TED 2019: The $50 lab burger transforming food - BBC
Bruce Friedrich has been a vegetarian for 30 years but he has recently been enjoying the taste of meat again.
The burgers he has been tucking into have been described by Bill Gates as "the future of food" - lab-grown meat culled from the cells of animals.
Mr Friedrich was at the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference to talk about how lab-grown meat could feed an ever-increasing population and solve environmental issues.
The firm Beyond Meat was also in Vancouver to give delegates a taste of its plant-based meat substitute.
