Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.
Gonna wait a bit because I wanna make sure there aren't any crazy unforeseen side effects on humans, but this is a tremendous step forward for several environmental and ecological problems and I'm ready for a minimal-kill future.
Really looking forward to this! Don't care if they find out it gives you cancer. I smoked cigarettes for decades and you can't dip those puppies in mango hab sauce straight out the air fryer!
I was curious if they need to use any animal products in their process so I checked out their website and they're claiming that the cell culture media they use for food production is animal component free. "FBS is used in small amounts to sustain cell viability and growth during our cell line and development stage. This stage occurs well before commercial food production begins. Our company goal is to completely eliminate the use of animal components in our cell feed, and we continue to make progress on this front." I would be interested to read more about the details of their cell culture technology but they don't seem to have published any papers describing it.
It looks like their first release is at some fancy restaurant in San Francisco. I would love to try it but I'm sure it will be packed for forever. I'll wait until it hits the shelves
I wonder if, in the very distant future, people will be able to grow their own meat at home from a small sample. And if so, whether anyone will try making burgers from themselves, when they get a cut or a scrape.
This is exciting!!! Hoping lots more money gets thrown into making this marketable, the beef industry better not attack this to keep it from their market. Cows require way too much energy and money to raise in the numbers we do. It's a win win.... less abuse for the cattle because itll be less cattle, healthier planet, etc.
