The following report is from LabBioTech.eu:
Cell cultured meat could now be produced on a broader scale thanks to funding of $10 million invested in the Israeli start-up BioBetter Ltd.
Food-tech BioBetter Ltd., received the significant injection of capital in its series A round of funding which was led by Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP) with additional investment from Milk and Honey Investments LLC and the Israeli Innovation Authority.

Cell-Cultured Meat
The company says the funding will be key to accelerating the production of cell-cultured meat to a wider reach.
BioBetter uses tobacco plants as bioreactors for creating the growth factors necessary for the cellular development of cultivated meat.
The botanical development could significantly reduce the cost of cultured meat and help rapidly advance its commercialization.
The start-up says it is on a mission to relieve one of the biggest bottlenecks in this emerging industry. These include the steep costs and limited availability of growth factors that play a critical role in multiplying cultured meat cells.
Israel Funds Lab-Grown Meat Production Company
Animal-Free Bioreactors
BioBetter uses a protein manufacturing platform for producing growth factors using tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) as natural, self-sustaining, animal-free bioreactors. The field-grown tobacco plants offer a new, sustainable, efficient, and flexible response to the market need for more competitively priced GFs, specifically insulin, transferrin, and FGF2 (basic fibroblast growth factor). These compounds are necessary to make cultivated meat commercially viable.
Erel Margalit, founder and executive chairman of JVP said:
Biobetter has the key to scale up production of cultivated meat, make it accessible to consumers globally and protect our planet.
This is not only because of the sheer volumes of GFs it can produce but also by virtue of its ability to substantially reduce their cost.
Growth factors form the key building blocks for cell-cultured proteins. But the company says that costs currently run anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000 per gram of FGF2. BioBetter said it’s technology has the potential to bring these costs down to just one US dollar per gram.
BioBetter plans to expand to a larger pilot plant
The company says it intends to expand to a larger pilot plant within the Tel Hai Industrial Park in the Upper Galilee Region of Israel. The establishment of the new site, it says, will substantially increase its tobacco plant-processing capacity, enabling it to meet its current pool of commissions emanating from cell-based meat cultivators globally.
Nisan Zeevi, director of JVP and Margalit Startup City Galil, said: “Biobetter has the potential to create global and regional impact.
Closer to home, this venture will create a significant new source of income for local farmers. As cellular agricultural expands, we will dedicate some 500 acres here in the galilee of tobacco plantations to support the industry. This also helps growers find new purpose in the burgeoning alternative protein scene following a reduction in smoking over the last decade that has left many tobacco fields idle and tobacco farmers suffering financial loss.

[…] the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.Proverbs 15:14b
Hey, since the industry that has ruined plenty of generations of health, now let’s covert those crops into nasty fake “meats.” Genius.
New Study Reveals That Plant-Based Meats Are Way Less Nutritious And Have A Hard Time Being Digested
Be that is it may, this Bible prophecy continuing to be fulfilled:
[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.1 Timothy 4:1-3
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [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).

Proverbs 23:3, 6-7
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Perfect set of verses, Neil.
Tobacco leaf fake meats? So it’s either that or smoking? No thanks to both, I used to smoke – right now I have a nicotine gum habit, please don’t get upset I’m confessing a fault.
Not at all. We’re all wicked sinners. Paul himself mentioned his own struggles with sin:
Romans 7:15-25
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Thanks Neil.
I love KJB believers and I want to know I’m truly part of them.
Is nicotine gum a sin? I have no clue.
It is. Nicotine affects the natural and normal functions of the body. It’s an addictive drug and classified as poison (see wikipedia). So it defiles our bodies (1 Corinthians 3:16-17).
It used to blow my mind over at Mercola how people would buy into this stuff as ‘good’ and an alternative to big bad capitalism….which wasn’t honest capitalism or free market at all, but managed & corrupt crony capitalism….what Texas Dad called ‘crapitalism’. Makes me laugh: yep, what comes out of a man that defileth….or out of a certain bull/calf-faced-cherub.

Their idea of a good local community program is what Europe is doing in Spain, and in the government/Roman religious ‘charitable’ ‘sustainable’ agave farms in Mexico set up like the old slavery Jesuit reducciones in Bolivia & all the Rome-dominated nations of the Americas, wherever they could get away with it. Both the ‘old style’ and historical originals, and what they learned behind the handy-dandy Iron and Bamboo Curtains in more modern times about enslavement by more technologically advanced means & better honed sorcery techniques & craft.

Either they, or the controllers behind their website & the net got tired of the free speech they say they love so much, and quit allowing me to comment & point these things out. Don’t even both with that site anymore, it’s so steered and predictable : – (. But you sure can see the Jewish craft and Romish corporatism uniting as prophesied. Plain as day.

Another thing about these food shortages, gmo manipulations, glyphosate, terrain-changing v-words….folks at southernprepper1 were writing in to say that certain brands of laying mash chicken feed caused their entire flock to either stop laying altogether, or to drastically reduce their former rate of laying. They didn’t think much of it until they bought a local & known brand, & they started laying again. So they experimented again to see if they’d stop laying going back to the other brand….and, sure enough, they did! Said they were writing in from Missouri-Iowa area…..

When these people talk about ‘food revolutions’ and such things, ‘forcing’ sustainable etc, they mean it. I think it was Purina brand that was the culprit, so they probably skirt current protecting laws & so forth with either ingredients sourced abroad in places like China, or making & mixing the product there, then sending it back. Crony players making money on the transport etc as they figure out new ways to merchandise, use, exploit and kill people. SICKOs.

I don’t think it’s just animal feed being so experimented with. And, apparently just making things more addictive wasn’t enough for these guys, or else they rode that pony as far as they could get away with, & needed a new dog and pony show & excuse to hide behind.
