The industry tapping K Street to one day dethrone beef

Proponents say lab-grown meat can address supply chain and land use problems, alleviate greenhouse gas emissions and improve animal welfare. In reality, their arguments aren’t clear cut yet. | Jeff Chiu/AP PhotoA sesame seed bun packed with lettuce, tomato, onion and a patty grown in a lab with Washington’s help.

“Some country is going to decide to lead the way in creating alternative proteins and creating meat and egg and dairy from plants and precision fermentation and through cultivating cells,” said Josh Tetrick, CEO of Eat Just, which makes one of the two cultivated meat products greenlit by regulators for public consumption this year. “We need to ask ourselves whether we want to be buying food from some other country decades from now or would we rather just produce it ourselves.

The farm bill only comes around every five years, so the last time Congress negotiated one, lab-grown meat — and the messaging game around it — was still in its infancy. Lobbying records show only two organizations in the space hired K Street firms in 2018.
