As a thinking experiment, let us consider that on the 1st of January of 2025 it is announced that an advance making possible growing any kind of animal tissue in laboratory conditions as been achieved and that it is possible to scale it in order to achieve industrial grade production level.

There is no limit on which animal tissues can be grown, so, any species is achieveable, only being needed a small cell sample from an animal to start production, and the cultivated tissues are safe for consumption.

There won't be any perceiveable price change to the end consummer, as the growing is a complex and labour intensive process, requiring specialized equipments and personnel.

Would you change to this new diet option?

As someone that has the genetic trait that enables me to smell insects... thank you, but no thank you.

Regarding corporations controlling lab meat production: regulation, control, overview.

Those are fairy tail words in the US

There is more to the world than the US.

Hence why I said "in the US" genius...

Why, thank you, Mr. President. It's an honor to get a compliment from a personality such as yourself.

TIL, and of course I echo the sentiment of the other commenter that those words don't truly exist here in the US, and I agree with you that the world is a much larger place than the US. I just would hope that European countries (or whatever other countries are concerned about the health of their people) lead the charge if such a solution to our protein came to be.
