3D chicken nuggets

Meat of the future!

MOSCOW - KFC has partnered with a Russian bioprinting company to bring 3D printed chicken nuggets to the table.

Coined as the “meat of the future,” the lab-created chicken meat is KFC’s response to the growing interest of healthy lifestyles, the rise in demand for meat alternatives and the increasing need to develop more environmentally friendly methods of food production.

I have been told that fast food companies are already serving some sort of fake meat like that. Since I am no longer eating fast food I lack the motivation to verify this.

First we had fake new's, and now we will be expected to eat fake food too? I haven't eaten at a KFC in year's, because the last time that I did the chicken was way too greasy.

I hate how fake meat is being sold as a healthy alternative, I am not even a big meat eater and could survive as a Vegetarian easily. I only eat meat because of how healthy it is especially if its meat you raise yourself. These meat alternatives are likely very unhealthy, much like most sugar substitutes.

I guess that if they do this, the big grocery stores will also hop on board. Will they then cause all of the meat farmer's to kill off the herd's and flock's?

I believe that may have happened already, not sure because I never went and verified the info I received back in April about animals being killed and crops being plowed over. I just know that it lead me from getting rid of chickens and preparing to sell my house to ordering meat birds and starting all over again. I even have the largest food garden I have ever had, the Pickle Worms and horn worms are well fed because of it, at least I have hot peppers to go with my chicken lol the worms won't touch those.

That was Covid related, not 3-D printing. People stopped going to restaurants so the farmers that raised meat for restaurants could not sell the animals. You know what happens to Cornish X broilers if they are not butchered by their due date. If pigs don't get butchered by a certain weight they get too heavy for the equipment used during processing to handle the carcasses. Farmers are not going to keep feeding critters they can never sell. That's a waste of money.

People stopped eating in restaurants so they started buying meat at the grocery, so we had a meat shortage at the store. The obvious question, why didn't the farmers that supplied meat that used to go to restaurants switch to supplying stores? The answer is pretty simple when you think about it, the supply chain was not set up for it. There are differences in butchering and processing animals for the store versus restaurants. Different cuts, different packaging, different storage and transportation. People have to be retrained, equipment changed out. New contracts have to be negotiated and signed. All that takes time, if you want to go through the expense of retraining and retooling for what you hope is a short-term condition.

I did a tiny bit of research. 3-D nuggets could become a real thing. They are being developed and are scheduled to be tested this fall in Moscow. That's where the parent company is located, Moscow Russia, not Moscow Idaho, Pennsylvania, or Texas. They are not available anywhere in the world yet so they had nothing to do with this past April. Come on, keep your conspiracy theories straight. I don't have a clue when they will get rolled out in the US. They will need approvals, not sure if that is USDA, FDA, or both. That will take a while and should make the news.

I don't know about anybody conspiring to do what ever they do, I just know if their is a food shortage for any reason, I need to start producing my own.
