Some companies (e.g. Vow) are focusing on producing niche deluxe products that are generally unavailable to the public. Dodo is one of the animals that are considered in cultivated meat because then they won’t be directly competing with the traditional meat industry.
They have already made a mammoth burger (sort of).
I get the point, but, well… Have you tried bread!? It’s pretty bloody awesome and amazingly versatile! Pickled cabbage is alright, but BREAD! Come on! Discounting ethical considerations, I would 100% choose bread over meat any day.
Side note: apparently ships could keep a Galápagos tortoise unfed and unwatered in their holds for up to 6 months before they slaughtered them for food. This sounds like a truly torturous death, but from a practical view this would certainly explain why they are now endangered.
Dodo birds went extinct for a reason, Galápagos tortoises are almost there too.
I reckon they must be delicious, cultivated meat is likely the only way we’re ever going to find out what the big deal is. If we can find out without slaughtering an animal then I can see no downsides.
The ruling means far-right leader Marine Le Pen could face a five-year political ban if her party is convicted in an ongoing embezzlement trial.
My dream is to one day read a news article about a court decision that actually has final concrete repercussions, and not something that will likely end up with 2-3 more appeals later down the track.
That map is not complete. Here’s the full version:
Late response, but well, late’s better than never.
The initial constitution of Gran Colombia (which also included Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela) allowed for jus soli (lit. ‘right of soil’ i.e. citizenship by being born in a particular location).
This joint state failed for a variety of reasons (e.g. colonial influence, regional disputes) and each country had to amend/rewrite their respective constitutions. Colombia rewrote their constitution to remove jus soli citizenship after the breakup.
Historical records aren’t precise, but after Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela separated, the remains of Colombia (the initial ‘parent’ country) likely faced an immigration crisis from the ‘new’ nation-states. Adding additional restrictions on migration when rewriting the Constitution after the breakup was likely an attempt to respond to the immediate migration crisis.
