How would you like to
have meat for your scrumptious homemade kebabs coming from a lab instead of meat
market? Sounds gross or electrifying? A little of both to me.
Well, this may happen
in the near future. The news just struck me today that a team of Dutch scientist
successfully produced meat in a Petri dish. The process goes on like this:
From the animal muscle
tissues, stem cells are collected which are then fed nutrients to help them
grow. The already tripled millions of these cells are then contained into a Petri
dish where they are turned into small pieces of muscles and finally into frozen
pellets. After having enough quantity, these muscles are deforested and
compacted into a petty to be cooked.
Here you go! Bon appétit Iron free, protein free and fat free meat, which must be good news for half of self inflicted fat deprived us.courtesy, http://www.washingtonpost.com, 2013, (blog)
The aim of scientist seems
undoubtedly simple, that is: achieving the good of environment and economy,
where rearing and slaughtering of animals is costly. Besides, the current
worldwide meat production is on the verge of achieving its maximum capacity and
standing in need of alternatives. However, it will still take twenty more years
to have lab meat available at supermarket shelves. Right now, we can only anticipate
if the morsels of this cultured meat are actually socially and economically approved
of in both Eastern and Western societies.
Till then, savor your mouths with “nature made” meat as much as you can (no
offense to those on diet)! And me? I think I just lost appétit; for meat at
least, for a while!
