    If we can replace the taste, appearance, and texture of a medium-rare rib eye with lab grown meat at a substantially cheaper price, we will.

      Agree, as long as it&#x27;s meat. Lab grown meat from cells is meat. The reason impossible never worked was becuase it wasn&#x27;t meat. Very few people are going to trade meat for soy and vegetables
