Ok but how long does it take to get the stemcells

Very relevant question that the article doesn’t answer unfortunately.

Just copying my answer from above. Not to say that this is what they're doing for sure, but generally stem cell cultures these days are sourced once then replicated forever.

or does the pig, that takes 60 times longer to grow give you 10000x the meat?

60 times longer
