Meat Makers: the artificial beef revolution
Professor Mark Post, Ethan Brown, Bill Gates, John, Simone, Greg Boland, Peter

While Post focuses on scaling lab-grown muscle tissue from stem cells, Brown employs plant-based extraction to engineer sensory profiles that mimic animal fat and texture for mass adoption. Despite facing distinct technical hurdles in texture, flavor, and price, both leaders aim to execute a food revolution comparable to the shift from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles.
