I first heard about this on the podcast
Where
interviews
Paul Shapiro
on his book called,
(Are you ready for this?)
"Clean Meat."
On
The Good Food Institute's
web-site,
they explain what
Clean Meat
is.
In case you have not heard about it before.
WHAT IS CLEAN MEAT?
Clean meat, which is also referred to as "cultured meat," is a groundbreaking technology that is poised to revolutionize the global food system.Rather than obtaining meat from animals raised on environmentally destructive factory farms and slaughtered in filthy slaughterhouses, clean meat is produced by taking a small sample of animal cells and replicating them in a culture outside of the animal. The resulting product is 100 percent real meat, but without the antibiotics, E. coli, salmonella, or waste contamination – all of which come standard in conventional meat production.
Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University proved meat could be created this way when he debuted the first clean meat hamburger in London in 2013–at a cost of roughly $330,000.
To put the developments of the past few years into perspective, the San Francisco startup Memphis Meats is now producing clean meat for $40 per gram, which is less than one - fiftieth of the cost from just a few years ago. And Dr. Post’s company, Mosa Meats, plans to sell its clean meat hamburgers for $10 a patty by 2020.
The end goal is to produce clean meat that is cheaper than even the least expensive conventionally produced chicken. Leading experts believe that is achievable within 10 years given adequate support for clean meat research and development.
What has me interested in this product
has nothing to do with its taste.
I am all for it for one huge reason.
About 80 percent of antibiotics produced in the U.S. are given to farm animals. This steady stream of antibiotics contributes to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and superbugs that cannot be killed by standard antibiotics. Clean meat does not require the use of antibiotics.
is becoming a real problem in this
World.
If we can stop slaughtering farm animals for food,
grow cleaner food for our tables,
and stop pumping our food with antibiotics,
sign me up for the first
$10 Clean Meat Burger!
