    Its possible they will open with that, “cruelty free cultured beef” or some buzz term that sounds better than lab grown. But beyond that think about it on a McDonalds level industrial scale. If they can make each pattie for just 1c less than real beef and they make 2.36 Billion burgers a year…

    With real beef they are still at the mercy of weather, diseases running through herds, they have to move the stock, slaughter it, process the carcasses then process the meat. Shouldering the costs and losses the whole way in their margins.

    If they can get it to work at sufficient scale McDonalds can build a “lab” with a pattie factory attatched, hell if they can they will grow it pattie shaped. They know “lab grown” isnt a selling point yet, they wont shout it from the rooftops.

    IMO the biggest customers for this once it reaches parity with real meat for cost and quality will be companies like McDonalds, Sysco and other companies that manufacture foods in biblical quantities. Once they can save money by doing it, they absolutely will and once they start putting their level of investment into the tech, it will advance very rapidly.

    It has 2 major use cases as I see it.

    If they can lab engineer super premium cuts consistently and affordably people will come around. I dont buy A5 Wagyu because I cant afford it, not because I dont want it.

    Or

    If they can really pull the ass out of the price on meat destined for processing plants to make premade foods. People arent excited for the meat case and the steaks at the supermarket to be lab grown, but when fast and frozen food switches over to it almost universally people wont have a choice.

    Are you one of the wives or are we dealing with a multiple wife situation here?

    I’ve always thought do polygamists have more or less problems than traditional relationships? Because on the one hand you have to keep multiple people happy, but on the other if all 3 of my wives can discuss the problem before they come to me and agree on what should be done, all you have to do is get it done.
