    These lab meats are completely unecessary. Vegan replacements for meat using cheap, ordinary grocery-store ingredients, have come a long way in the past few years, mainly due to the wizard-like powers of vegan chefs for experimentation and reverse-engineering. Look up any “X replacement” recipe on youtube, try it, and you’ll see how pointless “lab-grown meat” is.

      I applaud the meat replacement companies for making it and you for eating it, but the fact of the matter is that most people aren’t vegan or vegetarian. Around the world, meat consumption is rising. If products made from actual animals are to become a thing of the past, it will likely be through cultivated meat, dairy, etc.

        If these products (or similar products) are just as good and can come at a more competitive price, there’s no reason they won’t become a standard, especially in developing areas where meat is simply too expensive

        You don’t have to be strictly vegan or vegetarian to eat these products. I eat meat, but I’d rather eat a little less, if I can replace it with foods with similar nutritional content
