Wandering around the Instagram today…
A weird story about a skincare company, Decium, abruptly closing due to "major criminal activity" led me to Richard Branson - which, in turn, led me to this company: Memphis Meats.
Lab-grown meat made from animal cells
"We start by harvesting cells from high-quality, living chickens that might otherwise go into conventional meat,” he says. “The chickens are not killed in the process. We look for cells that have potential to renew, put them in environment where they can grow and feed them water and nutrients — vitamins, minerals, proteins, sugars — and let them grow.” It takes between four and six weeks for harvested cells to grow into a fleshed-out chicken tender."
"Does this sound creepy to anyone else?"
