Meat as you know is animal's main source of protein...
Good right? Wrong lol. Not so much in the fact of the meat itseld but how it's obtained. I mean think about it. Hundreds of thousands of animals are slaughtered everyday for the purpose of human consumption. Killing animals is wrong...but we may be able to avoid this...by producing meat in a laboratory setting...
It doesn't seem so far fetched considering that scientists have actually began to clone animals. With in vitro meat, we would be able to control fat content and even make it healthier. The article states that many livestock meat is the source of disease. To quote the artice, we'd be able to prevent a heart attack with a burger rather than lead to one.
I feel great about the idea. But I know that it won't go over so good with public. I mean individuals were upset about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) so I know this won't go over well. GMFs (genetically modified foods) have replaced many fruits and vegetables in the store...even some sausage. Once individuals found out about this they were a bit upset.
Check out the article for yourself...I think it's a great idea!
