Cultured Meat

The term is now ‘cultured’ meat. It is not from a lab anymore. It is coming out of the extruder now.

However, it is not vegan at all!

Wiki says: “Cultured meat is a form of cellular agriculture where meat is produced by culturing animal cells in vitro. Cultured meat is produced using tissue engineering techniques pioneered in regenerative medicine”.

Sounds about right!

Is it the future? Not to vegans. It is still meat.

So why should we bother? Well, if we really want to eat meat but also want to be eco-friendly this is the way to go.

Is it there yet? Not really. There is a restaurant in Israel serving cultured meat. But this is a novelty.

It is still very much at the trial stage and there also an element of government approvals.

There is still a long way to go, but the genie is out of the bottle, so it will of course happen. Maybe sooner than what we imagine.
