No shit? Outstanding news. This saves China a lot of valuable arable land that can be better used for more beneficial projects.

Another win for scientific socialism.

cells still obviously need some calories to grow but iirc they made some really weird concoction from plants that grow like weeds and then put it in a weird salt mix and the cells eat it up. big benefit there is those are plants we cant eat or digest easily but we can eat and digest that meat it produces from it.

some do it with freshly fallen chicken feathers or fish scales iirc. new research in medical stem cell tech is what has been catapulting the industry forward. even if it werent fully vegan itd do some pretty extreme harm reduction.

Very interesting material, do you have any primary source materials (or secondary since it’s probably in Chinese) so I can read up more on it? I might forward it to my party’s agricultural commission, or just share it as cool cutting-edge stuff for agitprop.

This talks about Avant Meats in Hong Kong being cooked by chefs there. I’m pretty tired so prob sleeping soon but theres a lot of stuff out there if you search it. I know they def serve chicken for 20 bucks last I checked cause I looked up and emailed the actual restaurant that did it

i’ll try to find the specific place im talking about but afaik the only places that are selling it at a decent price are in the sinosphere (re: singapore, hong kong, china, etc). most the information i posted is a little dated (2 yrs) so i’ll try to find more recent numbers actually.
