Thank you for referring to these giants of erev rav-dom as what they are! Every ruling, every opinion, every side they take is the wrong one when it comes to the good of the Jewish people.

And here I thought I was the only "conspiracy theorist" connecting the dots. Yashar Koach and Gmar Tov, Chananya.

We weren't commanded to corrupt the way animals are raised. Factory farms are not what Hashem meant.

"...ACTUAL meat, which is natural and healthy, which we have a mitzvah to eat, which is an integral part of our holy service of Hashem and the atonement process..." What do you think makes meat healthy? It's not, it causes CVD blood pressure ,high cholesterol, cancer and more. If we only ate meat as a mitzva in the Bais HaMikdash that would be ok; if animals were raised for holy sacrifices for us that would be ok. But factory farming for us to eat animal products every day and using the animal's fluids and the fetal bovine fluids to make biological products is actually avoda zara and totally inappropriate; because its taking a limb from a living animal and sacrificing both the mother and offspring on the same day. Making fake meat is also avoda zara; the heme is taken from separating FBS. The OU has lost their sechel.

Brilliantly written, just a tiny comment: no such thing in this world as "lab grown meat"! If you believe this ludicrosity then you might also believe that they can produce babies in "artificial wombs", or that Elon intends to, let alone is capable of travelling to Mars (alas he can't)! The reality is that they can't produce anything out of meat in a lab except mold! What they actually use is human flesh harvested mainly from Chinese prisoners, heavily processed with multiple additives including the worst parts of beef & bugs, for taste color & texture which is then shaped into traditional cuts of meat including - try not to throw out now - burgers.

Really meat and animal food is not healthy and we fon't need it to live. If yidden would refuse to eat it except in the Bais Hamikdash, we'd have our 3rd Bais HaMikdash. We could change the world as a community but Yidden are totally into the avoda zara of eating yogurt cheese and milk in their coffee. Yes we should eat animals that are sacrificed. No we shouldn't participate in the avoda zara of the disgusting factory farming routine.

There are practices that you may not be aware of like killing a mother and its offspring on the same day in order to produce FBS for vaccine production. When mommy cows are too tired to give milk they remove the fetus (taking a limb if an animal) and they put a pipelike instrument into the heart of the still living fetus in order to extract its blood (taking a limb from an animal) and then they separate the blood into serum FBS for vaccine products and the red heme for fake meat production.

Back when everyone was looking for the submarine and discussing the merits of whether these ppl should be saved, it had already imploded, and US knew w/in minutes of it, I'm sure. The FDA green lit fake vat grown chicken, no protest, bc majority of ppl were distracted by just what was clouding the peoples vision.

The FDA also sais no warning label would be needed. Read that AGAIN.

Im sure it will be okayz thwy have been practicing for 2-3yrs

I don't really hear any argument.

1) The video produced by OU seems to be an explainer of what is "clean meat", so it explains the goyishe context of why and what it is. Is that called "pedaling goyishe ideas", perhaps. I wouldn't want my kids to watch that (or any) video. However, it was not meant to be a halachic explanation of anything.

2) If the idea of kosher certifying falsha-treif is the issue, nothing new here. Unfortunately even good heimishe hekshers are currently certifying shratzim on sushi.

3) If you're upset at the OU's pandering to the goyisha public (like through NY times), you will have to remember that the whole point of the OU is to be a halachik outreach organization for the modern-leaning public. It's trying to keep people "in the fold" (which is why it has a wide umbrella of halachik standards) so, obviously is will be marketing focused on that segment.

If this article is just the rehashing of the above mentioned pain that is so repulsive to sincere yidden, thank you.

When you examine how they make the meat it is made i from dead cows and calves and cultivated in bovine broth which is not necessarily free of pathogens, there is also the issue of possible contamination very sneakily with the poisonous plasmids or bacteria with the plasmids that will produce poisons in your body once they get in. And if they put different ones in different batches they can poison you sneakily because the combination will make snake poison and people will drop dead the same as from the plasmids in the covid jabs. It's very problematic and people need to be warned. Dr Ardis has explained all this and it would be interesting to get his opinion on this.
