Dutch Cultivated Meat Company Meatable Reveals Its Pork Sausages
Netherlands' agricultural success based on its pioneering farming methods is now again at the forefront of food innovation thanks to its cultured meat ecosystem.

The plant-based future of food doesn’t always taste that great
I cover the plant-based food industry for Vox, so I get a lot of free food samples. A lot. Some of the products that startups mail me are delicious, many are just okay, and a few have been downright awful, bad enough to make me wonder out loud, “Why are they letting people eat this stuff?”
