Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.

Some lab grown meat companies have figured out how to do it without any animal cells, but it's a fairly new development. Requiring actual animal cells is just v1

Things move quickly though, there is already non-animal whey being created that is chemically equivalent to dairy whey using the same process they use to make insulin. Check out Coolhaus. They also make cream cheese and a babybel cheese with it I think

That would be ideal, it would be possible to consume meat keeping cruelty free standards. Hopefully it will happen soon.

I can see how you can make fake meat without animal cells - but this class of food is 'lab grown meat'. When you don't have animal cells it's no longer lab grown animal meat.

edit: I guess there is a difference between using animal cells during 'production' and during 'development'. I CAN see how the former can be achieved, but not the latter.
