      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.

  • 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.

      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,

      examples
  • 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.
