Lab-grown meat is now being pushed on children by one who is known as ‘Mr. Beast’:

Lab-Grown Meat Marketed to Children

January 30, 2026

Are we eating real, whole food? The USDA and FDA permit companies to sell barely consumable “food” filled with chemicals to the American public. Studies confirm that these processed foods often lead to health issues and have caused the nation to lead in the obesity epidemic. Prepare for the situation to worsen as lab-grown meat is now being marketed to children.

Lab-grown meat has been readily available for years, thanks in part to mega initiatives bankrolled by the likes of Bill Gates. …

Millions of children around the world subscribe to an online personality named Mr. Beast. He recently took his young audience for a tour of a $200 million plant run by Upside Foods that produces hundreds of thousands of pounds of fake meat. Mr. Beast (Jimmy Donaldson) explains to his young audience that “meat” grown from animal cells does not require slaughter. It requires less strain on the environment as water, land, and emissions are minimal. The online celebrity tells his young audience that it tastes as good as real meat, and strongly suggests normalizing lab-grown menu items.

Mr. Beast has partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation and has been called “the new Bill Gates.” The FDA and USDA has already provided Upside Food the authority to sell “cell-cultivated meat product” to the public. Mr. Beast’s role is peddling this fake food to children who are adaptable and more willing to accept new norms.

No one knows the health consequences of lab-grown meat on public health. …

The Food Safety and Inspection Service has not determined how they will label these products; therefore, you may be eating pre-cancerous fake meat cells without your knowledge in the near future. What easier way to ensure these products end up in your refrigerator than to market them to impressionable children who do not understand the dangers? https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/disease/lab-grown-meat-marketed-to-children/

As the above correctly states, the true health consequences of lab-grown meat are not fully known. There is no way to thoroughly test these laboratory creations in enough people for long enough to know what issues they could possibly cause.

But there are some known or suspected issues. Dr. Mercola put out new warnings about the globalist agenda and fake meat earlier this year:

Fake Meat Dangers with Dr. Joseph Mercola

January 5, 2026

  •  spoke with “Tea Time,” a program by Children’s Health Defense, about the dangers of fake meat products to help raise awareness about this latest assault on human health
  • Fake food — including lab-grown meat, animal-free dairy, and plant-based meat — is the globalists’ latest attempt to control the food supply
  • The globalists are trying to replace animal husbandry with lab-grown meat, which will allow private companies to effectively control the human population
  • The idea that animals need to be removed from agriculture to save the planet is flawed; animals are an integral, and necessary, part of the restorative process
  • Fake meat is an ultraprocessed mixture of chemicals, GE ingredients, pesticides, and toxic linoleic acid that will promote chronic disease …

Fake food — including lab-grown meat, animal-free dairy, and plant-based meat — is the globalists’ latest attempt to control the food supply. Former U.S. Secretary of State and national security adviser Henry Kissinger once said, “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control people.”2 Controlling people is their whole agenda. https://www.sgtreport.com/2026/01/fake-meat-dangers-with-dr-joseph-mercola-4/

Let me add that a 2024 study came forth showing that eating much of it seems to result in increased depression: https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/bill-gates-fake-meat-linked-to-severe-depression/

Increased rates of depression is an unintended consequence of some of the fake meats.

Regarding what looks to be another one of the unintended consequences, notice the following:

Bill Gates’ Fake Meat Linked to ‘Premature Death’, Study Finds

June 14, 2024

Researchers from the University of São Paulo and Imperial College London assessed the diets of more than 118,000 people living in the UK aged 40 to 69 years old. They found that those who ate Bill Gates’ fake meat products became severely sick and disease-ridden within a matter of months.

New York Post reports: Researchers found that for every 10% increase in plant-based foods, the risk of death from heart disease fell by 20%. Yet, when the increase in plant-based foods came from Bill Gates’ UPFs, it was linked to a 12% rise in heart disease-related deaths. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/bill-gates-fake-meat-linked-to-premature-death-study-finds/

The Bible warns about the “unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18) who are “inventors of evil things” (Romans 1:30), which I consider lab-grown GMO meat to be.

‘Mr. Beast’ does a lot on YouTube and promotes games he has been involved in designing. The following is his Twitter account header photo:

Now, as it turns out Mr. Beast also has a type of restaurant chain.

Forbes had the following headline about his ambitions some time back:

MrBeast Wants To Sell Lab-Grown Meat At His Burger Chain But Doubts People Will Eat It

https://www.forbes.com/sites/chloesorvino/2022/12/02/fresh-take-mrbeast-wants-to-sell-lab-grown-meat-at-his-burger-chain-but-doubts-people-will-eat-it/

What ‘better’ way to get people to want to eat it than to promote lab-grown ‘meat’ to kids?

Currently, the Mr. Beast Burger restaurants sell conventional beef as well as ‘Impossible Burgers’ patties. Impossible Burger patties contain genetically-modified organisms (GMOs).

