Cultured, cow free dairy is likely to beat cultured meat to market

The continued effort towards lab grown foods is a pushback against current agricultural methods and their carbon free footprint.  But given the technology, we’re likely to buy lab grown milk and cheese before lab grown steaks.

I mean, what is the cloned shit we eat now other than lab grown meat...

But I get it....this almost completely eliminates the cow as a need for dairy, so give it a bit....the FDA will be cool with it

The only brown milk I’m drinking is chocolate

…Damn typos.

Chocolate milk should also be easy to make in the lab.

How do you grow milk?

Recreate the conditions to produce it in a cow the old fashioned way in a lab, only with less cow farts and grazing.

I'll stick with coconut milk and almond milk if I want dairy-free milk. But y'all can have at it.

To be fair, dairy free substitutes for the lactose intolerant will likely be a thing even if this replaces cow based dairy just because of the health issues.  Although like cultured meat, I wonder how that would affect people who refuse meat and dairy for ethical reasons, when it being raised in a lab means no cruelty.

......it already is. I think I'm not following you, because this is still dairy yet created in a lab...why would I need lab based non dairy when there's several natural options available.

I was just responding to the discussion in the thread. *shrugs*

And yeah, lab grown dairy sounds weird as hell. But if it tastes like the real thing, sure.

I think he thinks that if it's lab-milk, it might naturally lack the lactose that some people have issues with since it's not coming from an animal. Which would be an interesting side-effect. It would be a 'real' milk that both vegans and lactose intolerant can drink.

Ok, see the link in the OP has a sub-wall and I'm not subbing to shit, so I could only read like the first 3 sections of the article....But I found another and now I see that this lab milk will not have lactose, which is really cool....But my body has an aversion to yeast after the years of drinking so now sure how my body might react to this.

The article is from 2021 though, so I can't be for sure if this is the same study, but if it was sans lactose in 21, then I'll assume they did not "add" it back.

Is beating cultured meat when you put a top hat and monocle on it before you start?
