A Pentagon-funded company is seeking proposals to feed America’s soldiers lab-grown meat in a bid to "reduce the CO2 footprint" at Defense Department outposts.
 
BioMADE, a public-private company that has received more than $500 million in funding from the Defense Department, announced earlier this month that it is seeking proposals to develop "innovations in food production that reduce the CO2 footprint of food production at ... DoD operational environments," according to an online announcement.

These include "novel cell culture methods suitable for the production of cultivated meat/protein," or lab-grown meat, a product that is still in its experimental phases. This type of meat is grown in a lab from animal cells with the aid of other chemicals, and has emerged as a flashpoint in debates about the efficacy and morality of manufacturing meat products without slaughtering animals.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Are there any long term, credible, studies to see how humans might react to long term consumption of artificial food?  Probably not and the military isn't the place to do the study. :nono:

And would the VA cover any medical problems arising later from the forced intake of such fake foods?

While their horses Eat Dirt

In February of 2022, two horses had to be euthanized due to colon impaction.  An internal investigation was ordered, which revealed poor quality hay and feed; too many horses grazing on undersized, grazed lots leading to consumption of sediment and increased parasites...

Using U.S. service members for human experiments is not cool.

How much energy is consumed to create and maintain the lab environment necessary to "grow" faux meat?

Are they just trading one set of inputs/outputs for another set of inputs/outputs?
