Meat in a dish
No, I don't mean steak and mashed potatoes. I mean cloning a great piece of steak and growing it in a lab.
Nasa funded this in hopes of a way for astronauts to grow meat while in space. I think this could be a huge money saver if this is developed. Owning a cattle farm isn't cheap, you have to raise, feed, protect and nurture the animals until they are ready to be slaughtered. That all requires time, resources and people. those require money, and a lot of it.
According to the article only small amount have been grown, about 1cm long, but they believe you could make a small pork chop in only 30 days. 30 days, that's nothing, compared to the years it would normally take to raise an animal, then process it.
It was brought up in class that it has a strange texture, but eventually that will be taken care of also. The possibilities of this are virtually endless.

yeah it is endless and it sounds cool, but peatry dish food, i don't know about that i actually like my food to be naturally grown the full thirty years or whatever it takes.
ReplyDeleteI personally think labs are for science and not to grow my food, i also would like to know how safe it is for consumption because anything that can grow that quickly raises concerns on what im about to eat. so until they do further research and test then i will stick with the traditional way of raising meat.
