The sooner we switch, the better off we'll be environmentally, too.

Super cool, I'm excited to try it out once it's available.

Fantastic! I hope this industry takes off and is soon available everywhere.

I haven't looked into it, but hopefully they don't culture the cells in FBS.

Yeah that was the last info I had on developments like these: FBS: Fetal Bovine Serum. Blood from a foetus of a slaughtered pregnant cow, commonly used in growing cell cultures due to all the growth factors that go into growing a baby cow.

this here says their cells are cultivated without animal products
