How is lab grown meat going to give cancer to cows?
Cancer is when the body's cells stop listening to regulation - e.g. they grow despite being told to not grow.
Although in this case, I guess the whole thing inside the bioreactor basically flat-out is cancer.
It might be okay though, if they grow vaguely like cancer grows, but more like regulated cells do?
This isn't cancer at all.
