McDonalds Math Isn't Mathing

McDonald’s has relied on Cargill as a core beef supplier for decades. This is public knowledge. What is less public is that Cargill began putting money into lab-grown meat technology in 2017 with a company called Memphis Meats (a company that first produced "cell-cultured" beef and poultry).  

McDonald’s is the single largest buyer of beef on the planet. Its US purchases alone run into the hundreds of millions of pounds each year. The US cattle herd has been shrinking for years, so where is all this "beef" coming from?  

No public filing or menu label currently lists "cell-cultured" ingredients at McDonald’s. They continue to describe its patties as 100%  conventional beef. I don't know about you, but the math isn't mathing for me.

Thoughts?
