Taste is apparently easily fixed.

If the goal is to grow food without using living breathing conscious animals, and fixing taste is a relatively (relative to growing cultured meat) easy fix, why not simply pound protein goop into slabs and fix the taste/texture of those? Less complicated, less energy, less waste. Why grow the meat at all? Just seems like an unnecessary step.

We will find out 10 years from now how it is doing something to kill us. More than likely how it causes some sort of cancer

That's called planning for the future. At least they'll have something to do come grant renewal time, bet they have an inside track getting funding to research that. Smiley: wink

It will probably be prostate cancer, which will mysteriously be only cured by eating and expelling Taco Bell 24/7. This will put the all of the other fast food chains out of business, putting us one step closer to non-stop show tune radio stations and WiFi orgasms.

I had the opportunity to talk with the ownership of one of these synth meat labs a while back, and we discussed the prospect of designer meats being the inroad into the marketplace. They cann't compete with the $/lb of chicken/beef at present, but, say the fugu market? It's not a stretch. Iirc he was quoting scale costs at ~2-3x current chicken figures. One reference point was the goldfish fillet that was produced a while ago.

Giant spiders are for transportation, not eating.

It's still a big spider and you can't expect Kao to react rationally when faced with spiders.
