    Uh huh. So unfeasible, but Big Ag lobbyists are working to get it banned in multiple states (already successful in Florida)? Something doesn’t add up.

      trying to ban the competition is just business as usual in the US, that’s ridiculously far from lab grown meat being a viable alternative.

      Again, you can make fine burger meat with that process, anything else is fucking shit at the moment. It probably will get better eventually, but who knows how long it’ll be and there’s other sources of protein readily available already that don’t entail giving enormous subsidies to yet another fucking corporation.

          Jfc are you 9? They attempt to ban prospective competition, it doesn’t need to actually have significant market cap. The point is to strangle stuff in the cradle.

              Oh my, they have burger patties in the store? Wagyu beef and USDA Choice ribeye sellers must be shaking in their boots. Run and tell Tyson, if they subsidize lab grown meat nobody will buy a single chicken breast again now that there’s the option to buy a vegan burger for the same price a regular burger used to cost!

                Tyson already knows, and has been spending millions to get it banned before they can’t compete with it.

                You should let them know you’re a market genius, and save them those millions.
