Episode notes

If you're starting with a cell bank where you have a very characterized cell, you can actually pick the original genetic stock. After you identify the appropriate cell line, then you need to identify the right feed for that cell line. So in the same way that a chicken or a cow or a pig in a warehouse is consuming soy and corn and muscle and fat are building up on their bones before they're slaughtered. The cells need to consume some of the same stuff that's made up, that soy and corn is made up of.

In this episode, Peter and Josh, CEO of GOOD Meat, delve into the revolutionary concept of producing meat without slaughtering a single animal. The conversation explores the journey of GOOD Meat, from its inception in a studio apartment to its current expansive headquarters in Alameda, California. Tetrick's vision is to transform the global food system, reducing harm to animals and the environment while providing consumers with a sustainable and ethical alternative to conventionally produced meat.
