I have little background about the cultured meat, and this link made me curious: wouldn't cancer cells be good candidate cells for creating this type of meat?
I also have little background, but I'd imagine the type of meat that cancer cells create is not the same as the type that tastes good.
This title is misleading (no one has spent a dollar as far as I can tell) and the article gets several facts wrong. For instance, it says "Meat The Future" is a clean meat company when in fact it's a sort of marketing and design group. There is no way China could buy meat from them. Poorly researched clickbait.
And there is one company: https://www.supermeat.com/ and two other which seems to be the same org labeled as non-profit or startup: https://www.futuremeat.org/
I remember when the first lab meat burger patty was announced it was like $300K to produce. There aren't long term studies into what lab produced meat means for the human body right? It's pretty new and very niche still - but knowing how China has "very loose rules" on these kind of topixs (I'm no expert in policies but it does feel like that), this looks like a great move to speed up (by injecting a lot of capital i…
I'd love to see meat that is better for the environment and does away with the ethical concerns of pig, chicken and cow farms.

Do you have any evidence why cancer shouldn't taste good?
"good" steak, for instance is marbled. i'm not sure how you can get that with uncontrolled growth of one type of tissue. best case scenario you grow a huge chunk of cancerous muscle, and grind it with fat to make ground beef.

But suppose I don't care about fat, in fact I want my meat to be as lean as possible.

i'm not sure what the point of that is. not sure about everyone else, but the main motivation for eating meat is that it tastes good. without fat, 100% muscle would be very dry/tough. you might as well eat tofu.
I guess this is a bad time to say I love tofu?
I'm more concerned whether or not it's technologically possible without health risks.
