| 27/September/21 | Lab-grown meat is vapourware, expert analysis shows Lab-grown meat is supposed to be inevitable – but the science tells a different story, concludes a long but incisive article by Joe Fassler in The Counter. The article confirms what we've long said about lab-grown fake meat – that it's too expensive, impractical, energy-hungry, and dangerous to scale up, and will never make financial or environmental sense. But the article goes much further, in that it provides the data and independent expert analysis that so far have been absent from all media articles about this topic. After reading this article, the author and journalist Tom Philpott, who dug into the same topic himself in a recent piece that concluded lab-grown meat was largely hype, tweeted that he was now “convinced that lab-grown meat… is basically vapourware”. GMWatch Stephan Neidenbach: Monsanto-loving schoolteacher who harasses professors Today’s culture is besieged by people who forge a warped shield of science to duck behind before launching defamation missiles at journalists and academics who toil to expose corporate-funded propaganda, writes Paul Thacker. Allies of tobacco deployed this tactic, as did fossil fuel companies and the agrichemical industry. These harassment campaigns are now so simple, even a schoolteacher can run one. And to defend GMO agriculture and pesticide companies, few have shown greater zeal than schoolteacher Stephan Neidenbach, who has spent years haranguing professors and journalists, comparing them to Hitler, harassing their editors and employers, and charging some with racism — while pleading with Monsanto to hire him as he worked in a classroom teaching children.
