Episode notes

In order to realize where a meat comes from today, one really has to disentangle the old McDonald had a farm fantasy from what actually is. A antibiotic fed engineered chicken lasting for 45 days and about 100,000 to 200,000 in a warehouse that never sees the light. And it's a very similar story for other farm animals. So that is the meat we eat today. That's 99. It's a definition of cruelty. Yeah. But as it relates to cultivated meat specifically, it starts with a cell and you can get that cell from a cell bank. You can get it from a biopsy of an animal. You canget it from a fresh piece of meat.

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.
