The big news here is if it’s considered parve, Jews who keep kosher can eat it with butter or cheese.

Don't they just look for loopholes anyway?

Like being "inside" a wire or not pushing buttons so someone else does it.

I'm sure any loophole people will take it

Oh interesting. What do you think about Muslims ? Would they be able to eat any and all cultured meat ?

Vegetarians and vegans too ?

Might be interesting.

What is cost.

I know less about what is considered halal or haram, but Muslims have no restrictions on meat and dairy being mixed though.

If they could make bacon though….. I think there’s a decent chance you could rightly argue it isn’t from a pig.

Similarly if Jews consider this to be parve (a vegetable), then presumably a cultured bacon or pig product would also be kosher. And they can finally realize the dream of a kosher bacon cheeseburger.

Could be a huge leap. Definitely something the whole world is invested in

Cultured meat is going to be a genuine game changer.

Most people don't realise how much environmental damage meat does to the world. I can't wait for huge forest regrowth.

I'm hoping this gets cheap and comes along with robotic cooking. I want restaurants to be so cheap I never have to cook again.
