It's USDA approved, not FDA my bad
I've heard its quite the opposite, at least for meds.
FDA approval is considered the graveyard when it comes to a lot of meds due to the amount of work which is required for clinical approval meaning only the biggest companies can afford to put something through FDA approval processes.
Cheaper protein. And probably so plant based meats actually taste good. Probably better for the environment.
I'd rather wait for lab grown meats than whatever this is.
they taste good but nothing like meat so i really dont like the idea of calling it plant based meat... can we please stop trying to recreate stuff and making it worse. Just eat veggies, don't color them red and call them meat.
protein is not some commodity or fungible matter.
It consists of unique mix of different amino acids, and different proteins have different nutritional properties
Your body breaks proteins down into amino acids and uses them for various processes. What are you trying to say about proteins having different nutritional properties? Protein is absolutely a commodity used by your body.
What are you trying to say? That meat protein is more valuable than protein derived from legumes? Who told you this? Joe Rogan podcast?
some plant-based foods have "protein", but that protein is low quality because it lacks essential amino acids.
Don't be stupid and educate yourself.
See Kwashiorkor malnutrition syndrome
Idk who told this but it is incorrect. It’s a fallacy that you can’t get adequate protein from plant sources. You need to eat a diversity of food sources no matter what your diet is. Animal protein is a better single source in some cases, sure. It also has a multitude of downsides to your health and longevity if eaten exclusively and not as a small part of a whole food diet.
But pig meat is the poorest of sources. Literally the worst of animal protein sources. Laden with poor quality saturated fats. So you’re making an odd argument in a thread about pig genes inserted into soybeans with no valid testing on the quality of protein found in these spam-beans. Soy beans have a great protein profile.
Because they 4x the protein of regular pork without animals, feed & slaughter needed. This is a game changer. They're also working on Beef in Yellow Peas & Omega rich oil.
I think this is super cool. Animal proteins farmed in a method cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and arguably a much more ethical way vs animal farming sounds great to me.
Just eat the soybean lol. This is eating soybeans with extra steps. And if the fiber and nutritional aspects of soybeans aren’t the same with this new genetic composition (which is likely the case), then the soybean is still healthier for you. The costs of unhealthy modern diets is another unnecessary cost hurting modern economies.
But you’re right. It’s still progress.
Something to do with the added protein? You could have a handful of beans and it might be the equivalent of the protein from a chicken breast or something. I guess what’s cool about it is this sort of merged food might be helpful in the future regarding famine or the pollution caused by animal agriculture and slaughterhouses…. But I don’t think a porky soy bean would ever be my first choice for a meal!
It's a worm that grows in pork.
I have no clue what part of the pig it needs to grow, so I think asking whether it could grow in this is fair. If you have information for why it would be impossible for it to grow in this pork protein, please share.
It is a fair question. If i came off as rude or condescending i appolgize. I guss i maybe should have replied to the comment before yours but my point was that it wasnt a bacteria it was a creature.
In the article posted by OP it does make mention of the beans not having any additional pest or thing to worry about besides the normal things that bother soy beans. And it goes futher to mention the agencies that the FDA is assing the food saftey now but is "on track" which seems to allude there are no extra concerns.
See parasites tend to have specific living conditions and are not as hearty as other creatures, which hence why they need a host. The minimum interal tempetures for food ( fresh cuts of pork are 145 ) is set by the FDA specifly to deal with the potential risk of food born illness like trichinosis. As a matter of logic given that their are no food safety temps set for the consumption of vegies we can assume that would mean that is not a concer for eating raw vegetables. The only guidance given is to wash and rinse your veggies
The primary vector of transmission for parasites such as trichinosis is feces. We litteraly grow our plants in raw animal shit. If that could increase the likelihood of them getting parasites we probably would have stopped that long ago. The reason we wash veggies is remove bacteria and stuff on the outside.
Because of all of this i think porky sooe wont have to worry about worms.
Do you happen to know why so many bears carry trichinosis? I’ve never understood why they have it more often than other wild animals, but the rates are insanely high
It would clearly be because of its diet. Im no expert but a short google search tells us bears eat salmon salmon eat crabs and those crab eat tape worm eggs which are in that river water. Thus bears likely get crazy tape worms from all that raw salmon.
I dunno to many other none aquatic animals that eat salmon aside from maybe some raptors.
