Ezra Klein is a journalist formerly of Vox media and now at the New York Times. While he tends to talk about himself a little too much in interviews (instead of focusing on the person he's supposedly interviewing) he makes a number of good points in this Twitter thread based on his NY Times article. He thinks that Beyond and Impossible are the first entrants into a new group of meat substitutes, and he wants Biden to pump investment into the category. Someone else attached this document on cultured meat, which contends that scientists can make a much better product much more efficiently, most notably avoiding the miserable CAFO situation. That would sure be great! Unfortunately (gross out warning!) I have heard that basically cultured meat relied on amniotic fluid as a key input, and I can't imagine that scaling very well. I hope I'm wrong!
