Florida and Alabama have banned lab meat, but some in the livestock industry fear the precedent of states deciding what goes on store shelves, and what can’t.

    There’s more to flavor and texture than just the ratio of fat to lean, not to mention the color. Consider farmed vs. wild-caught fish (especially salmon), pastured vs. caged chicken, grass vs. corn-fed beef, etc.

      That was an example for things that can be engineered…

      It’s a false equivalency to use the comparison of farmed vs wild with any comparison to lab-grown protein. All your examples involve a living creature that’s being restricted in movement, nutrition or some other life experience. Lab grown skips all of that.

      True, I guess what i was imagining was an ideal scenario where all those aspects can also be replicated. Of course, maybe thats not how the technology works i really dont know
