How does lab grown meat works? Well a needle is used to painlessly remove muscle tissue from an animal. The muscle tissue is then dissected into a muscle cell. The muscle cell is then cultured and replicates to create more muscle cells. The only problem is that lab grown meat is only at its early stage, since it was first consume in 2013 at a price of $300,000. The benefits of lab grown meat are no animals are killed, and greener for the environment. There are concerns about lab grown meat because it is bioengineered. Jason Matheny said "We've alreaded accepted plenty of bioengineered foods, such as wine, cheese, tofu, and tempeh. None of them are found in nature."
I look forward to artificial meat becoming mainstream in the future. Veggie patties, created from vegetable protein(soy & beans) are nice, but an artificial meat patty is revolutionizing. I hope there aren't any serious health consequences for consuming artificial meat, and I'm optimistic with the research and development of "meat without murder."
Even PETA supports the research and development of lab grown meat.
“This is one of the most exciting developments ever,” says Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world’s largest animal rights organization. “It removes the suffering of billions of animals and still gives people the opportunity to eat what they want, minus the cruelty.”
