OMG OMG OMG!!! I’ve been waiting for this for decades!!! I love animals, but i wasn’t able to give up meat, so this is exactly what I’ve been hoping for!!! I’ve tried the plant based fake meats like Beyond and Impossible, but they don’t even come close to the real thing. My body craves real meat, but my mind hates all suffering, so perfect cultivated meat is my dream!
Please please please i hope this tastes exactly like the real thing!

I have good feeling for the effects on environment tbh, because it changes a lot of ethical and environmental concerns. Some of them will definitely be gone for good.
I get this is positive, but it saddens me to hear people comment now I can start eating more ethically. There have always been vegan options available. They have been there this whole time, this is merely another option out there, the majority of people will still prefer the “real thing”.
The only victim the in the situation is the Animals, their gauntlet of suffering from our hands must come to an end.
We can rail forever about how vegetarian and vegan options have been available to the majority for quite a while now, but the simple fact of the matter is that meat isn’t something a lot of cultures will budge on. Grown meat is the only realistic path towards substantially reduced animal suffering in the “near” future
For someone like me, there honestly aren’t many options. I’m allergic to soy, which eliminates a LOT of vegan meat alternatives. I do mostly eat the options I can have rather than eating meat, but a lot of these options are relatively new and have most certainly not “been there this whole time”.
Rice, Beans, Fruits, Vegetables, Seeds, Grains, Nuts, Berries. Eat a variety of those and no animals need to die. There are plenty of vegans with Soy allergies. https://www.livekindly.com/9-vegan-proteins-to-eat-when-youre-allergic-to-soy/
I hope that is helpful, and my sentiment is not to gaslight anybody with dietary restrictions. There is a TON of money being spent to ensure people stay uneducated on what foods are actually healthy to eat.
Honestly a diet of just those foods sounds miserable - I’m also allergic to nuts so that’s not an option either. Kudos to the people that decide to limit their diet so much to go vegan, but no one is obligated to do so. People are allowed to be excited that there is going to be a more ethical version of food they enjoy
So I want to clarify here, I know this is a tough subject. I hope to not make anybody feel uncomfortable when I’m sharing my opinion on the internet and if I did so I truly apologize.
People can do incredible things when they have the motivation. I.E. Felipe Nunes. He is a pro skateboarder who does not have legs. He could easily say, “i don’t have legs, therefore skateboarding is not an option”. Though, he had motivation to do it anyways. Right now, you might not have that motivation to do a thing, while knowing that thing is good. I have 27 years of eating meat, and 6 years of being vegan, i just didn’t have any motivation to do it until a traumatic event shifting my perspective. Not everyone will go vegan, it would be cool, but it certainly is possible for a huge majority.
That’s cool! If I saw this in my supermarket I’d def try it.
Can’t wait until this is in grocery stores!
I guess it’s a start, but from the pictures I’ve seen, it looks more like a mechanically separated chicken product than good whole muscle meat. Maybe okay for applications that involve a lot of processing like a breaded and fried thing, or stews/curries where it’s going to be cooked for an extended time with a lot of added flavour. This is a long way from replicating something like a grilled chicken breast.
What’s the number of its carbon footprint?
I’m super interested in information about purine levels in the various cultivated meats that will hit the market soon. There’s also a company called Wildtype that’s trying to get their grown salmon into the market. I’ve heard it’s sushi grade… It would be great if I could eat sushi and steak again. Off to eat my salad now, bye y’all!
I’ve been watching Wildtype excitedly for some time, I’ll definitely jump at the first chance I get to try it!
as an omnivore dating a vegetarian who doesn’t eat meat for ethical reasons i am so, so excited!!!
This is amazing! I can not wait to eat more ethically.
Last time i checked in on cultivated meat, it seemed like collecting fetal bovine serum required them to do a lot of slaughtering, which kind of defeats the point. Have there been any advancements in that area?
Really interesting, thank you!
Well if that’s true then this is fantastic news!
Great news. I think we’re still not quite there yet with cultivated meat, but it has great promise. Cultivated meat has the potential to be cheaper, far more environmentally friendly, obviously more ethical, and maybe even healthier. I hope it reaches full scale production with all these benefits in my lifetime.
Hopefully, while not being harmful.
I can’t imagine it would be worse than traditional meat - no antibiotics, bits of bone, disease, etc. Bacterial contamination is the only concern I can think of, but that affects every category of food.

You commented twice
That’s where my mind goes as well. I am more so talking about unforseen concerns. Don’t get me wrong. As soon as it is widely available and affordable I will totoaly eat it, I just worry there might be something we are missing. It’s kind of a human tradition.
I am certain that lab grown meat will be one of the most heavily scrutinized advancements in food technology probably ever. If there’s even a hint that something is wrong with it the news will be everywhere.
But where will we get our daily pesticides requirements if there’s no animal to eat the chemically protected crops?
This is super exciting! Been waiting a long time for this
This is awesome! I had no idea lab grown meat was so close to being viable. I currently eat meat (with some guilt), and I can’t wait to get to the point where I can eat more ethically
Yeah I’ve been about 50/50 with plant based beef and chicken. I’m extremely excited for this. Might be the final nail in the coffin for Big Meat
Yeah I’ve had some plant based alternatives at restaurants that I’ve really enjoyed but I’ve never had any luck making it at home. I like simulate nuggs air fried, but what I really want is a way to make an impossible burger at home as good as my local burger shop can.
agreed, regardless of whether or not it’s ethical to raise animals for meat, the way we currently do it is an eldritch abomination where “cage free” chicken are kept so tightly packed they will peck each other to death unless debeaked, and where “cut from neighbors knife” is a common injury report at slaughterhouses.
Well, fancy meeting you out here too!
I’ll be interested to see what my decidedly vegetarian SO thinks about this (I’m mainly vegetarian but am more omnivorous). We opt for Impossible where available, and it’ll be interesting to see if either of us gravitate to it. As of now I’m reacting to it the way I do balut; I’m fine eating duck and I’m fine with egg, but I have quite mixed feelings about the in-between balut. Similarly, I’m fine with chicken and I’m fine with Impossible faux-chicken, but this new in-between real-but-synthetic chicken will take me some getting used to.
This is a huge a step forward!
