Lab-grown chicken ‘nuggets’ hailed as ‘transformative step’ for cultured meat

The problem is immune systems, these have to be kept in a perfectly sterile environment, until that's fixed this is going to be much more expensive than regular meat

Problem isn't the meat industry, problem is that it is prohibitively expensive

I find most fake meat disappointing at best but fake chicken rivals and often surpasses that mechanically separated garbage.

I agree but this is not for people who don't eat animals in the first place. It is for all the people not willing to forgo a certain taste and texture for any reason really. Which is still the vast majority. While we happily disregard the suffering of those not within eye shot we are luckely less willing to ignore the heating up of our planet and the limited space for growing food. So there is really not a viable option for the masses without lab grown meat.

My biggest issue with meat substitutes is that I'm allergic to soy. Pea protein products often use beets which I'm also allergic to.

I really want to try them but it's usually one of those two ingredients that stop me.

Pumfu though, is great as is lion's mane mushroom crumble. These have helped me go meatless Mondays. They are pricey though.
