Artificial meat "impossible food" wants to enter China with the goal of replacing animal meat in 2035. Will you accept artificial meat?

I will accept artificial meat, after all, it is only used as food, and it can enter the market and trade in front of the public, which shows that this artificial meat is essentially no problem. Patrick? Brown said in an interview with the media before the meeting that their mission is to completely replace the role of animal meat in the food system with plant meat technology by 2035, and to provide the world with more delicious, safe, affordable and sustainable "meat" with plants.

At present, there are mainly two kinds of artificial meat in the world. One is vegetable meat like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, which uses pea protein, soybean, wheat, potato and vegetable oil to restore the texture and taste of animal meat; The other is still in the experimental stage, and it is expected that artificial meat will be successfully developed in the laboratory around 2020. The latter refers to extracting muscle tissue from animals and then putting it into a bioreactor for culture. It is reported that researchers from Maastricht University in the Netherlands are working hard for the large-scale production of artificial meat in the laboratory.

Plant artificial meat is considered to be more environmentally friendly. According to the analysis of the Center for Sustainable Systems of the University of Michigan, Beyond Meat may produce 90% less greenhouse gases than traditional beef burgers. Meanwhile, Patrick. Brown said in an interview that the plant artificial meat provided by Impossible Foods contains less cholesterol and hormones than animal meat on the basis of reducing the taste and nutrition of animal meat.

Patrick brown and his team believe that the secret of meat is hemoglobin. Based on this, they extracted DNA from soybean nodules that produced soybean hemoglobin, inserted effective fragments into yeast through gene editing, and produced hemoglobin through fermentation to obtain raw materials of plant-based artificial meat. With the expansion of the company's production capacity, the price of its artificial meat products will converge with that of most common ground beef products.
