How is it easiest? Perhaps most accessible how society is currently setup, but beans, tofu, etc are all good for you, plenty of vegan body builders rely on them. This "high quality" protein myth is garbage.

This is what drives me crazy about vegans. Sorry, it is easier to eat meat. The protein IS higher quality, easier to digest and more balanced. Eating nutritional yeast and balancing your legumes, tofu and other protein sources to get a proper assortment of B vitamins and amino acids IS harder. Not saying it's not healthier, not saying is not more ethical, not saying anything except it IS easier. Stop lying.

> Lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, seitan, tofu, all great sources of protein. This may be true, but all of those either: interfere with mineral absorption, decrease serum testosterone, or are not comparable in taste to animal protein. You may have had an increase in quality of life, but this is not universally applicable to the entire population. Keto is the first thing that comes to mind that increases quality of life,…

Mineral absorption you say? https://saveourbones.com/osteoporosis-milk-myth/

"lovingly raised" to be slaughtered is an oxymoron.

Not necessarily. Anyone who runs small farms or boutique cattle studs would disagree. All animals will die at some stage. If their life up to that point was in a caring and respectful environment, and they are humanely killed, what's the problem? We regularly sent our cattle to the abattoir, and it didn't stop them being happy cows that got hugs and shoulder scratches...

> How is it easiest? Raw meat, eggs, and such are very easy to cook and make delicious. Tofu is already highly processed, and beans require a length cooking time. By any definition of the word, animal protein is less time consuming to make more delicious than plant protein.

2 cents per gram translates to $9.07 per pound of Memphis Meats' cost. Assuming they skip the distributors (unlikely) and sell straight to retailers, it will be easily double that at the retail level, $18.14 per pound. They are more likely to end up around the $25-30 per pound price point at retail once all is said and done. That's starting to wander into dry-aged beef ribeye territory at a higher-end version of comm…

You're absolutely right on the pricing and go to market strategy. The regulatory frameworks are still up in the air. I know from having attending the 1st and 2nd Cultured Meat Symposiums in Maastricht that both the USDA and the FDA are looking at clean meat. While both agencies seem pretty open and friendly towards it, they unfortunately both think they should be the one to regulate it :-)
