Lab Grown Meat Industry Demands Public Subsidy Because No One’s Buying It.

Lab Grown Meat Industry Demands Public Subsidy Because No One’s Buying It.

The laboratory-grown “meat” industry faces significant challenges securing the funding necessary to sustain itself. Industry experts claim they need substantial government assistance to survive; with various sectors within agrifood tech seeing a steep decline in investments since early 2022, and private capital for lab meat almost vanishing.According to preliminary data from AgFunder, funding in the lab meat sector peaked at $989 million in 2021, decreased to $807 million in 2022, and then sharply dropped by 78 percent to just $177 million in 2023.
 
The decline in funding has prompted many startups to reduce staff, consolidate operations, or, in some cases, cease operations altogether.Robert Jones, Vice President of Global Public Affairs at Mosa Meat, warns that “[t]here’s a valley of death we’re not going to cross as an industry without a massive infusion of public investment”—referencing the €60 million ($66 million) allocated by the Dutch government in 2022 as a model.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

No.  Let a rich Global Climate Change elitist kleptokratic oligarch invest in your private enterprise.

No more corporate welfare for unprofitable Global Climate Change nonsense.

I'd rather catch a squirrel and eat it than eat lab-grown fake meat.

I somewhat worry about the injections, etc... that they put into "natural" meat. I would be really concerned about what they put into "lab" grown meat.

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.

People who thought lab-grown "meat" was a great investment should have a court-appointed conservator.

The kleptokrats won't invest.  The point of the story is that NOW they're going to US for funding.

I'd take my chances with eating Spam first before I ate any crappola lab grown and concocted by evil Gates and Bezos.

Me too! I had squirrel (fried of course) in my youth. It wasn't bad as I recall. This lab grown stuff :shrug: who knows what's in it.

Spam & scrambled eggs, spam and mashed potatoes, spam and hashbrowns.  No, even though we were told as kids that it was ham; definitely not.  We only ate it a couple of times, but there's just no disguising the taste.  It's just nasty.

I've not had squirrel, but I've eaten rabbit a couple of times.  Indeed I'd eat rabbit over some kind of gunk grown in a lab.

Ingredients of Spam; Pork and ham, salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite. In comparison to who knows what kind of stuff grown in a petri dish that they'll pass on as meat; I'd eat it.

I've had rabbit as well. Not bad. I'm not a Spam fan...but I would eat that, rabbit or squirrel over lab grown.

No government payola/handouts!  It's pretty simple:  if your product isn't selling, improve the product, and market it properly.

Rabbit is good.

Agree with Kamaji. It's like the government won't even give the market an opportunity to decide.
