Yeah, but they’re working on full muscles and organs now, and it’s only a matter of time.

So will I, for quite some time. But if and when they produce the same quality, why wouldn’t you go with vat grown?

Ah, I see. You’re just an asshole. Carry on.

But it will be a “real” hamburger. It will just be a different way of growing it. If anything, I think the meat at the grocery store today would probably taste pretty shitty next to some vat-grown Wagyu beef.
