Singapore doubles down on lab-grown meat as Silicon Valley backs off

I must respectfully disagree. Geopolitical independence is fundamentally less of a concern for luxury goods. You not being able to get a fancy steak is not a national security threat.

Sure, but it's not going to make people happy. (tongue in cheek) Unhappy people can be a national security threat.

Isn’t part of the point that they are importing their staples and luxury, rice as well as steak?

Not in times of scarcity (with a recent example being the pandemic).

Meat is actually a "superfood" that gives you both energy and the building blocks your body needs to keep working. We don't need it in developped countries but in times of trouble when importations might be impossible, meat is not going to be a luxury.
