Is The World F*cked?
Welcome to "Is The World F*cked?" - a weekly raw and irreverent look at the future... starting today! We look at where the world's going in technology, economics, social policies and lots of other crazy sh*t!
We get real about where we could be going if we got our act together, what scares the hell out of us, and what makes our heads spin.
Your hosts are Dr Bruce McCabe, The Global Futurist, and Bruce's mate, "PJ" Jones, one of the original digital marketers in this world. We kick around the big issues everyone's thinking about but might hesitate to raise in polite company, while keeping it real and having some fun. Because, without the laughs, what's the point? And then we try to decide in the end, is the world f*cked, or not?
You can check out our "day jobs" at www.brucemccabe.com and www.alexim.com.au respectively, although this podcast was never meant for our clients (we're scared to death they'll find it). This podcast is for YOU - if you're thinking about the big stuff - and whether the world is f*cked, or not!
Is The World F*cked?
#31 - How Would You Like Your Cultured Cells Tonight Madam?
The meat market (no not those old bars you hung out in - we mean the actual meat market) is on the move - are we F'ed or not? And we go beyond just plant-based alternatives - this gets bloody!
We’ve covered the massive global footprint of meat in a previous episode, now we’re sinking our teeth into possible solutions - both the plant-based and lab-grown variety. Yes, it's here.
That's right - we can grow your next dinner in the lab out the back. Almost. How do you like it? Rare, very rare, or squishy? Take a listen to find out just how far we've come in producing genuine meat from cells in a lab.
And what about those meat paddies made of plants. Are they really the future or is it all a dead end? And why can’t we do better than paddies? I want STEAK!
You might be surprised by where we go with this one - where we start - and more so - where we finish. We hope you have a strong stomach! Moooo!
And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!
