Synthetic venison?
General Topic
Bill Gates yesterday:
"I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand," the Microsoft co-founder told the MIT Tech Review.
So I’m assuming we should be eating synthetic venison? Is that like eating a McKenzie 3D target?
These people are definitely entertaining.
Can I buy it with Bitcoins?

If pink slime and store bought chicken are bad enough. Now they want people to eat synthetic beef. It’ll be a cold day in hell when I don’t have homegrown or home killed red meat in my freezer.
Please note very closely what he said "...or use regulation to totally shift the demand". To me that reads increased regulations on the meat industry until it's not as profitable as synthetic meat. I only like about 4 maybe 5 vegetables but more than willing to be a vegetarian long before I eat synthetic meat. The whole thing that scares me is going to be the push for synthetic fish, turkey, pork, etc...if the beef thing gets traction. I can harvest a couple of deer each year and provide the red meat we need then expand the garden because you know synthetic vegetables are coming - heard there's worm overpopulation in composted soils causing overcrowding and worm migrations into unwanted areas.
"You can get used to the taste difference....." "And if not, we will force you to." There you go Billy Boy, I fixed it for you.
You want my venison and beef oligarch? MOLON LABE!
I'll bet THAT sob will still eat real meat! That's how they work.

The carbon taxes might get expensive. In the meantime, China and others expand their livestock, farming, and coal plants.
Bill Gates needs to eat something all right.
He scares the hell out of me. I do agree with him that if we are going off fossil fuels, we need to go nuclear.
And yet there are those who will still support the pols continuously propped up by Gatler and the rest of the global plutocracy because they claim to have the feels over womyn's "health", social justice and sexual deviancy.
Amazing that a guy as smart as old Billy boy can think cows are the problem. It's scary what these global loons think, truely. And let's not forget, synthetic beef for all but not for thee.
Zager and Evans, In The Year 2525????
Very dangerous and if he’s talking about it, you can bet your azz he’s already been talking to the Biden liberals about it. These tyrants are morphing our country into anything but the Land of the Free. Corporate Capitalism is what we are looking at with these giant tech companies yanking on Biden’s strings.
I saw some of this on 60 minutes on Sunday. Using fungus to make test tube meat....................NO THANKS! : (
And the “greenies” will try to force this down our throats!
Anybody hear about the wind turbines in Texas?! All froze up and caused major power grid problems ..................
Pat said "So I’m assuming we should be eating synthetic venison? Is that like eating a McKenzie 3D target?"
I think you selling it a little short. The McKenzie targets are hard/tough I guessing it is closer to Rinehart target. They always pull a little easier so I guess they'd be less chewy.
JohnMc, ha!
With that logic then the Block targets will be like slow-smoked pulled pork because they fall apart with very little effort.
Bill Gates should have informed Native Americans that by not exterminating the buffalo herds , they were contributing to climate change. Good thing the buffalo hunters came along and eliminated those climate changing methane producers. ??
These lefties are nuts. When you think it can't get any crazier, it does. Today it's synthetic meat being forced on us, yesterday it was mathematics is racist because it assumes there is only one answer. You can't make this stuff up.
I'm waiting for the political left members on here who were pumping Joe up before the election to come out honestly and let us know when they plan on saying sorry? Lol I know that won't happen, but the good news guys is that we only have 12 years left on earth so get those dream hunts in while your here.
Bill Gates made a computer and now he is the expert in all things. We should listen to him on our diet, climate, health, financial policies and pretty much anything he spews. How is that Malaria vaccine program you have going in Africa Bill? I mean..I assume you're a doctor so we should be listening to you on this for sure......the audacity of some of these assholes is mind boggling.
The thing is, there is a ever growing portion of America that agrees with his ideology.
That’s the dangers folks. The danger in liberal ideology. The danger in not standing firm for every facet of your Bill of Rights. The danger in any train of thought not aligning with conservative philosophy. It all leads to these kind of results.
Dirty Mike, that was the first image that came to my head after reading Pat's post- someone in the future screaming Synthetic beef is humans....Bill is concerned with human over population.
I wasn't made for these times.
"Money talks" and the "love of money" is the root of all evil" 1Timothy 6:10
I'd like to feed Gates a non - synthetic knuckle sandwich.
cows produce a tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases from farts than humans do. maybe we need synthetic humans made of a material that easily dissolves in tears. mainly liberals so they would wash away as they are offended.
I’m not too worried about this. After all, he says all “rich” countries should move to 100% synthetic meat. By the time these idiots get done with this country, we will be so far down in the $hitter, we won’t be on that list.
I'm fine with people eating synthetic beef in their disgusting fast food - the quality of that food is already in the realm between Assville and Scrotumburg.
I'll continue eating game meat. Thanks.
But Bill.....the plants that we are going to consume are putting oxygen back into the atmosphere. I'd rather choke on a tenderloin, thank you.
We call that the taint region Idyl......taint your but and taint your balls. Somewhere in between!!!
...."you can sort of change the [behavior of] people,"......
So what's the subliminal message with the position of his fingers??????
This is why I bought a piece of land that is home to wildlife...for food...
no surprise, gates and his friends are invested in the companies that make the stuff.
Maybe they'll offer to just put us in a coma and let us live the synthetic life we want within a software program so we don't cause any more harm to the planet.
His new book "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster", I wonder if it includes anything about downsizing from say a 66,000 sf home with 7 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms to a normal 2,500 sf 4 BR, 2 bath home on a 1/2 acre lot. Ya know, modify your behavior so you get used to it.
3D targets will now need a warning label. DO NOT EAT. Will cause...........
Nick- That is funny because I had that exact scene in my cartoon bubble when I read this thread.
You guys need to think out of the box. Think about a woods full of 3D targets made of this stuff. You walk through and shoot them then you can bring them home and eat them. It's a dream come true for the waco anti-community, till they start putting human feelings to them and stop the killing of 3D eatable targets.
You suppose this guy Gates is acting out Rodenberry’s fantasies?
I have zero issues with engineered meat. I'd argue it may be a super useful way to provide protein rich food to more people than we can get it to now. I get his point RE "rich" countries given shipping it to poor countries may run into similar logistical issues that exist for feeding them now.
That said, I'd err to supplemental not 100%. That's overly ambitious and doesnt fit reality - farming is an important part of life and of our natural habitat. Eliminating it doesnt make sense. But changing things so there is less "factory farming" and smaller farms can continue competitively, cool.
“3D targets will now need a warning label. DO NOT EAT. Will cause...........”

