Given the issues with "whole" organisms which are genetically modified, and our continuing "tiny keyhole" understanding of nutrition, it seems very unlikely that lab grown meat will be nutritionally comparable as real meat.
- mvzink 15y agoNot comparable, but that doesn't mean worse. It will be easier and cheaper to provide good nutrition to artificial meat than it is to whole cows. It's easy to imagine that the cost-cutting inhumanity of ranches includes poor nutrition. Besides that, few people eat beef for its nutrition (beyond the protein), and McDonald's meat is probably more tuned for 1) ease of production and 2) taste than nutritional value.