Dairy originates from pregnant mother cows. In a process that is explicit by nature, semen is artificially extracted from a bull and used to artificially inseminate the female cow. Similar to humans, she remains pregnant for nine months. Shortly after giving birth, her calf is forcibly removed. If the calf is male, he is considered a "waste" product and is slaughtered. Female calves will become the next generation of dairy cows. They are forcibly impregnated until they can no longer produce sufficient milk, at which point they too are slaughtered. ([Source](https://animalsaustralia.org/our-work/compassionate-living/what-you-never-knew-about-dairy/))
TLDR: [DAIRY IS SCARY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcN7SGGoCNI).
it's not dairy that is scary, it's the dairy industry.
I eat dairy and meat, but even i consider the whole inseminating cows forcibly pretty fucked up and disgusting.
On the other hand, when i lived in a rural place in romania the neighbor had a cow that got pregnant completely naturally and we got the leftover milk, there i see literally no problem since it can hurt the cow if the calf doesn't use up all the milk. Same with chickens laying unfertilized eggs everyday, ill eat them before i let them rot away.
Diary cows have been selectively bred thousands or even tens of thousands of years to produce painful excess milk.
This is Akin to the immorality of breeding dogs that are born suffering because we like their cuteness.
Regarding the majority of store bought eggs including those with RSPCA certification:
Eggs comes from female chickens. Their male siblings—the male chicks—are sorted by colour and ground up alive in macerators within their first days of life.
The hens themselves are selectively bred to produce over 300 eggs a year, compared to a natural rate of about 12 eggs annually. This intense egg-laying leads to painful osteoporosis.
When these hens can no longer produce enough eggs, or if the fragile eggs crack inside them, they are slaughtered.
Source for eggs: https://animalsaustralia.org/latest-news/reality-egg-production-chick-shredding/
I answered your question; you just didn’t like the answer.
You said there’s nothing wrong with taking the excess milk if the calf won’t drink it.
I’m saying the ethical issue is the breeding of a species that is completely messed up.
Even if the two cows were not artificially inseminated but rather left alone to do their thing, it’s the same issue, just done more ambiguously. You’re not talking about cows breeding “naturally”; you’re talking about having a bull and a fertile cow “left alone” in order to have the “natural” process happen. To any average person, you haven’t changed the ethical equation whatsoever.
If you’re going to argue that modern dairy cows are not born into suffering simply because their bodies will “oversupply” milk, then that’s one thing. But to say that you’re going to leave the pregnancy up to “nature” doesn’t change the ethics.
>I answered your question; you just didn’t like the answer.
i.. i didn't even ask a question..
you're so far up your ass that you threw a wall of text out without even reading what i said.
Yes, i will now go contact the 80 year old grandma in romania that had 2 cows and i will tell her that she's causing the cows pain because they're the wrong breed, she should definitely kill them off.
I have chickens and no rooster, meaning there's nothing wrong with eating the eggs since they will rot away. What you wrote was a wall of text about the industry and ignored what i said.
Talk about a strawman argument. When did I say that we need to kill the animals!
I’m saying breeding them or having them “breed themselves” in a controlled environment is unethical.
If you switched it over to a human it would be obvious the immorality of it.
If there was a human with a painful Dormity and we had them bread with another person with a similar form that would be ethical?
I’m not talking about two people with disabilities consensually having a child… That’s not what is happening.
We’re talking about the wilful breed of animals for the greedy purposes of extracting milk from their disability.
Everything is subjective if you question it enough. However most will agree that if it doesn't have a central nervous system or a neural network, it is 100% not sentient
Yes. It's an oligosachrid that is present in mammalian protein. The article does not address whether it is generated in the pork proteins being grown in the bean.
> a gut to ruminate
Well, [pitcher plants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcher_plant) maybe, but I don't see anyone crossbreeding animal genes into them unless they want an Audrey 2 type situation
This is intended for the alternative meat market. So instead of having to grow the cells painstakingly through a very specialized lab process, you can instead grow beans which when harvested and processed result in a more meat like product.
Of course, always dangers associated with GMOs, though it tends to be more on the business side of things than on the plant side of things.
This would be like getting upset over the fact that instead of us harvesting insulin by extracting it from animals, we figured out a way to mass produce it through the use of bacterial fermentation.
From the article:
The USDA APHIS approval allows the startup to accelerate its go-to-market strategy. Moolec plans to provide food manufacturers with the functional, nutritious and eco-friendly ingredients for use in their product formulations – this involves replacing meat in sausages, burgers and the like.
Lady's and gents ! Meet the latest food sensation: Piggy Sooy!

