Good morning and welcome to the final edition of The Download this year. And what a year it has been, eh?! A huge thank you for reading the newsletter, and most of all, thanks for your tweets, emails, and messages. The regular influx of “nice things” from readers has been a daily joy during this tough time. Let’s keep it coming in 2021. The Download will now take a break until January 4. We hope you have a good break if you’re taking one too, and can’t wait to see you on the other side.

Now, onto today’s news… why we’ll soon be able to eat “blended” lab-grown burgers, and we look at how and whether vaccine passport apps would work.

Your first lab-grown burger is coming soon—and it’ll be “blended”


In terms of industry buzz, cultured meat has never been hotter. At the end of 2016 there were just four firms working on it. By early 2020, that number had jumped to more than 50 startups around the world trying to re-create at least 15 different types of animal flesh, including pork, shrimp, chicken, duck, lamb, even foie gras—all without killing a living creature. 

But the product is still exorbitantly expensive compared with old-­fashioned meat, you can’t yet buy it at the supermarket, and for the most part it doesn’t look or taste much like the real thing. At least not on its own. 

While lab-grown meat was busy trying to find its way out of the petri dish, plant-based meat substitutes were undergoing a revolution. Firms such as Impossible and Beyond Meat broke through to the mainstream by cleverly mimicking the flavor and texture of ground beef, pork, and chicken using vegetable proteins and fats. These days you can pick up an Impossible Whopper at Burger King and Beyond Meat sausages in supermarkets in dozens of countries.

That kind of competition could be seen as bad news for cultured-meat startups. But a number of other entrepreneurs think it’s the opening they need to finally bring their creations to market—in the form of “blended meat,” melding the best of the plant-based and cultured-meat substitutes. Even the world’s biggest fast-food firms are interested: KFC has announced it will be working to produce blended chicken nuggets that could be available this year. 

Regardless of who gets there first, blended meat is coming, and it might not be long before you get a chance to taste it. Read the full story.

Will you have to carry a vaccine passport on your phone?

The idea: Now that vaccinations have started, there’s a growing debate over the need for “vaccine certification” or “immunity passports,” analog or digital tools to prove you’re vaccinated. Some experts champion them as a way to get back to normal life, while others warn about privacy risks and the potential for discrimination and abuse. 

Will I need one? There’s nothing new about needing to prove you’ve had a vaccine. This use case is just a lot more urgent, given governments, airlines, employers, universities, and many other groups are intensely debating how and why people will need to show verified health records.

Hold up there: Until we know whether vaccines stop people from catching and spreading the virus asymptomatically, vaccination credentials only prove that you received a vaccine on a particular date—not that you do not have and cannot catch the disease. 

In the meantime, a negative covid-19 test remains the best evidence that you’re not contagious. Vaccine passports can also be easy to forge, and it’s hard to link them up with existing healthcare systems, for example. These are just two of many reasons to be skeptical of a high-tech solution to this question. Read the full story.

—Lindsay Muscato and Cat Ferguson

Quote of the day

“The real mystery is the endgame. It seems like no one knows anything beyond the fact of it, and that, I guess you could say, is alarming.”

—Daniel Halpern, founder of the publishing company Ecco Press, tells the New York Times what it's like to be the victim of an international phishing scam that tricks writers, editors, and agents into sharing unpublished book manuscripts.

If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

Contributions Welcome

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:

I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com
I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry
If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
