Cultured meat is the stuff of science fiction. Because of the compexity
of the chemistry and the simplicity of growing grass and beans and
feeding those to cows I think cultured meat is going to remain the stuff
of science fiction for decades. Some day over the rainbow we'll no
longer need to ranch animals. I doubt I'll live to see the day. Maybe
my granddaughters will live to see the day.

restaurant. Heavenly food and nothing fake or immitated in it.
