Review of the paper Environmental impacts of cultured meat: A cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment

For many years I have had an appreciable mistrust of anything the government bureaucrats and their associated buddies have tried to push on us, The covid related events of the last 3 years have confirmed and increased my mistrust of the government technocrats and friends or is that fiends.
When I first heard of cultured meat it made my skin crawl, I vowed to avoid it when ever possible. As the fake meat was primarily used in the fast food chains and eating at one has not been an option for years, I feel I have safely avoided the fake meat so far but was concerned it would show up on my plate at sometime.
So business magazine have reported the fake meat or as the industry seems to prefer animal cell-based meat (ACBM) or cultured meat did not seem to have widespread consumer acceptance. ACBMs were being promoted as an environmentally conscious way of producing meat, a a way to reduce the amount of CO2 being produced. The paper: Environmental impacts of cultured meat: A cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.21.537778v1.full from bioRxiv notes “The results indicate that the environmental impact of near-term ACBM production is likely to be orders of magnitude higher than median beef production” Hopefully the paper will ultimately serve as a nail in the coffin of fake meat production.
