    Meh that seems about the right price for a rib eye, although that does look like big supermarket rib eye rather than butcher rib eye so should be a bit cheaper ..

    I feel like that's too cheap for a good cut of meat, bear in mind I'm using AUD and kg, I'd just buy chicken or white fish if I needed cheap meat

    I'm more concerned about the fucking parasites that may or may not be in it since we can't trust the government to not Taylor Farms us with the diarhea lettuce do-over.

    Someone donates to a soggy Cheeto's PAC and all of a sudden it's all good, they didn't just poison thousands of you, nothing to see here!

    I seriously doubt it. Those prices are low when compared whith my own country's and we have a lot less buying power. Some cuts incresead price by 126% in a year.

    Most people have cut back on beef and opted for other meats and, fortunately, are going back to the traditional cuisine, which is heavily reliant on vegetables, grains and legumes, with cheaper meat supplementing the diet.

    Americans will not give up meat anytime soon. It is culturally significant, as I imagine it is in many countries. We will probably go to lab grown meat when it gets good enough and cheap enough.

    Wouldn't lab grown meat be vegan, if it's be done without harming any animals?

    The serum they feed those cells certainly harms animals. Lab meat is is huge scam.

    That was the case a few years ago. The industry has developed and already uses alternatives. The fetal serum would have been too expensive for commercial use either way.

    We still don't know how expensive the whole process will be though, it will certainly be a luxury item for quite some time, while the current plant-based meat is slowly becoming cheaper than real meat.

    USAians really do love their meat, huh? Can't even imagine a veggie diet. Straight to crime.

    Is 0.3% very significant? Seems like that'd be below most noise thresholds? I'm not a statistician
