I could be reading it wrong. The government invested 100m+ yuan into the company CellX last year so I wouldnt be surprised if it were subsidized. I can't find any up to date information of other types of cultured meat, seems pork is the cash cow right now. Comments on similar articles says the meat is only available in restaurants right now.
:some-controversy:
I don't think they object pork as a concept, just that it's somehow the most unclean animal you can eat
Smh my head real gigachads potty train their pigs
You can get a lot more parasites from eating pork than just about anything else, trichinosis in particular
there are very few cases of that, at least in the US.
iirc that there hasn't been a case of it in humans from farmed pork in years (or wasn't for years, maybe trump made the FDA worse)
Oh yeah, I mean it was a bigger deal back when all these religious guidelines were being written for sure — just that it makes sense to single pork out as being "unclean" or whatever back in the day
Trichinosis was eliminated from the US pig population back in the 1970s. Eat all the blue pork chops you want.
pigs are pretty unhygenic tbf
