Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Lab-grown meat is OK for human consumption, FDA says
Laboratory-grown meat, or cultured meat, is meat produced by culturing animal cells in vitro. It is a form of cellular agriculture. Cultured meat has the potential to address the environmental impact of meat production, animal welfare, food security, and human health. It requires substantially less water and land to develop meat than growing and getting meat from animals. Also, since the food system, most of which is from animal agriculture, represents about a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, lab-grown meat is expected to help mitigate climate change. The question is how close we are to seeing cultured meat on store shelves. As for safety, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is getting close to approving the lab-grown chicken meat developed by a cultured-meat manufacturer. When it comes to the economy, time will tell when it’ll become affordable for consumers who are conscious of animal welfare and the environment.
Enjoy reading the article and think if you’re ready to eat lab-grown meat.
