Alert! FDA Clears "Chicken" Grown In A Laboratory By Medical Doctor
The FDA has given a green light to laboratory-grown chicken cell lines that were developed by a medical doctor. Reading the headlines and press releases on this action by the FDA, one is led to believe that the FDA has approved this lab-grown "chicken." But the FDA doesn't approve foods. They monitor food safety and labeling, but they do not approve foods. They only approve drugs. So what does this actually mean? In terms of how safe this product is, it means NOTHING. This was a "voluntary," "pre-market consultation" paid for by the company planning to market this product, so that they could use the FDA logo with their product giving the illusion that the FDA has actually approved this product, when in fact they have not. Do we really need a lab-cultured product called "chicken" produced by a medical doctor who has no training in agriculture or nutrition?
Who will conduct the studies on how this lab-grown "chicken" will affect human health once people start consuming it? You will, along with the rest of the public who decides to start eating it. The American consumer will become the lab rats in what will basically become the Phase III trials to see how their health will be affected after consuming this product. And who are the investors that are bringing this product to market? Investors include top meat producer Tyson, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk's brother Kimbal Musk. Now there's a bunch of names we can certainly trust to look out for our health!
