 Expect to hear a lot more about
in-vitro meat (aka cultured meat) in the coming years, as the price of natural beef, poultry and
fish increase, while ethical discussions of factory farming persist. In-vitro meat is technically not cruel to
animals since the flesh has been lab generated and was never part of a living
animal.
The cultivation of muscular
fibers started in the early 1970s and involved muscle from animals taken and
grown in cell culture. Stem cells from
animals have also been used to explore the technology. This is artificially grown tissue that can be
cooked and eaten, just as a slaughtered animal.
In fact the first in-vitro hamburger
was very publicly eaten during a press conference in London in 2013. The problem is that in vitro meat is still
fairly expensive, but if price issues are dealt with it could symbolize a new
age for hungry people around the globe.
