yuck....
No thanks. God-made meat is all I want or need.
Get your own dirt.
Another way the lefties make red meat look disgusting to get more people to go vegan.
the enormous price tag of 250,000 Euros, or $273,000.
I’ll stay with wagyu beef if you please.

Lab-grown beef
It’s all just 20 years away.
I’m waiting for fish.
Sounds like the food equivalent of battery powered cars.
Lab meat and global warming sex from prostitute women, the future is cool.
Awesome news! I can’t wait to taste it with my tofu.
Kremlin News go back to write titles in broken English, da?
There are many companies that have tried to develop alternatives to fetal calf serum. I've never come across a substitute that works.
Fetal calf serum is obtained when a pregnant cow is slaughtered. A single fetal calf might yield a liter of serum. That may cost several hundred dollars, depending on the supply of beef. Because growing cells in quantities sufficient to become a food supply requires a LOT more serum than I ever needed for growing cells for experiments in the lab, I'm not even going to begin to try to calculate how much it would cost to grow a pound of cells in a lab.
The bottom line is that this is unlikely to become less costly than natural meat, and will end up killing just as many, if not more, cows than needed just for meat. Because, to get all that serum, the cows have to be slaughtered while pregnant--which means two cows die, not just one. And more than one fetus will probably be needed to produce just a pound of lab meat. Researchers will still need the serum for experiments, which are (IMHO) more important than trying to shield people from the fact that animals are slaughtered for food.
One other complication is that researchers grow cells in plastic flasks or Petri dishes. The plasticizers leech quite readily into the culture medium used to grow the cells. While that isn't much of a concern when growing cells for experiments, I'm not certain that those plasticizers are a safe additive for food.
People just need to accept the fact that we are omnivores, and that means we do need to consume other animals in order to live. This is actually true of most animals; even some we consider herbivores do eat animal products on occasion. I caught my bunny at the cat food dish once...
Yeah, I’m thinking, no.
At $11.40, that is some burger. Where I come from, it is called “Soylent Green”.
I’m going out for a pizza very soon.
I’ve heard there is a method to growing hamburgers which involves self replicating organisms. The darn things run on just grass and water. No electricity.
yucko!
(but probably still a shade better than McD?)
$11.40 per burger patty is NOT econmical! Idiots.
I think I’m going to hurl after reading the description. After reading that, I don’t even want regular meat.