I was wondering about all these burgers chains selling plant based hamburgers. Is this some kind of lead in to whats coming instead of burgers for vegetarians. I am a dyed in the wool conservative but if a democrat had to win I wish it had been Tulsi. She seemed more middle of the road and I think she would of told the wacko's to get lost. Also she enjoyable to look. Biden is like getting shafted by Jeff Dunhams puppet Walter.
And where does most of the E-Coli outbreaks come from? Plants.
"She seemed more middle of the road and I think she would of told the wacko's to get lost."
Really? Need to examine some of her views, from being vegan to being to supporting the New Green Deal and being fossil fuel free by 2035. Just cuz she's pretty don't mean she ain't a leftist loon.
Well since the government subsidized farmers a decade or 3 ago, I guess we have to find ways to feed the masses. At one time America fed the world. After subsidies we are struggling to feed our own. The real losers are the farmers and ranchers. I wonder if that’s why they need more subsidies for deer, elk and antelope in the west?
… hmmmm, kinda reminds me of Arby's supposed "roast beef"... tasty!
Gates now owns the most farmland in the US. No BS.
When they can build and maintain enough factories to supply the world using only renewable resources along with clothing, housing and commuting their workers with those same resources. Maybe then I will try a bite of that synthetic meat.
I'm not against renewable energy but I think we need to realize that using fossil fuels has its place also.
The reality is it all comes down to $$$$$$$, if the elites can make money off the rest of us they're going to back each other up no matter what their party affiliation is.
The green new deal is about changing how wealth is created and distruibted and how $ are created paid for by changes in the law and direction of this country by the Dems. Next its the guns and rest assured a big push to going after hunting in this country.