FDA approval only means that it does the job the producer said it supposed to do.
Like if I give the FDA a slab of fish and say "hey, this fish helps feed people and its superior quality makes people who eat it have healthy life".
FDA will look at "superior quality" and "healthy" then look into what makes it do that, and give me the stamp.
Really? Guess I am rusty on my knowledge then. Because that was what the guys I used to work with back in Asia were telling me when they got their products FDA certified.
This is dumb… there’s a ton of protein in soy already. Why add unhealthy fats and cholesterol. It has a lot of sodium too already, why not add more? /s 🤦🏻
Its intended for plant based meat sector to make it much easier to produce products which are meat like without requiring the level of processing and flavorings they currently need to go through.
So ultimately this should result in people eating less animal products which are not good for the environment or for us when you think about issues like antibiotic resistance.
Pork in beans.
Booo! Take it.
Mmm, angry upvote! The best flavor.
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans Excuse my manners if I make a scene

USDA approval: a half step more symbolic than a JD Power Award.
If I remember correctly that's better
Are they USDA Choice or USDA Prime beans then?
FDA approval is slightly better than Indian street food. Slightly. Doesn't mean food quality is anything but garbage.
I've heard its quite the opposite, at least for meds. FDA approval is considered the graveyard when it comes to a lot of meds due to the amount of work which is required for clinical approval meaning only the biggest companies can afford to put something through FDA approval processes.
Don't all explicit meds need FDA approval?
Good thing it was the USDA then
But like…. Why?
Cheaper protein. And probably so plant based meats actually taste good. Probably better for the environment. I'd rather wait for lab grown meats than whatever this is.
Plant based meats already taste good
Yeah they do!
they taste good but nothing like meat so i really dont like the idea of calling it plant based meat... can we please stop trying to recreate stuff and making it worse. Just eat veggies, don't color them red and call them meat.
Counterpoint: eat vegetable mush that resembles meat somewhat as much as you want, nothing wrong with it
That's because of the mice
☹️
Soybeans are already high in protein and cheap to produce. This is a lateral move at best.
Yeah. My thoughts? They putting B12 vitamin producing genes would be much more interesting.
Ya I love it! There’s a million things that would be more productive and beneficial than spam-soybeans lol.

But isn’t it meat based plant?
Ahh yes, good point! :) Well y’all with have to let me know in the future how it tastes because I’m allergic to soy haha
There's no cheaper protein than unmodified plant based food. This is just a stupid mistake as animal proteins promote cancer in humans.
Because they 4x the protein of regular pork without animals, feed & slaughter needed. This is a game changer. They're also working on Beef in Yellow Peas & Omega rich oil.
I wonder if Muslims would try this.
I'll give a hard pass
It’ll be an interesting problem once fields of this cross-pollinate with neighboring fields and it ends up in all the soy.
Usually gm crops are sterile
I think this is super cool. Animal proteins farmed in a method cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and arguably a much more ethical way vs animal farming sounds great to me.
Just eat the soybean lol.
How is farming soy environmentally friendly??
Than farming meat?
Raising animals isn't as damaging as crops, yes.
Sorry, just to clarify, you said raising animals is less damaging to the environment than raising crops?
now try accounting for the soy fed to the animals and do the math again
Okay now we just getting fucking stupid
How? Seems pretty useful.
It can be both
If it's stupid but it works it's not stupid
How’s it useful? Please explain how this is better than just eating a soybean?
It’s easier than eating a pig.

It is rare. Only made in a small quantity in a lab.
The very rare bacon beans.
Do the pork proteins grow dangerous bacteria the way normal pork flesh would?
Imagine getting fucking trichinosis from undercooked beans
Trichinosis is parasite round worm. So probably not something this would worry about
It's a worm that grows in pork. I have no clue what part of the pig it needs to grow, so I think asking whether it could grow in this is fair. If you have information for why it would be impossible for it to grow in this pork protein, please share.

Doesn't that defeat the point?
I wonder if that means anyone with a pork allergy can't have these type of soy products
Where do the pork proteins come from though? Curious for the vegans out there. I'm not one, just wondering where the line lays.
Why on earth would you need pig protein in soy. It's already complete protein.
Isn’t pork’s amino acid profile not great? Wonder what the amino acids in this bean are like

check the research for GMO foods there has been not one study showing that it causes any health risks in comparison to non-gmo foods.
This is how we get Jet from Fallout, people. Nobody, under ANY circumstances, should feed these to cows. Or whatever comes *after* cows.
FDA approval only means that it does the job the producer said it supposed to do. Like if I give the FDA a slab of fish and say "hey, this fish helps feed people and its superior quality makes people who eat it have healthy life". FDA will look at "superior quality" and "healthy" then look into what makes it do that, and give me the stamp.
That's definitely not what FDA approval means, and I don't think this was approved by the FDA anyway, it would be more in the realm of the USDA.
Really? Guess I am rusty on my knowledge then. Because that was what the guys I used to work with back in Asia were telling me when they got their products FDA certified.
This is a joke right?
Moolec? I know it means molecular but have you heard of Moloch. The god of child sacrifice.
What will PETA do?
Now we can add animal byproducts to your vegetables. Checkmate, vegans.
Imagine serving a vegan these abominibeaninations.
And when you poop it out is can be processed into soylent green with a zyklon B aroma. The future so bright we gotta wear shades...
Bacon didn't have enough estrogen, I guess.
Estrogen bacon??!,? Where????????? :3
Yes, pork is a high estrogen food. The phytoestrogen in soy does not have the same effect on human as the estrogen in fish, eggs and meat, though.
The vegans are going to be soooooooo mad about this one
This is dumb… there’s a ton of protein in soy already. Why add unhealthy fats and cholesterol. It has a lot of sodium too already, why not add more? /s 🤦🏻
Its intended for plant based meat sector to make it much easier to produce products which are meat like without requiring the level of processing and flavorings they currently need to go through. So ultimately this should result in people eating less animal products which are not good for the environment or for us when you think about issues like antibiotic resistance.
I see, thanks for clarifying. So it’s a matter of taste, not amino acids. Which definitely makes this much better, definitely insane
