I’m all for scientific progress to help out global nutrition, but something about this and other fake meat products just turns my stomach. I love the plant-based burgers, but anything with genetically engineered cells just trigger something in my brain that tells me to stay far away. I’m sure it’s irrational, but I can’t get over it.
edit: downvote all you want, it’s just my own opinion…
They’re downvoting you because you didn’t read the article. There’s no genetic manipulation involved, just ordinary cow muscle and fat cells. Lab-grown beef doesn’t need to be modified, we already put in thousands of years engineering the cows it comes from.

Fair enough.
