Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“No, cattle is not going extinct. You could make a huge argument that certain fish have the potential of going extinct because they're being overfished. So, where I think this really gets into a huge potential in the future is lab-based meat for fish alternatives.” – Matthew Regusci
“I'm certain there have to be risks with these products. Maybe we're moving away from Salmonella and E. coli to God knows what.” – Francine L Shaw
