    Just a question of time, before milk is produced in a lab.
    Just because they can doesnt mean people will want to buy it

    The last time I read about it... it cost around $2500 per kg of beef initially, early on this year price dropped to about $1800 per kg. So we may have a bit more to go before it gets below $29 per kg.

    All you need are a few cells and things reproduce.
    The point is that Baa_Baa said ATM will reward you/us for years to come.
    Maybe, maybe not.
    Synthetic a2 milk?
    Just take your money off the table while you can before a clever dick or Trougher beats you to it.

    The Asians have been producing imitation meat from tofu for vegetarians since 30 years ago! Looks like meat, taste like meat and has texture of meat.

    The Japanese has been producing imitation fish and seafood (surimi) since the 1970s.

    Served to grow the market but there has been no real switch out of the real stuff into the imitation stuff.

    They probably all need some milk to wash it down with so it tastes better.

    Absolutely - and money will grow on trees.

    Personally not sure about ATM's longterm success ... but not too concerned about fake meat and milk (and money ); Sure - there will be people who use the fake stuff but I am sure there always will be people who want the real thing ... and are prepared to pay a premium for it.

    I am one of those that likes the real thing, and happy to pay a premium for it.

    When ATM China share goes from 5.1% to 5.6% how much extra revenue does this generate for A2?

    Still weird Danone China IF sales down 20% in Sept quarter ....market must be shrinking!

    Jayne was ceo loyalty for a month before she resigned so we can't count that as having any meaningful impression on the ATM board!
