Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It’s the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.

Yeah that comment does not make much sense. Our bodies have to function every day moving around and doing things. The lab grown stuff just needs to make cells. It should be much closer to growing fungus or yeast.
Lab-Grown Meat’s Carbon Footprint Potentially Worse Than Retail Beef
It seems the crux of the issue is that current technology uses pharma-grade growing medium, which is very expensive and has a bigger footprint, and the hope is that scientists can figure out a “food-grade” medium that would have lower emissions. Since costs are also affected, I’m sure companies have a lot of incentive to look for a more efficient way.
The technology is still relatively young, so I’m on the board of “wait and see”.
