      I studied Biotechnology in college so we were always making and fermenting and of course tasting the biotech foods we made. In our labs we made beer and cheese.

      We went to the brewery on our field trip which was interesting. In our hot press we made gin and wine – we had to add a lot of sugar in order for them to taste ok but it was fun making our own.

      Unfortunately not. I would love to try one of these lab grown meat burgers!
