The lab-grown meat revolution that never arrived

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

The piece looks back at claims that cellular agriculture would replace conventional livestock farming and asks where the industry stands now, reigniting debate about the technology's commercial viability, regulatory hurdles, and consumer appetite.

Why now: A major magazine's retrospective on the gap between cultivated-meat hype and reality is prompting fresh discussion.
