Just earlier this year one company got FDA approval for one specific type of cultured meat. So there are regulatory hurdles and there is the issue of producing enough of it at scale at a reasonable price. But there has been progress in the field and we could see more products in stores in the next couple years. I really hope a big transition to cultured meat and dairy happens because I think it would have an enormous impact on carbon emissions and water use from agriculture.
