Cool. Maybe, soon, they can turn me into a sausage?
Lab-grown meat is the way we're going to add long pork to our diets.

Uhh. That's meaningless? What's the energy/resource usage comparison.
Every one of these claims so far has been 100% Elon Musk style “FSD is ready to ship right now in 2017” kinds of claims.
There was a great article in the New Yorker (or one of those style mags) a month or so ago that just ripped the industry apart about the billions of dollars spent on products that were overhyped and never shipped. I know that we’re feeling the pain of contraction right now, but we were dumping buckets of money into ideas that were not vetted - it was like the late 90s.
So, like with autopilot for cars, I will believe it when I see it.

Does this mean no more plastic fed to pigs?
This stuff was basically ready to go minus scaling up two decades ago. They were still working on adding marbling and texture into steaks that could fool you in a blind test, but amazed it’s taken this long to get to sausages.

So when can we realistically expect this to be a thing?
If they used human stem cells, cannibalism? Maybe. Tasty? Probably.
Cannibalism has been directly linked to the transmission of brain-related diseases. Although I’m sure further testing would be needed because that may not be the case with lab grown meat.
It would make for one hell of a research paper.

Rednecks on Facebook are already getting butthurt about this like this and asking lab grown meat to be banned
They're going on about stuff like cancer or whatever
