Some redditor was just trying to tell me this is "pretty indistinguishable" from real chicken, and that the extremely pale chicken was probably a choice because they want it to appeal to the widest possible customer base, not just foodie trends. What say you?

I can brown butter than that 😭
This is how they will try to gaslight you when states try to ban or tax out of wide use real meat: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/jCbR1WFMeM
Ya I’ll reserve judgment until it’s cheap enough for me to try. I think you’re being a bit hyperbolic.
Eventually we’ll have to eat lab meat or bug protein, pick your pill.
FrankenTenders. Nice.
Taking the tinfoil hat off for a moment (my apologies, Mr. Jones), I’m actually pretty excited about this tech. Not for environmental or ethical or financial reasons, that’s boring. I want to be a able to legally eat meats that otherwise can’t be obtained. I know it’s not going to even remotely be 1:1 due to an encyclopedia’s length of reasons, but I wanna taste panda, lions, giraffes, penguins, bald eagle, polar bear, I want to be able to, just for fun, taste all the animals I probably shouldn’t eat.
Fantastic..!
I am absolutely in favor of lab grown meat. I cannot wait for it to become a viable and economic source of protein for everyday consumers.
That said whoever decided to cook it that way for marketing purposes needs to rethink their life. It makes me sad.
I have 100% been served real chicken that looked way worse than that!
There’s a lot of misinformation in this post – I don’t want to break any rules about self promotion but if you want to find out why cultivated meat is safe and more about cultivated meat please check out my substack (found on my profile).
Id also like to say no one would consider cultivated meat today perfect or that it is in its end state.
It’s still early on and the product will only get better. Chicken is a lot harder than minced pork or beef ( which already has come a long way) and I’m actually very excited at how far cultivated chicken has come in such a small amount of time!
I’m in the camp where there is plenty of room for BOTH!
But can it catch the bird flu? Yes, maybe the way it was air fried makes it look weird. As far as I’ve seen it looks like chicken.
