Fair enough on 1/10 vs 1/4 pound. Better McDonalds number: they will sell me a quarter pounder with cheese for $3.79, and that includes all the logistics, prepa

Fair enough on 1/10 vs 1/4 pound. Better McDonalds number: they will sell me a quarter pounder with cheese for $3.79, and that includes all the logistics, preparation, overhead etc. And yeah your bulk price is a better number anyway :) Fast food is mind blowingly cheap though, and yeah maybe higher end things will help move down the cost curve, but I think the technical difficulties around cell culture are truly massive. I'd be much more interested in things like making meat-like components out of yeast (easier to culture) than taking full on myocytes and culturing those to get a burger.
