Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The truth about lab-grown meat
Cultured meat is produced using tissue engineering techniques that are used in regenerative medicines. Though the production process is constantly evolving, lab-grown meat is still as economical as regular meat yet. Also, there are ethical, health, environmental, cultural, and economic discussions about this artificially grown meat.
How cultured meat is produced? In the case of chicken, first, take some cells from a chicken feather. Then feed the cells with nutrients in a liquid solution so that they can develop and multiply into muscle fibers. The nutrition given is no different from the feed that chickens are provided in terms of calories and proteins. Once grown, they look like ground chicken meat. If you make nuggets with the lab-grown chicken meat, you won’t find a distinctive difference from regular nuggets. It sounds similar to the sustainable aviation fuel (Vol.3457) to replace fossil jet fuels. The differences are the process for production and how much it costs. Would you be willing to eat lab-grown chicken nuggets?
Enjoy watching the video and learn about lab-grown meat.
