Yes, THIS DOD is trying to force lab grown meat on soldiers.
They already know reducing co2 is bs, so why the push? Money. Civilians are not adopting it and the green machine demands MOAR money.
"UC Davis published a report last year suggesting that "lab-grown meat’s carbon footprint [is] potentially worse than retail beef."
"If companies are having to purify growth media to pharmaceutical levels, it uses more resources, which then increases global warming potential," said lead author, Derrick Risner of the college's Department of Food Science and Technology. "If this product continues to be produced using the ‘pharma’ approach, it’s going to be worse for the environment and more expensive than conventional beef production."
"Our findings suggest that cultured meat is not inherently better for the environment than conventional beef. It’s not a panacea," said corresponding author Edward Spang, an associate professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology. "It’s possible we could reduce its environmental impact in the future, but it will require significant technical advancement to simultaneously increase the performance and decrease the cost of the cell culture media."
