Bizarre Pentagon plan to 'reduce military's carbon footprint' that soldiers are furious about
2024-06-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Military personnel could find laboratory grown meat in their ration packs as Pentagon bosses scratch around for ways to reduce their impact on climate change.

Bioengineering company BioMADE came up with the idea after receiving $500 million in Defense department funding to reduce its carbon footprint.

But their plan to roll out 'cell based meat' has left a nasty taste in the mouth of veterans who have accused Pentagon bosses of treating front line soldiers like 'lab rats'.

'The military's job is forward defense, alliance, solidarity and deterrence, and that's it,' said former US Navy Seal Rob O'Neill.

'All that other stuff is crap. This is typical Washington DC nonsense movement.'

#8  Which one of the tech centibillionaires has a lab meat company? That’s where the motivation came from.

#7  Lab meat is always more carbon intensive to produce and far unhealthier than regular meat.

But it fits their narrative so FORWARD!!!

#6  Grosser than hot dogs.

And I fail to see what this has to do with climate change, other than this gimmick unwanted processing method is getting a large PR push from extinctionists right now.
