In a world with 7 billion + people, the demand for meat is growing faster than the planet can sustain without catastrophic deforestation, water and air degradation and health threats like E.Coli and antibiotic resistance. It takes 23 calories of grain to make one calorie of beef –we must find smarter more efficient ways to produce our food. Thankfully, we are.
The meat industry is long overdue for innovation. We’re using cutting-edge technology to grow real meat without the animals, in a process that’s better for the body and the planet. The result? “The meatball that changed the world.” Here is a direct video link.
See This start-up is making real meatballs in a lab without killing a single animal:
” The lab-grown meat process goes something like this, according to Valeti. Find ultra-high quality cows and pigs. Take meat cells from a pork shoulder or other cut of meat. Find the cells capable of self-renewal and cultivate them in a sterile environment. The cells are harvested early for tender cuts of meat, and harvested later for textured cuts.
Since lab-grown meat doesn’t need to snack on grain to survive, the energy inputs can be significantly lower than with “real” meat. Memphis Meats claims it requires just three calories of energy input for one calorie of energy output.”
