...not until the price drops a bit.
It looks like that pink slime they'd been adding to hamburgers at McDonalds.
Ugh, no.
If it ever comes down to test tube beef being the only beef available, I'll buy a 47' Fountain Lightning and make high speed runs between Baton Rouge and an undisclosed location on the Yucatan Peninsula.
There I will conduct illicit transactions with a shady beef purveyor. I'll make MILLIONS!
Did I take that too far?
On the bright side, there probably isn't any gristle in test tube ground beef.
No and no.Would you eat it?

And adding to what you say, muscle is not just a genetic formula. The muscle has to go through an exercise regime, or otherwise there would be no difference between range beef or range chicken and the normal products.Sure, I'd eat it. I mean I wouldn't gag at the thought of eating it. It's just beef muscle and fat. But beef flavor is produced by the actions of an extremely complex array of factors. But acceptable flavor is probably something that can be done, at least by the time the process is economically feasible. It's obviously well suited for emulating ground beef. But one of the ultimate goals of all such processes is to grow functional replicas of specific organs. No doubt one of the first steps beyond mystery meat will be a generic muscle. But that's a big step. It's one thing growing one tissue. It's another to create the mix or muscle fiber, connective tissue, and fat in beef muscle.
