Insulin. The buzz on the street is that cultured meat works like shit. Insulin on the other hand is already made in bioreactors, and there's no reason that you couldn't do it yourself with the know-how as far as I know.
Really? I've only seen good reviews of the stuff as served by restaurants.
Said people on the street are people involved in the production, not the consumption. It tastes fine, but animal cells don't want to grow like that so it's massively expensive and resource hungry, and will take a lot of research and trouble to make less so if it's even possible in this regulatory environment (the EU doesn't like GMOs).
Maybe stick with plant-based alternatives? They're really good now and they didn't used to be.
