  • 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.

  • clamorous animal rights group PETA announced it would award $1 million to the first person to come up with a way to make commercially viable in vitro meat by 2012. The fake meat would have to be indistinguishable from the real deal, according to competition rules, and it would have to be cheap enough to succeed in the marketplace.

      Organization willing to support the development of producing artificial meat
  • The technology to produce in vitro meat is almost in place, says Mironov, but "there are bottlenecks" in the process — namely scale and cost. Given the current technology, it would cost $1 million to turn out a 250g piece of beef. The problem boils down to producing a cell-culture medium in large enough quantities at a low enough price

      Very expensive to develop technology of artificial meat production
  • The group concluded that it will be possible to produce in vitro meat in large quantities in the future, but not without funding to continue research.

      Flavor perspective: Jeff Wood is a stakeholder disagreeing flavor of artificial meat: Taste different from actual meat
  • He has launched two new projects to cultivate fat tissue and increase the amount of myoglobin in meat. Myoglobin is by far the biggest iron carrier in muscle, which Post says is an important component of the taste

      Flavor perspective: Mark Post is a stakeholder on the agreeing the flavor of artificial meat find ways to enhance the flavor of meat
  • If Post manages to produce a hamburger that looks and tastes like the real thing, then the project’s US backer may not be the only person keen to fund it through to our supermarket shelves.

  • 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 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.

      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 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.
