This month an American company was approved to sell cultured meat in Singapore.
"The cultivated or no-kill meat contains all the protein and nutrients of real chicken without causing deforestation, food safety risks or animal welfare issues associated with livestock production" says Eat Just CEO Josh Tetrick. "We shouldn't have to deal with all that to have a chicken dinner with our families. We can have real, high-quality meat without killing an animal, without tearing down a forest, without exacerbating climate change, without increasing the probability of another zoonotic disease.”
When I first thought of the idea of eating chicken grown in a lab, the thought of it didn't sound very appealing. But there is also nothing appealing about the animal cruelty that occurs regularly at many chicken farms, at least here in the US.
How do some of you feel about eating such meat? Do you think this way of producing meat could be a solution to some of the environmental issues currently caused by meat production? Or shoud we instead be focusing resources to transforming our animal farms to become more like working biodiversity ecosystems instead of finding solutions in a lab grown meat?
Some food for thought!
