World’s first slaughter-free lab grown fish - A San Diego foodtech startup has grown fillets of yellowtail fish entirely from cells, making the local company one of the most scientifically advanced in the world of lab-grown seafood.

1) I've working in R+D and manufacturing, this statement is false. You do not want artisanal processors. It takes decades to perfect processes. Intel has a computer system that monitors and adjusts atmospheric conditions in their buildings to improve yield and production quality. The more you make, the more you learn. This is similar to saying that someone who lifts weights infrequently can probably lift more than a weightlifter. Regarding a smaller network -- that is also false. Redundacy is the backbone of reliability. If you run RAID mirroring on your computer, and a hard drive has a 1% chance (obviouslt higher than realityl of shitting out on a given day, you have a 0.01% chance of losing your data.

I don't care about any of that. I could live without it all, and I definitely don't need that thinking applied to my food.

2) Yes. But since you are applying mass production of chicken nuggets in 1993 to r+d of modern lab-grown meats, it seemed fair.

I'm comparing lab grown meat to mcdonalds pink slime because they are qualitatively similar. Not because they chronologically coincide. Pink slime was produced for a lot of the same reasons offered as benefits of lab grown meat. It's just cells, anyway. Who cares if we run it through a washing machine full of bleach. It's just cells.
