Not sure what to make of meat from a lab? Here’s our explainer from last season’s Serving Up Science:

Winterblink@Sheril Kinda curious how this will taste. I'm okay with plant based meat alternatives like Beyond and Impossible so a lab grown version of meat would be an interesting try.
No doubt it's going to face a massive uphill battle waged by traditional meat producers and lobbyists out there.

@Sheril but it isn't meat!
Murray Lang@Sheril I'm not sure what to make of McDonald's (the world's most elaborate practical joke in history, it seems to me)
I believe that prawn is the easiest texture to achieve with lab meat. In that case, why go further? I love prawns.

🌼 Dagnabbit, Pascaline! 🌼@Sheril I am all for it. So many pros, few cons. Plus: it's not only cultivated but this is done under strict circumstances; this should be safer to use, and could have benefits. The only thing is that it still needs a lot of energy to grow this meat. But compared to the regular meat (which means; killed suffering animals 🙁) it seems such a better option.
@Sheril Okay, finished watching it, very nice! And yes, I would be willing to sample it although I don't eat meat. I would do it for science 😊
Nihl L'Amas@Sheril I don't feel right eating meat which never sat in its own shit.
thrashbandicoot@Sheril why bother waiting for lab grown meat when there are perfectly good meat alternatives readily available today?
Parttimesailor@Sheril yuck…too close to Soylent Green
Utsav Ratti@Sheril To me, this is like breakfast cereal: pseudo-food that’s unnecessary at best and at worst another vector for human disease.
