Singapore Becomes First Country to Approve Sales of Lab-Created Meat
Eat Just Inc., a maker of meat and egg substitutes, has been approved to sell its laboratory-created chicken in Singapore, which becomes the first government to allow the sale of cultured meat.
The product, created from animal cells without the slaughter of any chickens, will debut in Singapore under the GOOD Meat brand as a chicken bite with breading and seasoning in a single restaurant. Eat Just is initially working with local manufacturer the Food Innovation and Resource Centre to make the cultured chicken. Additionally, the company is buying more equipment to expand sales to other restaurants – and eventually grocery stores.
“We want Singapore to be the focus of our manufacturing globally,” Chief Executive Officer Josh Tetrick said in an interview. “They’re just really forward thinking in building an enabling environment for this kind of work.” He added that the chicken’s flavor and taste are the same as the real thing. Singapore is moving quickly to allow the sale of cultured meat, a move that fits into its broader food-security agenda. The densely populated nation, which relies mostly on other countries for food, has deepened its focus on getting enough to eat for its 5.7 million people as the Covid-19 crisis exposes fragility in supply chains worldwide.
In response to the pandemic, Singapore is trying to produce 30% of its own food by 2030, up from less than 10% today. It has recently accelerated funding for local farms. “Singapore has really spent a lot more time and energy getting this right than Western Europe and the U.S.,” Tetrick said.
The new chicken product will be priced similar to premium chicken for the first six months, Tetrick said, adding that the cost will come down over time as the company builds global scale. “Eventually we want to get to the place where it is significantly more cost effective than conventional production.” That could take a while, since chicken is one of the most inexpensive proteins. In the U.S., it’s also the most popular – with consumption being higher than that of any other meat. Grocery stores regularly sell $5 whole rotisserie chickens, and some restaurants offer $1 chicken sandwiches.
At the same time, fast-food chains and grocery stores have been rapidly adding meat alternatives to their menus. While cultured meat is real meat, and not a plant-based substitute, it can be marketed as more humane and environmentally sustainable.
In Singapore, cultured burgers may be next. Eat Just is planning to submit its application for lab-created beef there during the first half of next year. The approval process for cultured meat products is moving slower in Europe and the U.S.
San Francisco-based Eat Just, which isn’t yet profitable, is planning an initial public offering in the U.S. at some point.

They just steal shit from here and re-package it as own-some organic things they have done so not pissing on it as I'm sure it's helped some.
It's probably fagbit (8bit) and fapjack.
With a sprinkling of whomever they could muster to play the game.
Not well imo
ADP: Private Employment increased 307,000 in November
Private sector employment increased by 307,000 jobs from October to November according to the Novembe ADP National Employment Report®. … The report, which is derived from ADP’s actual payroll data, measures the change in total nonfarm private employment each month on a seasonally-adjusted basis.
“While November saw employment gains, the pace continues to slow,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. “Job growth remained positive across all industries and sizes.”
This was below the consensus forecast for 420 thousand private sector jobs added in the ADP report. The BLS report will be released Friday, and the consensus is for 500 thousand non-farm payroll jobs added in November. Of course the ADP report has not been very useful in predicting the BLS report.

Here is today's 'excuse' for a down market.
the small amount of time I spent on it, last year during the shutdown, confirms this.
There are a few that give credit that I saw but for the most part the twatter-verse is still the same shit I refused to engage in years ago.
How many pictures of dinner can you tweet?
