"Grow meat in a lab" is missing a whole lot of middle steps, technologically.
Fakemeat is getting better every year, and synthetic heme and lab-grown protein promise meaty liquids that can be mixed into the veg-based solids to make even more convincing fakemeat in the future.
We may never get to the true "rib eye steak grown in lab" but there's a lot of middle-ground we can still cover.
- falcolas 10y agoForget replacing rib eye steaks; simply replacing hamburger would probably be a good 80% solution.
- Pxtl 10y agoRight, but that might be doable with textured vegetable protein with synthetic heme or lab-grown synthetic beef juices to give it that juicy umami flavour. Just the next step beyond what we have today.
