Lab Grown Chicken Nuggets ...hmmmm Yummy

What do you call meat if it is grown in a lab?

Cell-based meat - AKA lab-grown, cultivated or cultured meat - scored $360m plus (US) in funding in 2020, per Food Drive.

The US Cattlemen's Association thinks only meat from slaughtered ******* should be called beef or meat.

Harvard Law School's ****** Law and Policy clinic is against banning common terms, arguing it could be unconstitutional

You can weigh in with the USDA if you'd, like. :)

I think this is bizarre. A 2020 London art installation about growing steak from human cells was a tad bit controversial
