    Because it isnt households that want it, its the big companies that make processed meat products or burger chains. If moving to lab grown saves McDonalds 5 cents per burger thats 127 million dollars a year. Imagine how much chicken companies that make cheap breaded nuggets use…

    The moment it becomes financially viable to build their own factory they will.

      My household wants it, and I’ve spoken to many others who want it. And they’re specifically banning it from sale to direct consumers.

        Ill rephrase “it isnt the average household” Lemmy skews hard left, go on facebook and see any discussion about lab grown or plant based and read the “I’ll never buy this shit” from people who you KNOW wont check the ingredients list before dunking the chicken nuggets into their trolley or their cookies into their trolley if they figure out plant based eggs…

          The thing about products without any demand is that you don’t have to ban them. People just won’t buy them.

          You only have to ban things when they’re in demand.
