Lab-Grown Chicken Meat Will Make Its Restaurant Debut This Saturday

For cultured meat—which has gone by many names including lab-grown meat, clean meat, or slaughter-free meat—the question has not been “if” but “when.” The development of growing animal cells into edible meat has continued, only the timeline was uncertain. Back in 2016, an Israeli company called SuperMeat even took a guess, suggesting their lab-grown chicken would be available by July 2021. Turns out they weren’t far off, but they also weren’t the first ones to get there.

This weekend, Eat Just—which until recently was best known for its plant-based Just Egg—will become the first company in the world to have their cultured meat served commercially at a restaurant. Earlier this month, Eat Just claimed a world’s first after getting regulatory approval to sell its Good Meat Cultured Chicken in Singapore. Now, that cell-cultured meat will debut at Singapore’s 1880 restaurant on Saturday to a handful of select diners: “young people age 14 to 18 who have shown, through their consistent actions, a commitment to building a better planet.”

Or lab grown human meat? It's "ethical" if nobody had to die, right?

Not an original thought with me. It's a sub plot of this book. 1977.

It just freaks me out how folks reject nature and embrace dabbling with nature.

If it tastes good, I'll eat it. If it smooths out irregularities and imperfections in real chicken, I'll eat it even more.

Maybe someday with vat-grown meat we can all get cheap, perfect Wagyu beef at McDonald's for a couple of dollars.
