I've been waiting for that for so long. Just hope governments and people give it a fair chance instead of jumping rashly negative conclusions just because it is lab grown. So is beer, and cheese, and most other things we consume.

I mean, with modern sausages, it's mostly trash or overpriced. They taste like they have 5% meat, 95% sawdust.

Italy's politicians in a fantastically backward and utterly brain farted move has made "synthetic meat" outlaw, for study, production, sale and consume, like already some months ago, just to please the local (read: national) farmers lobby. Or at least they adverised as they did... forgive me I kinda lost hope and interst as well.

Gotta love the totally-not-neofascist Meloni government :(
