It seems that this is less likely to receive such a treatment, since it's much closer to the actual thing in terms of composition, but beyond Meat might be given a harder time there, since their product is plant-based...

Lab grown meat is the industry I'd pick if I had to pick where the next rags to world's richest person will come from. Can it be scaled & beat conventional slaughter economically? I'm betting that it can. And it will disrupt a 100B+ annual industry.
> Can it be scaled & beat conventional slaughter economically? I'm betting that it can. I'm really skeptical of this. Feels like a "multiple PhDs later..." kind of problem. Is there are a reason why you think the research won't hit any roadblocks? And even if it succeeds, there could be insurmountable marketing issues. In the meantime, it's bad for vegetarianism.

Is MSG considered an artificial flavoring? I was under the impression that it is both naturally occurring in biology and that its health problems are greatly over-exaggerated. Nonetheless, point taken.
MSG's health problems are greatly over-exaggerated. Ever had Chinese food? Most asian dishes have a ton of MSG.

This is just like when the British Parliament approved GMOs in the UK and on the same day officially forbid GMO foods from being served in the Parliament restaurant.
BTW I know the guy who was the head of the team who invented the GMO technology. He and his family and relatives only eat the cleanest, best quality ORGANIC food they can find.
India could become a huge market for the plant protein meat.
Beyondmeat is one great example.
I am so sad that it won't be legal or at least profitable in Europe. People look for salt without GMO...

it is not supposed to replace kobe beef, it should feed the world of poor and severely malnutritioned. it is supposed to help with reduction of greenhouse gasses, since methane is much more powerful than CO2. it also could end bad treatment of stock animals in many places (along the logic that lab meat should replace cheap real meat of questionable quality that we eat all the time ie in most restaurants/quick eats).
when I travel to 3rd world countries, I have no expectations about quality of the meat products. meat is usually laden with loads of antibiotics, insecticides, growth hormones and what not. this should help too.
if it achieves this, while being only mediocre product for burgers and sausages, I will applaud the effort.

Why not? As long as its vegan margarine. Its clean of at least a subset of ethical concerns that many foods are not. Clean is a very overloaded word though so I certainly see where you're coming from, but it works just fine for me.
Calling meat grown in a lab clean meat is just a marketing gimmick that could potentially make people believe they eat natural grown meat.