As a scientist, let me state that the main tests for new “foods” or “food additives” are to look for acute reactions as well as if they increase the incidence of cancer in lab animals. They rarely check for much more than that and cannot possibly test for every possible consequence. It is not economically feasible to conduct the type of long-term studies that would be needed to insure true safety. Yet, many act like this has happened, when it has not.

I would also add that growing meat in laboratories is not the same as animals that are raised outside with exposure to sunlight, the earth, and a more varied diet. Plus, animals move around which also affects their muscles, whereas lab grown meat does not do that. Yet, some claim science is on the side of lab-grown meat and that it is completely the same. That is false science.

The Apostle Paul also warned Timothy:

20 … keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: (1 Timothy 6:20)

Even back in New Testament times, things that people claimed were science, were not. Lab-grown meat by scientists does not mean it is optimally healthy.

Additionally, we see many evil and bizarre genetic things happening. For example, scientists are combining a variety of animal genes as well as genes of creatures like spiders. Even humans and pigs (see Pig-Human GMOs proposed and British scientists insisting on human GMOs).

Why?

Love of money.

The Apostle Paul warned that, “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed” (1 Timothy 6:8).

Many ‘scientists’ have been silenced and/or strayed because of love of money, position, etc.

However, it should be understood that not all the GMOs and lab-meat developed will necessarily cause harm. But they have been pushed for profit and they simply have not been tested to insure that they cannot contribute to many types of chronic health complaints.

So, yes, I believe it is safer for my body to try to avoid them.

Bible warns:

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:20-22)

Pushers of GMOs act like they have wisdom that they could not have–the comprehensive long term studies to look at all the effects of GMOs have simply not been done, really could not be done safely, and are not intended to be done by the pushers of GMOs.

There are many bad things that are being done related to meat. Here is a video we put out related to chicken:

Lab grown chicken?

In November 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave its initial approval (with two almost-automatic approvals to come) for the sale and consumption of what is called ‘lab-grown chicken.’ The FDA said that this material was safe and part of what it termed a “food revolution.” Is what was approved actually a chicken? Is this consistent with those who are “inventors of evil things” (Romans 1:30)? Have lab-grown meat and genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) been proven to be safe in all ways and for sufficient lengths of time? Should human-animal chimeras be encouraged? Are there scriptures in the Bible that warn about love of money and that point to not eating something just because it may appear good to eat? Does the Bible mention that living organisms were to reproduce after their own kind? Does the Bible say to eat that which is good in Isaiah? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel go over these matters.

Here is a link to our video: Lab grown chicken?

Humanity’s tinkering with viruses and the food supply look to be setting the world up for the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse:

7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.” 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)

That said, there are also various unknown health risks with the ‘Frankenfoods’ that are being introduced into the food supply.

The Bible teaches:

2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good (Isaiah 55:2).

Eat what is good.

As far as which meats are good to eat, the Bible lists them in the 11th chapter of the Book of Leviticus and the 14th chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy.

The Bible also teaches:

3 You shall not eat any detestable thing. (Deuteronomy 14:3)

The Continuing Church of God put out the following sermon on its ContinuingCOG channel related to food:

1:07:48

Evil is Affecting the Food Supply

God gave humans food and said what He made was good. What about unclean animals? What about genetically-modified organisms (GMOs)? What about ‘bioengineered foods’? What about lab meat? What about human-cloned salami? What about ‘Piggy Sooy’? Are Christians supposed to eat what is good according to Isaiah 55:2? What should we eat? What should Christians avoid eating? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters and more.

Here is a link to the following: Evil is Affecting the Food Supply.

While many in the world, including Mr. Beast, support the invention and consumption of fake meat, I do not see that lab-grown meat is good.

I find it detestable.

UPDATE 02/08/26: We just uploaded the following video:

Mr. Beast, Children, and Lab Grown Meat

Who is Mr. Beast and what does he have to do with lab-grown meat and children? Mr. Beast is popular with children on YouTube. Additionally, he has the ‘Mr. Beast Burger’ chain that sells ‘Impossible Burgers.’ He recently produced a program targeting children that promoted the so-called benefits of lab grown chemicals, I mean lab-grown meat. Are ‘globalists’ like Bill Gates behind lab grown meat? Who stands to benefit from the sale of lab grown meat? What are “lab grown meats”? Are they healthy? Are they safe? If the USDA and the FDA allow lab grown meat to be sold to your children, that must mean they are safe, right? Or maybe not. Is there a lot of science behind this, or perhaps money? Have any claimed that laboratory grown meats may contribute to depression or even premature death? How much testing has been done on these ‘cultured meat’ products? Children don’t know the answer. Do you? Henry Kissinger once said, “…control the food and you control the people.” Is that what this is about? Starting with our children, will lab-grown meat ultimately allow certain people and governments to control the food supply and thereby control “We the People”? Could any of this tie in with the deadly ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical truth on “the love of money.”

Here is a link to our video: Mr. Beast, Children, and Lab Grown Meat.

Be leery of lab-grown meat.
