Diana Rodgers, a registered dietitian and author, goes as far as to say she would rather eat her shoe than consume <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-gates-rich-countries-should-be-eating-100-synthetic-beef\/\" title=\"Bill Gates: Rich Countries Should Be Eating 100% Synthetic Beef\">lab-grown meat<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an interview with the New York Post, Rodgers emphasizes the importance of sticking to natural forms of meat and food, citing the unknowns associated with lab-grown meat. She even suggests that McDonald&#8217;s meat is a better option due to its higher vitamin content.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Unknowns of Lab-Grown Meat<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two California companies, Good Meat and Upside Foods, have received approval to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/usda-approves-sale-of-lab-grown-meat\/\" title=\"USDA Approves Sale Of \u2018Lab-Grown\u2019 Meat\">sell chicken created<\/a> from animal cells in the United States. However, Rodgers expresses concern about the lack of publicly-available nutritional information regarding lab-grown meat. When asked about its healthiness, she admits, &#8220;We just don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rodgers highlights the absence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-so-called-inflation-reduction-act-does-nothing-manchin-claims-it-does\/\" title=\"The So-Called \"Inflation Reduction Act\" Does Nothing Manchin Claims It Does\">life cycle assessments<\/a> and public data on the production of lab-grown meat. This lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-target-cable-providers-for-carrying-fox-newsmax-oann\/\" title=\"Democrats Target Cable Providers for Carrying Fox, Newsmax, OANN\">information raises questions<\/a> about its nutritional value and overall impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Lab-Grown Meat vs. Traditional Meat<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Good Meat, their lab-grown meat is made from chicken cells, salt, soy, and wheat. However, they were unable to provide a nutritional label as the product is currently only available in restaurants. Upside Foods claims that their lab-grown meat is real meat that can be digested in the same way as traditional meat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rodgers argues that lab-grown meat is not equivalent to traditional meat, as it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rather-eat-my-shoe-nutritionist-explains-the-issues-with-lab-grown-meat\/\" title=\"Nutritionist disapproves of lab-grown meat: 'I'd rather eat my shoe'.\">involves converting mono-crop plant sources<\/a> into meat using high-energy processes. This distinction raises concerns about the overall quality and composition of lab-grown meat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Environmental Impact and Cost<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lab-grown meat is often touted as a more environmentally sustainable option compared to meat from farms and ranches. However, a recent preprint study suggests that lab-grown meat may actually have a worse environmental impact than regular meat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the FDA has given the green light for lab-grown meat, the USDA&#8217;s approval allows for commercial sale. However, due to high production costs, these products will not be available in grocery stores yet and are expected to cost upwards of $20 per pound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s important to note that lab-grown meat is not the same as plant-based &#8220;meat&#8221; products like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat. Lab-grown meat is cultivated from animal cells, incubated and grown in steel tanks, and then processed to resemble traditional meat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1687972190386000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2poz7lKxiyhNV9ljBcMSzM\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nutritionist criticizes the limited public knowledge about lab-grown meat, stating she&#8217;d prefer eating her shoe over lab-grown meat.
