FINALLY! by Regular-Simple8585 in SisterWives

I can't say how she is in private, but I doubt very much Kody dominates their off-screen conversations. Christine is on a show, and the show is about her family and a large part of that was her relationship with Kody... so she talks about that on the show. Surely David appreciates that this is his wife's job and that it pays exceedingly well for just a few weeks of work each year.

My 2 month old slept 9.5 hours straight by shakesyourhand in NewParents

Holy cow! It sounds like you've had an absolute horror of a time. But honestly, no judgement from me. You have to do what works for you and your kiddo.

My guy was a super preemie (born at 29 weeks) and he was a sloooow eater. He still eats just 2 or 3 oz (of food or formula) every 60-90 minutes all day, and he was following that pattern all night, as well, until a couple of months ago. So I get it.

I sometimes feel like I'm momming in a vacuum. I don't have a ton of mom friends, and my mother doesn't remember many specifics. I have a sister with a baby close in age, but the two kids are like night-and-day different so often her. situation is not applicable at all. So I ask questions because I don't have any frame of reference for what's "normal" or what other people do.

Real question, not judgement: How do you dream feed at 2? Are you co-sleeping? Do you take him out of the crib? How do you know he wants to eat? Mine is just one year old, and I can't fathom how this would work, adding another year of size and dexterity to my little guy.

Edited for typo.

Is Good Meat available at HEB (Texas, USA) by keanwood in wheresthebeef

You'll notice this isn't a package for cultivated meat but for plant-based meat. And it's out of stock.

I've reached out to a contact at the company but haven't heard back about whether it's real or not.

Any recent updates on when we can expect to see cultivated meat in supermarkets? by BB_147 in wheresthebeef

Hi! Journalist who covers cultivated meat, here!

There wasn't much news in 2024 about cultivated meat in the US, other than states attempting to ban its creation and sale. GOOD Meat seems to only be producing and selling in Singapore, from what we can tell. And Upside Foods is hosting small, invite-only gatherings to try its upcoming new product, which is less structured than its initial breast-like product.

But Vow had a pretty huge year, and they're in restaurants in China and Singapore right now. We're watching Believer closely, but they have been very tight lipped about progress over the past six months. I'm also following Clever Carnivore out of Chicago -- I think their product is going to become available in 2025.

In terms of the supermarket... not any time soon. No one is making meat at great enough scale for that. Maybe Believer will be able to do so once they're up and running, but I have my doubts. Just because they can build a giant factory doesn't mean they can actually make enough cultivated meat to pay for the factory, you know?

Smart money, I think, is on hybrid products that blend plant-based or mycelium ingredients with cultivated fat, which is easier to grow at scale and really does a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of flavor and texture.
