From animal-free ice cream and lamb cultivated a lab, these Australian companies are thinking outside the box to engineer alternative sources of protein as the world's population tracks towards 10 billion by 2050.

abc.net.au/news/how-australias-alternative-protein-industry-is-reinventing-food/101307234Throwing a lamb chop on the barbie is about as Australian as it gets, but many are seeking out alternative sources of protein amid growing concerns over food security, animal welfare and the environment.

The long-term goal is "structured" products like lamb chops, steaks and strips, which the company is aiming to have on Australian supermarket shelves in two to three years. "For example, we might be able to add a higher protein content, additional omega-3, vitamins, and remove some of the less desirable properties like saturated fats and inflammatory properties," Mr Bevan said.However, the proof will be in the pudding, as many barriers still need to be overcome before the average Australian household can add cultivated, also known as cultured, cellular and no-kill meat, to their shopping lists.

Vow co-founder George Peppou said the factory, which will open in the coming weeks, will start off making products for export to countries like Singapore and the United States, with high-end restaurants their first target market."Australia is not going to be one of the fastest markets to be taking up cultured meat for lots of reasons, but what I do think is really exciting is we are already a big protein exporter," Mr Peppou said.

Sloylent Green just keeps popping into my head

How is this allowed? Just Egg is the brand but no egg content. Nut 'milks', vegetable 'meats' what are our food regulation legislators doing?

Yet another “conspiracy theory” linked to Gates & Schwab turning out to be true.

And they had the nerve to call GMOs 'Frankenfood'.

Phillip K Dick was right again.

Plenty of good vegetarian and vegan food to eat. But when lab made products have the texture, nutrition, and flavour qualities of their traditional equivalents, I’ll take the option with less environmental impact and fewer ethical issues.

I know how to fish. :)

Not on my table. Stop trying to normalise this shit ABC.

cultivated meat is to food as vegan cheese is to cheese..
