>Without scale and centralization, cultured meat will be no different from any other food production method: expensive. Honestly, one of my takeaways was to consider investing in this Future Meat company. The above quote conflates two kinds of scaling: scaling the reactor (which Future Meat said they can't do) versus scaling the process. You don't need to build a bigger reactor if you can just build a really big machine that makes small reactors. And the great thing about this approach is that a huge bioreactor-building machine (poetically bioreactor-reactor) is invulnerable to contamination, heretofore the biggest problem in lab-grown meat. The natural comparison is to a car: building a single car will never be economically viable and never has been. But building 10 million cars is absolutely viable.
