    This is awesome! I had no idea lab grown meat was so close to being viable. I currently eat meat (with some guilt), and I can’t wait to get to the point where I can eat more ethically

      agreed, regardless of whether or not it’s ethical to raise animals for meat, the way we currently do it is an eldritch abomination where “cage free” chicken are kept so tightly packed they will peck each other to death unless debeaked, and where “cut from neighbors knife” is a common injury report at slaughterhouses.

      Yeah I’ve been about 50/50 with plant based beef and chicken. I’m extremely excited for this. Might be the final nail in the coffin for Big Meat

        Yeah I’ve had some plant based alternatives at restaurants that I’ve really enjoyed but I’ve never had any luck making it at home. I like simulate nuggs air fried, but what I really want is a way to make an impossible burger at home as good as my local burger shop can.

          The only things I really make at home with “hamburger” and is tacos and shepherds pie. In those cases I think the impossible beef is good enough. Not great. But good enough.
