    “...startups will have to convince consumers that they want to eat meat grown in a lab rather than on a farm...”

    This is alarming and against normal reason.

    Against “normal” reason..., hermanito...?
    As in the good auld...: “Earth is flat” or “Man can't fly”..., ya' mean?

    Cellular Agriculture is THE WAY TO GO. (And as old as human civilization..., btw...)
    I don't Tænk it's “against normal reason” to enjoy a beer or to gobble a yoghurt..., do you...?

    Anyhow..., hope to live long enough to be able to taste a freshly lab-grown authentic chilli ahuacamolli... ;-)

    In any case, laboratory 'grown' meat may end up being considerably cleaner than industrial feedlot products heavily permeated with antibiotics. However, I hope these products will be better than the current 'fake' meat offerings. I have tried the Adventist burger patty and there is only one word to describe it: Yuck !

    TWIMC...

    Startups will have no problemos whatsoever to convince this consumer to eat meat grown in a lab rather than on a “farm” like this...:

    Having said the above..., me first meat choice would always be a wild Patagonian upland goose..., a brown trout or a guanaco...

    Dear Tænk & FortHay

    Although I too have enjoyed wild geese and trout, my personal experience with guanaco has been disagreeable. (Tough and stringly meat.)

    I too am worried about antibiotics, but cell-cultivated chicken is a bridge too far.

    Perhaps we can convince everyone to eat more table grapes and avocados...

    By the way, it's currently raining here in Santiago, which really makes me smile.

    ¡Saludos!

    Occasionally I enjoy wild duck, but also everything is farm raised except seafood - other than salmon, which I really enjoy.

    I understand why you distain the way we prepare meat...

    Reminds me of my first visit to the Dalmatian Coast last year.

    (By the way, I should have included CULTIVATED salmon...)

    Madame and I expect to be in Valle Nevado tomorrow...
