“The analysis indicates that the cost of production of cultivated chicken could theoretically be reduced to $6.20 per pound”
'Organic' anything is expensive..................
Compared to the 67 cent chicken leg quarters I currently buy.
I remember when porterhouse steaks and ribeyes were cheaper than organic chicken.
I wouldn’t have an issue with engineered meat except for two main issues:
The mere existence of the stuff as an option will be used by animal rights Nazis to make traditional farming and hunting illegal...
And some immoral pervert- genius will culture human cells for meat production to get a market niche pleasing the tastes of the criminally insane.
No doubt other problems will arise... among them one we are starting to suffer now: the problem of losing our society’s agricultural people, people whose experiences working with animals and the land gives them common sense insight into humanity and liberty that urban dwellers lack. They are the bulwark against mass hysteria and mental health problems in the rest of the population that can make people trade their rights for security.
