Cultivated meat is coming to the US. Whether it’ll clean up emissions from food is complicated.

    I’ll try it.

    if it tastes the same, cooks the same, and costs no more than real meat, I’ll buy it a 2nd time.

    too many “alternatives” lack the same taste, or have 45+ ingredients, or don’t brown in the pan the way that real meat does, or are 4x the price.

    for vat-grown meat to have any appeal to and adoption by the masses it has to be identical to the real thing, in looks, in price, and in taste.

      Not necessarily. In the unlikely scenario it was tastier, it could even fetch a better price despite not being the same. In some circumstances (really stringy old meat from a stressed animal) this is not so unlikely, actually. There is plenty of ‘real meat’ I have no desire to touch twice.
