No, supercars haven’t suddenly become ridiculously cheap. Lab-grown meat has, however. A year and a half ago, the first quarter-pounder was made from “test tube meat,” costing well over a quarter million bucks; the same patty would today cost $11. That’s still pretty pricey by burger standards… but imagine $11 burgers on, say, the Moon or Mars. Or endangered-critter-burgers, without endangering the critters. Or the heads of animal rights activist vegans popping when presented with this option, instead of existing upon grass and weeds and whatnot.
Lab grown meat thirty thousand times cheaper than 18 months ago
Ah, science. Sure, *other* forms of thought promise meat from, say, small carbohydrate wafers, but man do they get snippy when you want to actually test the claim. But science? Pfff. Couple “science” with “profit motive,” and before you know it you’re getting honest-to-Tesla meat being spat out by a machine you keep in your kitchen next to the Bassomatic ’76.
