I'm skeptical. It's been really picking hard to get those things to grow in a vat. This would be a huge breakthrough, and popsci has a way of leaving out critical, fatal details.

Such as “a claim proven by the hundred pounds of pseudo pork they shipped us overnight”?

I didn’t read the article. I assume this journalist made zero primary observations?

I mean, even shipping it wouldn't say anything about what it's production cost is. Only that they paid it.

It literally quotes the company spokesperson as the main source on all this, and then comments on the brand having done a taste-test in Singapore.
