Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.

@demvoter I probably won't. After I gave up meat, I discovered that's it's really just the base note of any meal it's in. It doesn't bring all that much to the party.

My one fear is that with no-kill meat becoming cheap and plentiful, it'll be harder to get things like veggie patties that concentrate on flavor and texture rather than just being the same as the old stuff. I'm still hoping it becomes popular for the folks who never outgrew their cravings. It's almost certainly going to become far lower carbon footprint than the traditional way.
