Why lab-grown meat is so much better than the meat we already eat

On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration completed its first premarket evaluation of Upside Foods, which grows meat from cells instead of euthanized animals. He concluded that he "had no further questions" about the safety of how the company produces its chicken.
