Legislators there and in several other states want to restrict the manufacture or sale of meat made in a laboratory, even though it barely exists. The space industry disagrees.
Lab grown meat.
It sounds like a plotline from a sci-fi movie about test-tube chicken fingers, but it’s a real thing.
Start-up companies around the world are competing to develop technologies for producing chicken, beef, salmon and other options without the need to raise and slaughter animals. China has made the development of the industry a priority. In the United States, the Department of Agriculture has given initial blessings to two producers.
Now, a measure in Florida that would ban sales of laboratory-grown meat has gained widespread attention beyond state borders. The bill, which is advancing through the Florida Legislature, would make the sale or manufacture of lab-grown meat a misdemeanor with a fine of $1,000. It’s one of a half-dozen similar measures in Arizona, Tennessee, West Virginia and elsewhere.
Opponents of lab-grown meat include beef and poultry associations worried that laboratory-made hamburgers or chicken nuggets could cut into their business.
Ok is this actually a thing or is everyone just meming on how hotdogs are the sandwhiches of meat where you can basically just use whatever you want.
There’s some home recipes you can go for and it’s some pretty dope stuff, from what I’ve seen ground beef and pork are the two biggest bases for “how the sausage gets made”
This is actually a thing. The cheapest hot dogs are basically (but hopefully not literally anymore) compromised of the meat that was left on the floor after processing cows, pigs, etc. It’s been a trope for a long time that they just sweep up the floor and turn it into hot dogs.
The above said there are really good brands out there like Nathan’s and some others that are all beef and not from “the floor”. If you have a Costco membership you probably know about their Kirkland dogs, those are huge and really good.
