| UK Becomes First European Country to Approve Lab Meat for Public Sale |
| 2024-07-18 |
| [Breitbart] Banking on Bird Flu? The UK has become the first European country to approve lab-grown meat to be sold to the public, with the synthetically developed protein expected to appear on the shelves as early as this year. British regulators have given the approval to UK-based firm Meatly to begin selling its lab-grown meat as dog food to the public. The approval paves the way for taste-test trials with dogs to begin for its new pet food, which will include proteins derived from cultivated chicken cells. The co-founder and CEO of the startup, Owen Ensor told The Telegraph on Wednesday: “The European Union has traditionally been a more conservative regulator and the US is getting embroiled in food politics – unnecessarily, in my opinion. So the UK can really step up here. “There has been an opportunity with Brexit, both legally with the disengaging from the EU process, but also from a government perspective. There’s been a lot of enthusiasm for innovative solutions and I think that we’ll see that continue with the current Government.” The company, founded in 2022, said that it is planning to license its technology to other firms in Britain, opening the door to the possibility of lab meat being sold to humans in the near future, as the process to produce it would be “very similar”. |

| #5 Why do I keep hearing Monty Python skits? Because the Monty Python guys recognized the foolishness of the British people way back then. As did C.S. Lewis, H.G. Wells, George Orwell and many more before them. |
