Look forward to lab-grown burgers and steaks!
- coldpie 4y agoMe too. Aside from the environmental improvements, there's some pretty cool stuff they could in theory do with this tech. Making consistent, perfect cuts of meat with little waste. It's early days, but this is pretty promising tech and I'm excited to see where it goes.

- adam_arthur 4y agoWheat has far less value per square meter. Haven't run the math, but generally the higher the value of the good, the more viable growing it indoors is. Shouldn't need a very large warehouse to grow a meaningful amount of beef. Presumably the lifecycle/turnover on that square footage is much faster too
