Summary: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved the sale of cultivated chicken grown directly from animal cells in the United States. The product is produced by GOOD Meat, a division of Eat Just, Inc. and is an alternative to traditional meat derived from cells in a lab. The company has stated that this is a major moment for their company and the industry as a whole.
They can keep it. I won’t be trying it.
Any reason, besides “new thing bad”?
No not that just a personal choice
Would there realistically be anything that would change your mind on trying it, e.g. if it were significantly cheaper than traditional meat, if it were endorsed by any particular chef (or other person), safety guarantees by FDA, all of the above? My question is honestly just to try to figure out what these companies would need to do so that they’re not just trying to push other meat alternatives out of the market, but rather to try to achieve the environmental objectives they seem to be working toward.
No OP, but as a vegan I won’t be eating this because it still involves the captivity and exploitation of animals.
Of course the amount of suffering is much reduced compared to the current animal industry, so I do agree that this technology is overall a positive development.
