🧵 Would it be possible to organically grow meat from soil?

basically modified DNA strand of beans or even something completely from scratch that can grow and be farmed from soil using little to no modern technology. unlike lab-grown meat that requires factories and extra needless energy to grow. something that can be ethically handy in case of civilizational collapse.

Why? does it go against the laws of physics?

I dunno about literal meat, but some kind of growth very rich in proteins and fats seems like it should be doable. Something like this maybe.

Yes with basic genetic engineering its possible.

its that easy

The more I think about this topic the more I think the answer is already staring right at us. Chicken eggs. We don't call it meat, but eggs already contain all the amino acids and fat you find in meat, can be grown quickly, transported easily, with extremely low overhead. They're effectively "meat-pods" without the overhead of growing an entire animal (such and expensive bone and brain of an entire cow)

The problem with "growing from soil" is that the plant cannot move, and the amount of nutrients in the soil is too little for the nutrients present in meat. Instead, you'll have to do as in lab grown meat: multiply animal cells with injections of nutrients.
Perhaps is theoretically possible with a genetically modified plant as mentioned above, but the size of the roots vs the actual meat produce would be disproportionated.

this, soil is is too diluted in nutriment, a direct feed setup sound more efficient, like the pods in the matrix

Eggs are only a medium high source of protein around 12grams protein per 100g of egg. That's about the same as white wheat flour. I have no idea about the bioavailability of protein from wheat flour tho could be significantly lower than eggs which are around 80-90% when cooked or something I read.

You are damned.

Funny thing is that they could just as easily be vegans looking for ways to get the advantages of meat without the treatment of livestock that they see as immoral.

why are vegans so desperate to eat meat and drink milk?

why are you so desperate in beating your meat? the whole idea with us humans is we're able to control our urges, which are there because of the fucked up environment in which we evolved

Pretty self-aware, actually, to think of that. No, “proteins” are a wide variety of different molecules. Wheat protein is not as useful to the human body as egg protein is.

Bad comparison not only because of protein quality (egg protein is one of the highest quality, wheat flour one of the lowest) but because you're comparing hydrated vs dehydrated content.
Dehydrated egg powder should be used to make a comparison to wheat flour, and it's 48g protein per 100g for egg vs 12g for wheat flour.

This has already been done. They got a genetically modified onions bean to grow protein.
