100% they absolutely were.

Give geneticists 20 years, we'll have lab grown T-Rex in the grocery store

I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn't such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.

Well that's true if you have a live animal producing your meat. Not sure that applies if the meat is lab grown though?

At the point where we're making lab-grown dinosaur meat, I suspect the cool factor is way more important than silly things like efficiency. T-Rex meat all the way babyyy

"T-Rex is soooo gamey. I prefer Diplodocus veal" "Have you tried pteranodon wings? Like buffalo wings from real buffalo"

Can't wait for brontoburgers.

Or the ribs that are so good that you order them knowing you're gonna have to flip your car back on its wheels when you're done.
