Future of food
summary
Mosa Meat describes producing a first-ever lab hamburger from Belgian Blue cells that four people taste-tested: texture and beefiness pass but it’s 100% muscle without the fat juiciness of typical burgers. Cell cultures double ~every 24 hours, a single-sample route yields one steak in about a month, but cellular lines hit ~50 doublings (the team cites a ~million-steak ceiling without fresh stem inputs). Finless Foods is growing tuna from stem cells to replace overfished stocks (tuna now ~3% of historic levels; an auctioned tuna sold for ~$3M), aiming for cheaper, lower-impact seafood.
