This is promising....
“Aleph Cuts’ first commercial product, Petit Steak, is made of non-modified cells of a premium Black Angus cow named Lucy, as well as a plant protein matrix of soy and wheat.
Aside from starter cells from one of Lucy’s fertilized eggs, no animal-derived components or antibiotics are used in the cultivation process or the final product.”
No immortal cell lines used at all that’s a huge break through. They obviously went the fetal stem cells route and found a way to propagate them in bulk. A cow will have thousands of eggs at birth just like all mammals do. If they truly succeeded in using a single one to batch grow protein cells maturity that is nothing short of a paradigm shift. Humans can’t get off this rock by taking livestock with us the mass balance even with nuclear propulsion is wrong.
If this product doesn’t use immortal cell lines I certainly would try it out. In burgers ,tacos or nuggies I bet it’s indistinguishable from regular ground beef it certainly would be genetically identical to the parent cow Lucy.

Look at the steaks being cut and served I would bet good money the average person would not be able to tell that was not sirloin steak because it is genetically beef from a real cow. This has been the goal all along grow protein cells up to maturity with lipids and connective tissue aka meat.
I absolutely would eat that steak they show. I would bet anyone of the 4 billion that suffer from chronic protein deficiency would gobble that up as well.
Those damn Israelis are trying to save fish species. How evil.
