If you think about putting that altogether into a number it’s millions of people who are involved in that industry and could obviously very easily be disrupted if this comes to fruition. BK And one of the eye popping statistics in the case for me was that you talk about land usage and plus percent of land being used to either raise cattle or to raise the crops that feed the cattle versus four percent of land being used to raise consumable healthy vegetables.
That’s pretty amazing and seems like a huge disparity. Editor s note of land is used for pastureland or growing cattle feed. JA Right. Again the resource allocation seems a little bit America Cell Phone Number List odd. And there’s another problem here in that the climate change characteristics of growing beef are also not very favorable. and how much carbon is created in that value chain it’s also problematic in the long term as well. BK So people see the environmental issues I think. A lot of people have concerns about the way animals are treated in the process of raising consumable meat.
JA And that’s really the driver for Sergei Brin. He is very much an animal rights advocate and that was the driver for him in this instance around tissue culture beef. BK Let’s go back to Dr. Post because it seems like the number one challenge on his plate so to speak at least initially is gaining public acceptance. If we go back to he’s now got his three hamburgers at this public demonstration can you sort of set that up for us and tell about how that went JA I think generally the acceptance was pretty high especially for first time through. One of the things that’s interesting about the burgers is that they are completely lean. There is no fat.
