Great news. I think we're still not quite there yet with cultivated meat, but it has great promise. Cultivated meat has the potential to be cheaper, far more environmentally friendly, obviously more ethical, and maybe even healthier. I hope it reaches full scale production with all these benefits in my lifetime.

Hopefully, while not being harmful.

I can’t imagine it would be worse than traditional meat - no antibiotics, bits of bone, disease, etc. Bacterial contamination is the only concern I can think of, but that affects every category of food.

That's where my mind goes as well. I am more so talking about unforseen concerns. Don't get me wrong. As soon as it is widely available and affordable I will totoaly eat it, I just worry there might be something we are missing. It's kind of a human tradition.

I am certain that lab grown meat will be one of the most heavily scrutinized advancements in food technology probably ever. If there’s even a hint that something is wrong with it the news will be everywhere.
