- Nailgun 6y agoAre there any commercial products and has anyone tried it? I do recall some video somewhere of a US restaurant and people said it was reasonable but that could have been plant based.
- drewg123 6y agoThe company behind Just Egg is vat-growing cultured chicken. It is limited to Singapore for now. See https://goodmeat.co/ https://goodmeat.co/
- thatcherc 6y agoI'm intrigued and want to read more about this, but that site is crazy. Takes >10 seconds on my phone to load the 'experience' which is a long-form scrolljacking narrative that starts with the history of the chicken. Their FAQ page is really interesting, but I can't find a way to link directly to it.
- kart23 6y ago40 MB of transfer for an FAQ. wonderful. But yeah, it does look really cool and they say they are working with the FDA to bring it to the US.
- Layke1123 6y agoI tried the impossible burger at Burger King. I could not tell a difference personally from any typical fast food burger. Would buy it again to satisfy a craving.
- wavefunction 6y agoThat's not cultured meat. It's plant-protein based.
- Layke1123 6y agoSee my response to another poster.
- shmageggy 6y agoThe Impossible burger is not cultured meat, it’s a plant-based product. OP is referring to this https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/02/no-kill-lab-grown-meat-to-go-on-sale-for-first-time https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/02/no-kill-...
- Layke1123 6y agoAh I misread his wording. I thought he was just asking for someone's opinion on restaurants that had served any meat alternative product, not specifically lab grown meat.
- hiddevb 6y agoImpossible burger is still created from plants. "Clean" or lab grown meat isn't commercially available anywhere, it only exists is some labs AFAIK. It's sadly very expensive to make today. There are a few startups working on this, Mosa meat and meatable are some examples.

- mtgx 6y agoIs any of this stuff anywhere near as nutritious as real beef? I wonder what chronic diseases the next generations will have because of eating so much low-nutrition food.
- ebiester 6y agoI am interested in both, but we're still a bit away from cultured meat. We are closer than I expected we would be in 2021, though. See this press release from this week: https://www.perishablenews.com/meatpoultry/future-meat-technologies-reduces-cost-of-cultured-chicken-breast-below-10/ https://www.perishablenews.com/meatpoultry/future-meat-techn... That said, I think there is room for both. In the hamburger/chicken nugget space, I think plant based is going to keep beating cultured for the next decade - if cultured wins, it needs to figure out fat (afaik it still hasn't.)
- hntrader 6y agoSame. I'm highly sceptical of plant-based meat substitutes from a health perspective. There's so much we don't know about micronutrients, bioavailability, and the human body, I don't believe that these highly processed alternatives are fully known to be healthy replacements for real meat, even if they tick the macronutrient boxes of sufficient protein and B-complex. It strikes me as something akin to a tasty multivitamin at best. We're already so far removed from the way out ancestors ate meat (various organs, connective tissue) and this is yet another step away from that. Cultured meat seems to be a way to get the real thing without the negative side effects of environment damage and animal cruelty.
- f430 6y agoit will never scale.
- TulliusCicero 6y agoNever is a long time.
- f430 6y agoHow about, not in our lifetime? Not until the Federal government stops subsidizing the industry.
