Now for the real news: the United States Department of Agriculture approved California companies Good Meat and Upside Foods for commercial sale of lab-grown chicken. The US is the second country to authorize such sales, following Singapore. However, two undisclosed proprietary ingredients raise concerns.

The chicken, produced by incubating animal cells in steel tanks, costs more than $20 per pound.
