Talk about your double standards;

Anthony Bennet, the guy in the article who wants to save the world with this technology says he had some "delicious norwegian salmon" afterwards.

Virtually all of the norwegian salmon on the market is farmed. These predatory fish are fed high-protein fishmeal, high quality oils, soy proteins, krill, and other food-products that could be utilized otherwise in a starving world. This is to satisfy picky markets. These salmon have a feed factor of about 1; Give the fish 1 kg of dry feed and they gain 1 kg of wet weight. Better than pork and chicken production, but pork and chicken don't get fed top notch feed that could be used for humans.

Honestly, this kind of production makes me sick somehow. But that could be a reaction to seeing this as something very new. Somehow though, I find it unnatural and I feel this completely removes humans from nature.

The article didn't state what the raw materials for this kind of in-vitro production would be: Agar? Sugar? Enzymes? Hormones? These things don't come for free either....

Glad to see they have full control.
