      That’s nice, hopefully we can at the bare minimum get passed these shitty 3% meat real cat foods one day

      I really hope for this technology to be viable for human consumption, too.

      1. better for the environment
      2. better for the animals
      3. brings up the interesting moral conondrum whether you are a cannibal or not if you eat a hamburger made from lab grown human muscle tissue.

      Channel 4 made a faux documentary about lab grown meat in the supermarkets.. hahahaha did that go wild for a couple days.

      When everything is synthetic so many animals will go extinct and we will be even more dependent on mass production and large companies.

      Interesting, I can’t imagine it’s a particularly cheap option for creating pet food yet. Pet food I imagine is a good use of low grade meat generally unfit for human consumption.

      That said it is a good step to start establishing an actual market for lab grown meat to hopefully progress to something that will be more viable for humans.

      The ‘lets test it on animals before making it compulsory for humans’. Labour’s idea for net zero emissions and killing all the cattle.

      Good the normal way of making the stuff is horrifically inefficient we devote huge amounts of land to growing food for and raising animals for slaughter. Even if this doesn’t fully remove the demand for high quality meat, it could definitely fulfil the demand for the crap stuff
