    I’m sure that it will initially cost a premium, before coming down in price as the technology matures. I’m also curious about the relative environmental impact that cultivated meat has versus raising livestock.

      Dang, I figured CO2 emissions would be much better than traditional livestock but I wouldn’t have guessed that much better.

        Livestock is a huge CO2 contributor, coupled with the fact that you have to cut down trees to make room for them, it’s a huge problem.

        Right? The water and ghg emission is nearly at the same level as fruits and veggies from what I can tell. That’s intense. Energy use is still pretty high but I imagine that’ll get optimized over time. Low key excited to try it too, I wasn’t too sold on the meat alternatives from beyondmeat, but this looks very interesting.
