This week, would you eat meat grown in a lab? It's a question you're likely going to have to answer sooner than later. Right now, a company called UPSIDE foods is seeking approval from the USDA to bring their cultured chicken to market. This after approval from the FDA saying they found no major concerns in the meat. So how does it work?A Chicken receives a biopsy, and those cells are cultured until they grow into more chicken meat that is edible by you - the consumer. The process takes about three weeks, but causes no death or injuries to the animals. And the idea is that it's just as natural as any other kind of meat.So.... would you eat it? We debate the answer, plus why despite thoughts this food would be cheaper, it could actually be exceptionally more expensive. And, what does this mean for those in the food and agriculture industry?

So what is his endgame?Meanwhile at Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is laying off thousands of his own employees. Why is it then that he's not getting the hate like Elon Musk? Is there a difference in the way the two are approaching their situations? Is it simply a matter of marketing and PR as for the purpose of these layoffs?
