Scientists from Osaka University used stem cells isolated from Wagyu cows to 3D-print a meat alternative containing muscle, fat, and blood vessels arranged to closely resemble conventional steaks. This work may help usher in a more sustainable future with widely available cultured meat. Wagyu can be literally translated into “Japanese cow,” and is famous around the globe for its high content of intramuscular fat, known as marbling or sashi. This marbling provides the beef its rich flavors and distinctive texture. However, the way cattle are raised today is often considered to be unsustainable in light of its outsized contribution to climate emissions. Currently, the available “cultured meat” alternatives only consist primarily of poorly organized muscle fiber cells that fail to reproduce the complex structure of real beef steaks.

Why? Because there won’t be any cows on the moon or Mars!
What will it be named?
Uso ushi fake cow
Honto na niku ja nai not real meat
gu gyu awful beef
“Try the wagyu burgers!”
Okay I will. I just added a lb to my Walmart shopping cart. It might take me a while to get $35 worth of groceries on my list (so I can get free pickup) because I’m really well-stocked today. I’ll probably get there in the next week or so.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Wait for the Chinese version. It will be half the price.
Given what Wagyu beef apparently costs, this might be a CHEAP substitute.
Can I pay for it with 3-D printed money?
I have a Yen for real meat. Accept no substitutes.
Or as the late Clara Peller used to say, “Where’s the beef?”, to which Anthony Weiner would point to a selfie of his lower regions and say, “Here it is”.
Peller would have said, “I said ‘meat’, not a tiny wiener”.
#14. Wagyu hamburgers at my local Harris Teter store have a Cholesteral rating of 81% of your daily requirement.
As my cardiologist would say, “It’s heart attack time” and here’s my business card when you need me.
I just hope the Wagyu beef jerky I get at Costco isn’t the beta test for this stuff.
““It’s heart attack time””
I have zero concerns about saturated fat. I’m more concerned about the sugar and low fiber starches I eat (white bread).
Would be 1000 times better to just feed the cow oats rather than nasty grass fed.
