Low consumer acceptance emerges as one important barrier to the introduction of cultivated meat, a novel food which offers an opportunity for more sustainable and ethical meat production.

When winning is the ultimate goal, balancing self-interest with helping a fellow player in distress can be a tough decision; yet it happens.
