Rather disappointing.
I’d be in favor of a law requiring the labeling of such products, but this seems to overreach; especially when applied to animal feed.
Successful lobbying by the meat industry, absolutely not in the public’s best interest. Disgusting, really.
The proposal [prohibits] the use, sale, import and export of food and feed “from cell cultures or tissue derived from vertebrate animals”.
Am I missing something, is it a translation issue, or did they just ban meat?
That’s what you could argue, yes.
Since you can’t get any “tissue” without deriving it from an animal.
Which would be the funnier solution… Well if you scientists and farmers can’t get along, nobody gets meat! Good news everyone! You’re all vegetarians now!
Well invertebratarians anyway. Calamari’s still on the menu!
It’s a translation issue. “Derivanti” in Italian is translated as “derived”, but the Italian word implies a new type of tissue and the English word does not.
Why?
Protecting industries who prefer to complain rather than actually evolve with the times
🤦🏻♂️
Downvote if you want but at least educate me on why I’m wrong on facepalming. I’m serious. I love a good discussion.
I think people are downvoting because a simple facepalm emoji is considered a low effort comment. If there’s no substance to your comment, better not to comment at all.
Fair point. My intent was to encourage discussion and it was my mistake that an emoji would facilitate more discussion. Lesson learned 🤦🏻♂️
Or you could educate us on why you’re face-palming. Use your words.
Okay. My point is that methane (from cow farts) is a significant source of greenhouse gasses. If we can get high quality food without ruining the planet or the enjoyment of food then why shouldn’t we go for it?
?
We’ve been evolving with the times for quite a while. Maybe change for the sake of change isn’t exactly the right thing either.
Lab grown food, sold to you by the same system who sold you intensive farming.
How is lab grown meat change for the sake of change? There’s obvious benefits to it: no more need to breed beings just to eat them, less resource-intensive, frees up land, and I might be missing others
Is it really sustainable ? I’m just not sure it’s a viable alternative to eating less meat and farming with sustainable and regenerative practices.
Thank God Italians will be protected from making their own choices about it.
Bologne.
Ridiculous…
che enormi teste di cazzo
Mamma mia!
