Unsurprising! So I guess meat and dairy products are going to become astronomically expensive?

The one thing that I can't find is a palatable alternative to cheese. Are there any yet?

Is this the production of casein protein as a bulk industrial ingredient or actual drinkable milk for the consumer?

    Different labs around the world are trialing different things. Drinkable milk is definitely on the cards, but in NZ it seems the focus is on getting casein protein for making better vegan cheese and ice cream. There's an article talking with one NZ company here.

    The milk, cheese, and ice cream is already being created and taste tested. The problem is the scale, it needs to be scaled up significantly from current quantities and this may be a challenge. But there are many places working on it, so it's likely just a matter of time.
