Lab-grown meat.
βIn 2013, the worldβs first cultivated meat burger was served at a news conference in London. It allegedly cost $330,000 to make. That figure has plummeted in the almost-decade since, but cell-grown proteins are yet to clock in anywhere close to the same price as conventional meats.β (Source: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/lab-grown-meat)
The goal is to get the price down to a level the average supermarket shopper can afford, and if the science is successful it has the potential to revolutionize the food chain.
I can already buy impossible beef at my supermarket, it's not even that much more that regular beef. And most fast food places offer it as well.
Not the same thing though.
Is it not? It's literally grown in a lab. What is the difference?
It's made from soy. Not grown in a lab.
Oh ya, right, my bad.
It is super good, though.
Impossible beef is plant based. Lab grown meat is made from animal cells.
