Reminds me of cities banning cars to prevent horse drawn carriages from being obsolete. Stupid.

More republican virtue signaling bullshit

Also this was pretty lulzy:

Arizona State Rep. David Marshall, R-Snowflake, and four co-sponsors have introduced House Bill 2121, prohibiting cell-cultured animal products.

I thought the article was dunking on him at first, but it turns out Snowflake isn't just a conservative state of mind, it's also a small town in Arizona.

I'm excited to try lab grown meat when it's more widely available. It's one of the few upcoming technologies that I can actually fully get behind.

Lab grown meat huh....
Anyone can tell me the taste of lab grown meat compared to natural meat ?

Reports say they taste identical, because it's literally the muscle being grown.

Your assumption is that all meat tastes the same. Try eating a free range Argentinian steak and a cheap Tesco value steak... They are not the same.

I cannot judge grown meat, but meat taste greatly varies

It's often parroted by people who haven't had meat, ever. Because even different parts of the same animal have different texture. And meat quality depends massively on the diet and upbringing the animal had.

Doesn't matter if you know how to prepare it properly.

Yes and no.

Preparation can work wonders but it won't make you think you're eating venison when you're actually eating Tesco value horse meat

Yes, but you can make the horse meat delicious...not comparable just delicious

Absolute 100% grade A bullshit.

Yes you can make a decent cheap steak good but in no way are you going to get as good a cook as a as a highly rated prime cut.

You are talking straight out of your asshole on this one.

Oh wow, you've been hard at work. -3500 now! It was just yesterday I was praising you for making -2000!! ❤️

It's hard when I get so many up votes when I happen to agree with the hammer sickle mob.

It's been a year or so since I've looked into it, but from what I've seen the issue isn't taste, it's that the texture is awful. That'll obviously improve with time though.

I haven't tasted myself but the consensus from what I saw is that "is dry but very good" it doesn't cook well in a BBQ but in dishes works well.

It doesn't mean anything. When this product is mature enough and ready to be mass marketed, the bourgeoisie will simply do the good old lobbying of the government to unban it

This ban is completely pointless because lab grown meat will always be an expensive nieche product anyway.

It seems that way now, but we don't know how expensive it may or may not be in the future.

it may or may not be in the future

the problem is bioreactors just don't scale - at all. Maybe there's some kind of breakthrough but my personal opinion (as a biochemist working with bioreactors) is that not for a long time.

What is it about bioreactors that doesn’t scale?

Meat is also expensive if it wasn’t subsidized
