Singapore Sells The World’s First Cell-Cultured Chicken In A Vat At Restaurants

The following report is from The Straits Times:

In a world’s first, a hawker in Singapore recently offered a cell-cultured chicken meal at an affordable price of $4.

And diners said the meat tasted “just like real chicken”.

Cultured meat is made from growing animal cells in a bioreactor – similar to the vats used in brewing beer – instead of slaughtering actual animals.

The slices of lab-grown chicken were served alongside a hearty portion of white rice drenched in curry, together with eggplant and cai xin, a Chinese flowering cabbage, and a bottle of iced lemon tea at Loo’s Hainanese Curry Rice in Tiong Bahru.

The hawker stall, which has been open since 1946, partnered Eat Just’s Good Meat, a Californian start-up dedicated to the production of alternative proteins, to serve up cultured chicken in an everyday setting.

The meal was offered from Feb 26 to March 1 to a limited number of diners who made bookings months in advance.

During the run, Good Meat subsidised the cost of its chicken bites so that the whole meal could be offered to consumers at $4 each.

Barber Mervyn Hi, 33, said he could not tell the difference between the cultivated meat served and regular meat from slaughtered chickens.

Mr Hi, who only found out from his friend that he was eating lab-grown chicken on his second bite, said:

The meat tastes just like normal chicken. There is no taste of artificial flavouring in the meat at all.

But he said the decision to give up regular chicken for lab-grown meat would depend on its eventual cost, citing the price point of McDonald’s nuggets as the one to beat.

The barber said:

If it were as affordable as McDonald’s nuggets, the choice of cultured chicken would be easy because I can continue my meat-eating lifestyle while avoiding contributing to the slaughter of chickens.

Mr Loo Kia Chee, the 62-year-old owner of the Hainanese curry rice stall, said:

This cell-cultured meat is a big step forward for humanity’s food-related needs and is more environmentally friendly while also being ethical.

As it is a noble cause, I don’t mind supporting it.

Good Meat will collaborate with hawkers in Singapore to promote its chicken meat.

The next event will happen in April, and more information will be released by Good Meat closer to the date.

The hawker collaboration is expected to continue at least till the end of this year, with the firm “keeping a lookout for hawkers with signature chicken dishes”, said Eat Just chief executive Josh Tetrick.

He added:

Every community in the world has its version of the hawker and it is the food from these hawkers that makes people feel connected to their communities.

By integrating our cultivated chicken into ordinary settings, we wanted to offer a window into the future of how such foods will feature in our everyday lives.

[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

The devilish faux meat cult is growing at blistering paces, as stores everywhere waving this disgusting slop in our faces. And now with the definite food crisis occurring because of the absurd restrictions that are being levied by companies and governments on Russian/Ukraine goods, most conventional livestock will die due to a lack of feed. Therefore, the masses will again be slowly goaded into accepting these disgusting “meats.”

[8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
