ah would you look at that, no mention of quantity.
It's 60 times faster, there should be the volume of an entire pig's worth in like 2 weeks.
There is a magical process that is called "upscaling". More relevant is the cost of things, which likely will be higher here.
"60 times faster" is a scalability claim. A pig can make a pig's worth of meat in about 6 months. That is a rate, that is a quantity over a time. In fact actually doing the math, increasing that rate by 60 times mean the same quantity over 3 days!
Scalability has been the hurdle for all lab grown meat projects. This is claiming to have it beaten, Im asking for the proof. Show me the scale, show me the results, if they stopped at a thin film of meat cells covering a petri dish, they havent scaled up anything yet.
