Here is part of the document produced by Dr Mercola on fake meat:
Yep, the raw truth:
As noted by the authors, investors have poured billions of dollars into animal cell-based
meat (ACBM) sector based on the theory that cultured meat is more environmentally
friendly than beef. But that hype is primarily based on flawed analyses of carbon
emissions.
The primary sources of CO emissions are the purification processes, which require
fossil fuels. The bacteria used to produce the “meat” releases endotoxins, and these
must be eliminated from the growth medium or else the cells won’t reproduce properly.
As noted by the authors:
“Animal cell culture is traditionally done with growth medium components
which have been refined to remove/reduce endotoxin. The use of these
refinement methods contributes significantly to the economic and
environmental costs associated with pharmaceutical products since they are
both energy and resource intensive.”
Based on this assessment, each kilo of cultured meat produces anywhere from 542
pounds (246 kilos) to 3,325 pounds (1,508 kg) of carbon dioxide emissions, making the
climate impact of cultured meat four to 25 times greater than that of conventional beef.

Sham Claims Based on Nonexistent Technologies
The UC Davis life cycle analysis also points out that several estimates of ACBM climate
impacts are dependent on novel technologies that either do not exist yet or are unlikely
to work.
For example, some have proposed growing cyanobacteria hydrolysate in open concrete
ponds to then be “harvested, sterilized, hydrolyzed and used as an animal cell growth
medium.” The problem is that this technology is not currently used, “nor is it one that is
currently near feasibility,” the authors note.
In short, the claims propping up the cultured meat industry are a sham, as the idea that
cultured meat is a greener option is based on nonexistent technologies rather than the
technologies that are in use.
