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.

    Yeah I'm a pseudovegan by convenience except on days we go out to eat at a restaurant which is maybe like once every 2 months or something. I fucking love eating fish. I will never stop eating fish. I also eat grilled locusts cause theyre the shrimp of the land. Sometimes the bf makes me a fancy meal or something and its usually fish too I guess.

    I used to drink a ton of milk cause it was cheaper and more convenient than vegan shakes (which also tasted awful at the time). Vegan shakes came a long way, taste good, and are cheaper than milk (in the long run, if you buy in bulk and store it), nutritionally complete, and have decent protein. I got really really bad stress issues so I can't make food easily, has to be in a shake.

      Interesting. What shake brands do you recommend? Milk is a huge component of my diet, so I would welcome a replacement (those plant milks all have too little protein to work for me).

        Theres a lot of brands, I recommend trying them all out before buying in bulk. Each person will have a different taste. I like Soylent (lmao) the most but Huel is good too. Orgain tasted a little weird to me. So did Katefarms. Most are reasonably priced in bulk.

          Cool, thanks! I'll give those all a try. (Side note: how in the hell did those guys get away with naming it "soylent"? Did they seriously not realize what they were referencing? Did no one else? Like, wtf?)

              I was like 13 or something when I watched that movie and that term was a truly astonishing level of (purely casual) misogyny for me. I still don't think I've seen anything that tops that.
