W.R.T. Our research,
1. Do we need to talk about specific meat alternatives, food types or in general? Eg. Chicken and Beef plant based meat may differ in nutrition content and environmental impacts.

How do we compare across different types of meat when the process vary within each type of meat? Do we look at the entire industry at large? What should be our basis of comparison

2. What are the indicators to measure environmental impact?
3. Can we have further details on the study we are to do to substantiate our report? Any specifications for the survey e.g. sample size?

W.R.T. Task 2,

1. How should we format the video bulletin? like? Eg. Recorded zoom powerpoint presentation, skit or scripted video etc.

2. For our stand, should it be broad (in general) or should we delve deeper into which meat alternative we prefer and to what extent for each)

Bonus Question :)
1. Would you consider CBM vegan?

1. Is it possible for one to get sufficient protein from eating just plants?

2. What does the process of extracting cells from animals in the production of cell-based meat usually entail? What effect does this have on the animal?

3. What might be some ethical concerns of the production of cell based meat?

thank you! :-)

1)what are some some implications in technologies used to produce alternative meat?
2)are there any ethical concerns with regard to these alternative meat?
Thank you.

1. How do algae-based meat alternatives contain protein levels similar to or even greater than that of traditional meat? Some sources also mentioned that it contains amino acids, as well as vitamins such as B vitamins. How is this achieved, and do the costs of processing algae, both monetary and environmental, actually make it a viable alternative?

2. Currently, lab-grown meat has a higher carbon footprint than some traditional meat and most plant-based meat alternatives. However, proponents claim that streamlining the manufacturing process as well as growing the industry could lower this footprint so that cell-based meat alternatives become vastly more efficient, carbon-wise. Do you think this is technologically possible, and if so, how likely and how difficult would it be? We’ve seen sources claiming both that cultured meat is more sustainable, and sources claiming that it is actually less sustainable, so we’re a little confused here

3. Will traditional meat industries create enough pushback against meat alternatives to seriously impact their viability? Or is the growth of the alternative meat industry inevitable no matter what they do?

4. How much do you think that public perceptions of meat alternatives can be changed? For example, we saw articles describing plant-based meat as ‘fish food’, despite its relatively established nature. Is this simply a matter of not actively educating the public about meat alternatives?

Lastly, what format should our video be in? Is there a particular way of organising it, or a level of formality we should stick to beyond the requirements given?

Thank you very much!

1. Do we have to choose between plant-based and cell-based, or can we say that both are viable?
2. How many recommendations do we have to provide minimally?

- assuming the trend of switching to meat-alternatives continue rising, how sustainable will this trend be ? what are the implications on sectors like the animal-based meat economy, the culture of certain groups , the general public's attitudes ( ethical concerns , health risks of meat alternatives )
- based on certain sources , we have discovered that the taste of locally grown meat alternatives are worse than imported meat; will the compromised taste and quality of meat alternatives affect the public's perception to meat alternatives ?
- When do you think alternate meat will surpass regular meat and be accepted by the society as a whole (if ever)

Based on our preliminary research, we have found that lab grown meat, especially beef, need a certain fetal bovine serum for viable growth and differentiation of stem cells. What is the process of creating man-made FBS, and why does FBS work so well in cows as well as other animals? Also, is such a broad serum economically viable, or should researchers focus on niche FBS that may function only in selected animals? Does such research also have potential for applications in humans such as organ growth?

1. Besides limited resources and areas, do you think there are any factors that support why Singapore government choose meat alternatives to meet the demands from Singaporean?

2. If you are given the choice to choose meat alternatives or fresh meats, which one do you prefer and why?

3. What do you consider as trade- off, does it only includes the cost, the impact towards the environment or are there any aspects that can cause trade off?

Thank you for the attention given!
