  • For the moment, the only types of meat they are proposing to make this way are processed meats like minced meat, hamburgers or hot dogs.

      there's a limitation of the use of the artificial meat up to now
  • As long as it's cheap enough and has been proven to be scientifically valid, I can't see any reason people wouldn't eat it,

  • Dutch scientists have been growing pork in the laboratory since 2006, and while they admit they haven't gotten the texture quite right or even tasted the engineered meat, they say the technology promises to have widespread implications for our food supply.

Artificial meat: A solution for growing demand?

shared by TAM SHARON on 26 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Synthetic meat involves taking a small amount of actual meat cells and using them to grow additional cells in a laboratory.

      definition of artificial meat
  • Meat is not made of just one type of cell, it is made of several types, including muscle which gives it texture.

      definition of artificial meat
  • In-vitro meat may provide a solution to the current resource intensive farming methods and a way to significantly reduce the environmental footprint including land, water and greenhouse gas emissions. It also addresses ethical concerns about the treatment of livestock.

  • Modern meat production is both expensive and very stressful for the environment and especially the animals. This is because consumers want the cheapest possible food, thereby pushing the farmers to constantly improve this process. Therefore, researchers are developing artificial meat in laboratories.

  • The researchers found that growing meat in a lab rather than slaughtering animals would generate only a tiny fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional livestock production
  • It could also help to feed the world’s ever-growing population, which is currently suffering from a food crisis.

  • These are made from animal-friendly artificial meat grown from stem cells: packed with Omega 3 and vitamins, they "crackle in your mouth". Yum.
  • The truth, though, is that artificial steak is still a way off. Pizza toppings are closer. The star of the Dutch research into in-vitro meat, Dr Mark Post, promised that the first artificial hamburger, made from 10bn lab-grown cells, would be ready for "flame-grilling by Heston Blumenthal" by the end of 2012.

  • the first artificial meat — stem cell sausage grown in the lab without the need to slaughter animals.
  • The question is whether this means that vegetarians who now refuse to eat meat for philosophical reasons would be able to eat a ribeye without moral qualms.
