“I can’t see parents ever being happy putting lab-grown meat and milk in their kids’ lunchboxes… it’s just not gonna happen,” Federated Farmers dairy chair Richard McIntyre said.
Mr McIntyre is engaging in wishful thinking here, if the lab-grown alternative is half the cost, I’m sure parents will be only too happy to put it in the lunch boxes of the kids…some of the crap that gets put in now is amazing…
Lab grown dairy protein will be sold wholesale long before it’s available as milk. We’ll be eating it as protein bars and chocolate, then processed cheese. Who’s going to know the difference? Who’s going to care?
