff. The population is going to run into hard limits, and that's going to reduce the population dramatically. 2 or 3 billion depend on water melting off the himalayas, but that icepack is disappearing, as are most glaciers. Most of that region won't have the money for uber-expensive water projects. So...bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted June 13, 2019 Share #32 Posted June 13, 2019 Meat with no legs has to scare the crap out of a Texan? That's worse that chili with no beans. So do that take the bones out of Soylent Green and if so do they make people bonemeal for the garden? AND if meat has no legs what in the heck are they going to use to make glue? Big tobacco, big oil and now big non-meat meat. I can't take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share #34 Posted June 13, 2019 The thing is, an ecology is a natural recycling process. Soylent green would be a mechanical recycling process. Same thing, smaller circle of life. Much smaller.. If we ever build colonies offplanet, they will have to recycle. In The Expanse they genetically modify fungus and mushrooms and such to create the basic food stock which they then turn into imitations of meat or fish. Not always, a lot of Belter food doesn't imitate, it just spices the stuff (cheaper). So what you breathe, drink and eat, was not long ago blood and piss and somebody else's air.
