IT’S SOMETHING FUTURISTIC THAT MIGHT BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. LAB-GROWN MEAT IS MAKING MAJOR ADVANCEMENTS IN ITS TECHNOLOGY, TASTE, AND TEXTURE.

ONE COMPANY MAKING ITS OWN ARTIFICIAL MEAT SAYS THEY COULD SOON BE IN RESTAURANTS AS EARLY AS THIS YEAR.

THE FDA EVEN RECENTLY APPROVED OF A CHICKEN BREAST THAT WAS MADE IN A LAB…SAYING IT WAS SAFE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. THE COMPANY “UPSIDE FOODS” WHO GOT APPROVAL SAYS THEY HOPE TO BE SERVING THE DISH IN RESTAURANTS THIS YEAR AND THEN SELLING CULTIVATED-MEAT IN GROCERY STORES BY 20-28.

THESE LABORATORIES TAKE SMALL SAMPLES OF LIVESTOCK CELLS AND PUMP THEM WITH NUTRIENTS AND WATCH THEM GROW INSIDE STEEL VESSELS CALLED BIO-REACTORS. IT’S THEN PROCESSED INTO SOMETHING THAT LOOKS AND TASTES LIKE A REAL CUT OF MEAT.
