'These are problems that everyone wants to solve.”To date, Memphis Meats has raised $22 million, signaling a commitment to the “clean-meat movement,” the company said. '
'Cultured meats and conventionally produced meats will both play a role in meeting that demand.”The investment is just the most recent by traditional meat companies. '
'Memphis Meats, which produces beef, chicken and duck directly from animal cells without raising and slaughtering livestock or poultry, raised $17 million from investors including Cargill, Gates and billionaire Richard Branson, according to a statement Tuesday on the San Francisco-based startup’s website. '
'That’s happening through surging demand for organic products, increasing focus on food that’s considered sustainable and greater attention on animal treatment. '
'The fundraising round was led by venture-capital firm DFJ, which has previously backed several social-minded retail startups. '

Cargill Inc., one of the largest global agricultural companies, has joined Bill Gates and other business giants to invest in a nascent technology to make meat from self-producing animal cells amid rising consumer demand for protein that’s less reliant on feed, land and water.
Memphis Meats, which produces beef, chicken and duck directly from animal cells without raising and slaughtering livestock or poultry, raised $17 million from investors including Cargill, Gates and billionaire Richard Branson, according to a statement Tuesday on the San Francisco-based startup’s website. The fundraising round was led by venture-capital firm DFJ, which has previously backed several social-minded retail startups.
"I’m thrilled to have invested in Memphis Meats,” Branson said in an email in response to questions from Bloomberg News. “I believe that in 30 years or so we will no longer need to kill any animals and that all meat will either be clean or plant-based, taste the same and also be much healthier for everyone.”
This is a horrible idea, you know why fatties are so fucking fat? They've never had to kill & process their own meat, one's not enough either you've really got to do both to get the full effect. I've never met a person who's done that with any regularity who is fat.... It gives you a whole new respect & appreciation for food. But no, people are so far disconnected from their food, worse all the synthetic foods, all the added chemicals, straight fucking flavored shit........
No just make it easier for future Americans, and the globe, to totally lose all contact with reality on the concept of food.

Oh. That's right. They're into eugenics.
Need to ask them: What's on your table? Bet ya it's not GMO inedibles.
Just yesterday I ate seedless watermelon
and became nauseous. This has happened to me before. So I did some searching on the internet.
Seedless watermelon is genetically modified.
They have to engage an additional chromosome
to get it seedless.
Just read China buys more food items from Russia than USA because in Russia GMO is banned pretty much.
