Cultured meat is a meat produced by in vitro cell cultures of animal cells. It is a form of cellular agriculture. Bill Gates has a huge investment in companies selling products based on these technologies, which might explain the constant pushing of it by corporate media[1][2][3]. Synthetic meat is allegedly good for the environment.
Bill Gates
In February 2021 Bill Gates predicted that:
I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.[4]
Gates happens to have significant investments in these technologies, owning shares in range of 'synthetic meat' startups including Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, Memphis Meats and Hampton Creek Food. He made the comments in an interview promoting his 2021 book ‘How to Avoid a Climate Disaster’.[5]
