Hey, cooking creatures! I'm REALLY excited about a video we have in the pipeline...I recently went out to California to try some lab-grown meat, and we're going to do a whole video on what the deal is with this seemingly sci-fi food. What kinds of questions do you have about lab-grown meat? What do YOU want to know? 

Thanks (and keep an eye out this week for our newest video!)

Is lab grown meat still bad environmentally compared to meat substitutes?

How viable is it at the moment, in terms of time and cost? Can we expect it to be viable in the future?

I’m curious whether they’ve gotten the texture down or not? Can it be used to replace any usage of (was it chicken?), or will it mainly be limited to uses where texture is less important, nuggets, broth, etc…?

Yeah, this was my biggest question too! Excited to share what I learned.

Is the meat a complete source of protein? If not, what foods will complement the amino acids in the meat?

We've been growing other cell cultures for decades now – what were the challenges that kept us from reaching lab grown meat until the 2020s?

Would you taste a difference between cow/chicken/pig originated lab grown meat? I wonder if the muscle fibre they grow is at all different. Or if the "environment"/body adds the aromatic compounds. Another one: Will it (except from the original donor cells) be vegan? Afaik, currently the growth medium is still made from cows.
