"Lab-Grown Beef-Infused Rice: A New Frontier in Food Technology"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists in South Korea have developed a beef-rice hybrid grown in a lab, combining cow muscle and fat stem cells with rice grains to create a protein-rich food source with a significantly lower carbon footprint than traditional beef farming. The hybrid has more protein and fat than regular rice, is cheaper than natural meat, and has a lower risk of foodborne illnesses. Researchers aim to commercialize the product as a low-cost and nutritious food source with potential applications in addressing famine, natural disasters, and long-term space travel.
