Interestingly, the US conservatives have been attacking lab-grown meat lately. So expect similar attacks to start showing up here soon.
Personally I would love to have more alternatives. I enjoy trying out alternative protein sources, not for ideological reasons. I just enjoy flavours and textures. And if they happen to be better for the environment, well bonus!
Looks like the same guys were doing publicity around 2019 https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2019-07-30/australia-joins-lab-grown-meat-industry/11360506
At the time, they claimed the cost to make a single hamburger was $30-$40, and now 4 years later, they claim to have gotten it down to $5-$6 per patty.
The article claims the first demonstration of a lab-grown hamburger was in 2013.So 6 years from proof of concept to (probably) first capital raise, then 4 years to start regulatory approval, 1 year for approval to take place (target is March next year).
That’s pretty impressive. Would mean that claim for the $1 pricing to be quite realistic.
Would be very interested to see how their lab grown steak goes. Do their meats include fat?
Apart from the meat slurry barf factor 🤮 its incredibly environmentally unfriendly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0zCf4Yup34
I wouldn’t listen to this guy on climate/vegan issues, he has a history of making up bullshit.

Also, why is lab made meat more barf inducing than real living animals being abused and killed for profit/taste?
if ppl really dont wanna eat meat: eat vegetables and the like. dont try to create fake meat
