Yesterday, cultivated meat was cleared for sale in the US by the Department of Agriculture.

Not sure what to make of meat from a lab? Here’s our explainer from last season’s Serving Up Science:

Kinda curious how this will taste. I'm okay with plant based meat alternatives like Beyond and Impossible so a lab grown version of meat would be an interesting try.

No doubt it's going to face a massive uphill battle waged by traditional meat producers and lobbyists out there.

I'm not sure what to make of McDonald's (the world's most elaborate practical joke in history, it seems to me)
I believe that prawn is the easiest texture to achieve with lab meat. In that case, why go further? I love prawns.

I am all for it. So many pros, few cons. Plus: it's not only cultivated but this is done under strict circumstances; this should be safer to use, and could have benefits. The only thing is that it still needs a lot of energy to grow this meat. But compared to the regular meat (which means; killed suffering animals 🙁) it seems such a better option.

Okay, finished watching it, very nice! And yes, I would be willing to sample it although I don't eat meat. I would do it for science 😊

I don't feel right eating meat which never sat in its own shit.

why bother with lab grown meat when there are perfectly good meet alternatives readily available already?

To me, this is like breakfast cereal: pseudo-food that’s unnecessary at best and at worst another vector for human disease.
