Mmmm… you know what would go down well with that slab of artificial laboratory-grown meat? How ’bout a big, cold glass of artificially produced breast milk grown from the cells of a (supposedly) human woman’s mammary glands?
Any chance for maybe some cloned Oreos for dippin’? Prolly not.
But all of a sudden, they magically know what a woman is. How convenient.
Nonetheless, these Masters of the Universe getting together for some Chemistry 101 class project simply couldn’t go wrong, could it?
Don’t ask any questions. Just buy it, pump it into your kids, rinse, repeat.
As noted by Ian Randall of London’s the Daily Mail (emphasis mine);
An artificial breast milk start-up that offers a green alternative to baby formula has received $3.5 million (£2.8m) from an investment fund co-founded by Bill Gates.
It has been estimated that around 10 per cent of the global dairy industry — a major producer of greenhouse gases — is used to manufacture baby formula.
However, US firm BIOMILQ is working to artificially produce human breast milk from cultured human mammary epithelial cells on a commercially viable scale.
The $1 billion (£800 million) fund, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, was established to help prevent the worst effects of climate change arising from carbon emissions.
Alongside Mr Gates, the group’s other members include Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Virgin group founder Sir Richard Branson and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg.
‘There are immense opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock used in the production of foods like dairy,’ said Breakthrough Energy Ventures member Carmichael Roberts.
‘BIOMILQ offers a superb dairy alternative for the production of infant nutrition.
‘The company has created a first-of-its-kind product that not only offers a better solution for the environment, but will also improve nutrition for infants around the globe,’ he added.
Is it just me or did anyone else notice that the priority was the environment first, children second?
