Here’s the thing. Everything in business...real businesses, comes down to profit. Profit results from the most efficient use of money to turn whatever you do into the cost plus the profit. The reason that chicken is already the cheapest meat in existence is the incredible efficiency in breeding, raising, and processing chicken. The means to do that is already a sunk cost. Nothing new, like growing chicken in a vat, will approach the efficiency and profitability required to overcome the existing chicken business. The only way it can do so is to declare the current business illegal or raise the cost of it through regulation. I think that is the plan.
What’s really profitable getting those ‘meat by-product’ scraps that no one else dares use and reconstituting and ‘rebranding’ them as ‘lab-grown’.
