Does this mean no more plastic fed to pigs?

Uhh. That's meaningless? What's the energy/resource usage comparison.

Every one of these claims so far has been 100% Elon Musk style “FSD is ready to ship right now in 2017” kinds of claims.

There was a great article in the New Yorker (or one of those style mags) a month or so ago that just ripped the industry apart about the billions of dollars spent on products that were overhyped and never shipped. I know that we’re feeling the pain of contraction right now, but we were dumping buckets of money into ideas that were not vetted - it was like the late 90s.

So, like with autopilot for cars, I will believe it when I see it.

This stuff was basically ready to go minus scaling up two decades ago. They were still working on adding marbling and texture into steaks that could fool you in a blind test, but amazed it’s taken this long to get to sausages.

Rednecks on Facebook are already getting butthurt about this like this and asking lab grown meat to be banned

They're going on about stuff like cancer or whatever

So when can we realistically expect this to be a thing?