DIRTY MIKE, you beat me too it... 'Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people'... and the taste.!
He will still be eating filet and prime rib while everyone else is eating plants,
I think GATES HAS DONE ENOUGH WITH china for the world.
Synthetic meat..... I've heard it's not too bad if you wrap it in bacon......
IMO, he can stick his synthetic beef, all his idiotic vaccinations and one world order, where the sun don’t shine. I’m not buying any of the BS he’s trying to sell.
30 years ago, I walked into a bar/restaurant in Missoula,MT. And there was a banner 20 ft. long hanging on the wall behind the bar that read, “ please do not, Californicate,Montana”. I had no idea what that meant at that time, I sure as hell do, now. And Gates, with his money and influence in the world, a lot of his ideas will be adopted.
Synthetic meat gives you man boobs. Bill proves it.

Synthetic beef for synthetic beings. Logical but I'll opt out of both, thank you.
Bill Gates can kiss my non synthetic butt. There are 17 million farting cows in Texas and they are having snow and temp in single digits.
My opinion, this isn’t so much to do with “going green”
This is the downfall of greed and capitalism. I still believe capitalism is the best system so I’m not bashing it.
Capitalism constantly depends on more. More sales, more profits, more customers.
These people know “natural” resources and process can only feed a certain amount of people. That’s where the limit is. What can the land mass naturally support. We are passing that mark or getting closer by the day.
So what’s next is manufacture our food supply.
That’s my dumb 2 cents on it all.
It just keeps getting weirder and more bizzare....
Synthetic meat should simply be another consumer choice, the concept should not be forced upon us in subtle ways by the government. Keep an eye on the quest towards carbon neutrality, the US food producers will be facing even higher production costs. These forms of increased taxes and costs will favor synthetic meats, and further shift meat production to other countries.
How much fossil fuel is needed to produce synthetic meat ?
I'm just glad that he still maintained a small carbon footprint and does not negatively impact the environment with the billions of dollars he made from his products, manufacturing, and everything that goes along with all of that like his private plane, Porsche, mansion, etc....lol. I don't fault the guy for being hugely successful, rich, and all that comes along with that. It just seems hypocritical with not only him but all those Hollywood types that want to change things but still live the lifestyles that they do with properties all over the world, private planes, mansions, multiple vehicles, etc.
Microsoft is purchasing carbon credits through companies such as Truterra. It is no wonder he wants farmers pressured to create carbon credits, so he can purchase them to offset Microsofts use in the new tax mandate. Microsoft needs to purchase credits to offset their carbon footprint and lower their tax exposure. Gates is now the number one owner of farm land in the US, he will be able to reduce the carbon footprint on these lands and create his own credits. He is smart. US Food prices will continue to escalate.
thats what happens when you let socialist loving, left wing, computer nerds direct humanity.
I agree Shade. Very bizarre. Personally I wouldn’t touch it. My guess is it can and will be grown in a lab in Wuhan at some point.
Carbon credits? Seems like the old pre-reformation Catholic church practice of the sale of indulgences. Pay some $$ and your sin is absolved. Actions of your sin remain, but you have a clean conscience and soul before God, oops I meant Gates.
^^^^LOL @ TD’s post!!
The only way to improve upon it, would be to deep fat fry it and put it on a stick.
From the same article. Like mentioned above, all about the money.
When Gates refers to synthetic meat, he’s likely talking about the growing market of very sophisticated vegan meat alternatives like Beyond Meat, but he’s also an investor in at least one true“lab meat” startup. These companies grow individual chunks of muscle tissue—that’s what meat is—separately from any living animal.
Kind of scary that this guy is buying up so much farmland. Look into how much he owns
242,000 farmland acres according to link above.
