Lab grown chicken? Are you ready?

[Omega Man]

Saw this on CBS Sunday morning-


Somehow Soylent Green comes to mind

Maybe when BMW starts to include an Air-Fryer (with rotisserie) on the next generation motorcycles?

The chickens seem somewhat happy.

Gross is all I can say. Nothing is natural anymore and I wonder what all that GMO food will do to us in the long term….

Nice to see progress, I can see this working better than the bean based meat alternatives.

Hopefully the taste and consistency is similar enough most people would be hard to tell the difference without being told. Then I think this can catch on.

I've had soy-based chicken & beef, and lab-grown meat, and both were okay.

Both versions utilize considerably less resources & money and produce considerably less waste. Like electric vehicles (GM has committed to only electric vehicles at some point), it might be the way of the future.

I’d eat it…

but won’t pay extra for the privilege. Interesting that the corporate chicken empire has taken note, and is getting in on the ground floor. My main concern would be for the livelihood of the small time chicken farms and farmers, which I (admittedly) know nothing about. I just think they may somehow get squeezed, and then crushed.

What ever happened to the powdered orange juice that they developed for astronauts, Tang...I think?

Tang, it’s still around.

I’m on a strictly GMO diet (except for whiskey) so this lab chicken is right in my wheelhouse.

I've had an Impossible Burger and thought it was actually pretty good. I'll try lab grown chicken. I just want the protein and if I can work with it just like regular chicken, so much the better. We roast chickens here pretty regularly, but after the first meal, we tend to take them apart to make other dishes with the chicken as a component. Lab grown chicken seems ideal for our "second use" chicken recipes.

Probably not gonna have any leftover bones for making bone broth or chicken stock, I guess.
