The lab-grown meat revolution that never arrived

Original: Where's the Beef?: The lab-grown-meat revolution that wasn't

A new Harper's Magazine essay by Erin Somers examines why lab-grown meat has failed to live up to years of hype. Once billed as an environmentally friendly revolution in food production, cultivated meat has struggled with high production costs, regulatory hurdles, and weak consumer appetite, leaving its promised transformation of the meat industry largely unrealised.

Why now: The essay's contrarian assessment of a much-hyped technology is sparking debate about whether cultivated meat can ever scale.
