        The need for something more sustainable and humane than conventional meat from factory farms is more critical than ever as we fight climate change and barbaric ag practices

        Honestly I think a lot of what's gross/unappetizing about it to some people is just that it's very different from the current state of meat. So as the products come out and more people start eating them, it'll become normal and therefore more appealing psychologically.

        Good point, @Herr_Flick1. The first folks to grow clean meat were funded by @nasa, actually (more in the book!).
