Price? With the economy, it'll be cheaper to wait for the pigs to reach our local market instead
It's expensive and not without issues now, but it's a new technology. But it's also harder to market for the masses, who may indeed prefer the animal to the bioreactors for their own prejudice. I do not expect cultured meat to be cheap and available anytime soon.
What a short sighted opinion my dude.
I have 19/19 sight. Thank you very much
Fantastic. I can't wait to have cruelty free meat products
Where do the stem cells come from in a cruelty-free scenario?
animals
I've been waiting for that for so long. Just hope governments and people give it a fair chance instead of jumping rashly negative conclusions just because it is lab grown. So is beer, and cheese, and most other things we consume.
Italy's politicians in a fantastically backward and utterly brain farted move has made "synthetic meat" outlaw, for study, production, sale and consume, like already some months ago, just to please the local (read: national) farmers lobby. Or at least they adverised as they did... forgive me I kinda lost hope and interst as well.
Gotta love the totally-not-neofascist Meloni government :(
I mean, with modern sausages, it's mostly trash or overpriced. They taste like they have 5% meat, 95% sawdust.
No idea where you get your sausages but look elsewhere
This stuff was basically ready to go minus scaling up two decades ago. They were still working on adding marbling and texture into steaks that could fool you in a blind test, but amazed it’s taken this long to get to sausages.
I think you got your timing wrong. The first prototype of cultured meat was presented 2013 and costed about 250.000 € back then. "Minus scaling up" was and is a pretty big issue.

I like the idea, and I hope it scales to be significantly cheaper than murder sausage
Is that what you call your penis now?
hot
Ok can it be translated to meat on the table with costs and impact being less than actual pig slaughtering? I wouldn't even mind the taste being a little different
