Seems like a bold assertion, saying your food tastes better than something that doesn't exist yet, and so cannot be compared.
I mean, you are probably right, but you can't know how dinosaur meat or whatever genetically engineered nonexistent animal meat tastes like.
The point of lab meat is to taste like dead animals. I know what dead animals taste like, I ate them for 28 years.
I get that, what I mean is that current attempts fail to even taste like animal meat, so it's hard to tell what that could actually taste like in the future. Now they pursue the taste of animal meat, but I imagine if they succeed they will go in other directions. Ultimately it's a tech to grow arbitrary cell structures from arbitrary cells, so nobody says it has to replicate any animal tissue. That's just unfortunately what people are familiar with.
