Bill Gates advocates for the use of artificial meat to reduce global emissions caused by cows, as they emit methane. Some Republican states oppose lab-grown meat labeling with traditional terms. Lab-grown meat could help lower greenhouse-gas emissions but faces resistance from Republicans.
Cow burps are a major source of methane emissions. A Boston startup is working on a vaccine to fix that. https://t.co/7MROjIXdDf via @BostonGlobe
The prospect of lab-grown steaks replacing the farmed stuff may be distant, but it is red meat for Republican voters. We explain why https://t.co/Sze9vnXiwo 👇
Very cool idea! The cow that produces vaccines: Back to the real meaning of “vaccination” 👍 https://t.co/s29IIshnHl
If it becomes more popular, lab-grown meat might help reduce the environmental impact of livestock farming, which accounts for around 12% of greenhouse-gas emissions worldwide. That argument holds little sway with Republicans https://t.co/R8XypHbCX6 👇
More than a dozen Republican states prohibit firms from labelling their lab-grown meat with terms that traditionally refer to real animal products. What is conservatives’ beef with “fake” meat? https://t.co/FLUvGFIDcF 👇
“Cows alone account for about 6% of global emissions, and so we need to change cows.” Bill Gates says that, because cows emit methane, the world needs to start using artificial meat instead, made by companies he just so happens to have invested in. https://t.co/M55bF355mU
