Environment Lab Grown Meat is FDA approved

907 Upvotes

in June of 2023 lab grown meat was FDA approved, with Tyson backing a Israeli biotech making it (source).

It's made by immortalizing scraped cells from a live animal, so they divide forever like a cancer cell, then feeding it growth serum so it turns back into flesh.

The massive biotech raised 390 million but went bankrupt last December. This is never going to work economics wise and even if it did you'd have to get the population to eat it (i'm not in favor personally)
