I doubt it'll ever taste as good as the real thing, but I can certainly see it eventually being cheaper if we ever cut out the massive subsidies.
Well im no scientist so maybe someone smarter can comment. However if it becomes possible to design every aspect of the meat artificially then it seems to me that it's pretty much guaranteed that it will taste better. You could produce the perfect fat to meat ratio in every steak without the anitbiotics and animal stress that affect farmed animals
I think there will be a huge market for endangered animal meat. Imagine having dodo wings and a mammoth steak for dinner.
They're already on it.... https://theconversation.com/a-mammoth-meatball-hints-at-a-future-of-exotic-lab-grown-meats-but-the-reality-will-be-far-more-boring-and-rife-with-problems-203243 and https://www.primevalfoods.co/ are along the same lines.... Tiger tacos? I guess a gimmick that leads to less dead animals is a net positive, it's just such a weird world.
Imagine if you could get a sample of your own ass and grow it into a steak
That would give new meaning to the phrase "eat my ass."
