3-D “bioprinted” rib-eye steaks are now a reality, but the FDA and USDA have yet to finalize a regulatory framework.

I twitted the following to Aleph Farms:
“Do you think we’ll get to a machine that can be located at the restaurant, fast enough to fabricate a steak “to order”.
Restaurant machine would need to fab in <15 minutes, maybe 1/2 hour for a very fancy place; this gets the cooked steak to the table in 45 mins.
Restaurant would need to keep a supply of feedstock. Maybe the real business is in supplying the feedstack? Like Coca Cola makes money on the syrup?”
Also, I am in agreement with the meat industry: this stuff should labelled as not meat. I propose the term “schmeat”.
