These stem cells are then cultivated in a bioreactor, which replicates the conditions inside an animal\u2019s body and provides the necessary nutrients for the cells to grow into meat.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if that description hasn\u2019t piqued your interest, here\u2019s some more information from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonappetit.com\/story\/lab-grown-meat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bon Appetit<\/a> to whet your appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Bon Appetit spoke to Amy Chen, COO of Upside Foods, and other food technicians, who provided a detailed description of the process of cellular meat production.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/sausage-maker-gets-rid-fake-meat-damning-results-believed-written-press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lab-grown meat<\/a> production involves taking a sample of cells, such as stem, muscle, and fat cells, either from a live animal through a small biopsy or from a fertilized chicken egg.<\/p>\n<p>The selected cells, chosen for their ability to grow well and taste good, are then cultivated inside bioreactors, which resemble large &#8220;stainless-steel beer fermenters.&#8221; They are provided with a nutrient-rich solution containing ingredients like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-states-renew-push-for-taxes-on-sugary-drinks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sugars,<\/a> amino acids, and vitamins.<\/p>\n<h3>Would You Ever Eat Lab-Grown Meat?<\/h3>\n<p>During the cultivation process, the meat cells grow inside the bioreactors for at least a week or two until they reach their desired state. When they\u2019ve finished growing, they are harvested, and the cells are &#8220;essentially killed,&#8221; ending their growth.<\/p>\n<p>The harvested cells resemble a &#8220;pink slush&#8221; coming directly out of the bioreactor.

According to Bon Appetit, a pound of cell-cultured <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nauseating-report-precancerous-cells-found-lab-grown-meat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meat<\/a> would cost about $17 to make, compared to $2 for a pound of beef. By the time lab-grown beef gets onto a plate at a restaurant, you could be paying $100 for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/burger-king-plans-mass-closure-stores-reclaim-flame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">burger<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe it\u2019s about climate change. Perhaps true believers in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/waste-time-scientists-now-claiming-climate-change-affecting-major-league-baseball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate change<\/a> are willing to eat this &#8220;meat&#8221; because it\u2019s good for the planet. Except, it\u2019s not even good for the environment.<\/p>\n<p>A recent study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucdavis.edu\/food\/news\/lab-grown-meat-carbon-footprint-worse-beef\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC Davis<\/a> researchers found that &#8220;lab-grown or &#8216;cultivated&#8217; meat\u2019s environmental impact is likely to be &#8216;orders of magnitude&#8217; higher than retail beef based on current and near-term production methods&#8221; due to the use of &#8220;highly refined or purified growth media, the ingredients needed to help animal cells multiply.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, it\u2019s gross, expensive, and bad for the environment, and yet the FDA is pushing it. It\u2019s not surprising, then, that not everyone is willing to start chewing on clone bones just yet.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview, well-known nutritionist and food author Diana Rodgers told The New York Post, &#8220;I\u2019d rather eat my shoe than lab-grown meat.&#8221; She expressed uncertainty about its healthiness due to a lack of accessible nutritional information and comprehensive life cycle assessments and public data on the production process of lab-grown meat.<\/p>\n<p>But at least one person says he\u2019s a huge believer in synthetic meat \u2014 Bill Gates.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/2021\/02\/14\/1018296\/bill-gates-climate-change-beef-trees-microsoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MIT Technology Review<\/a>, Gates said, &#8220;I do think all rich countries should move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-hinson-democrats-keep-your-hands-off-our-beef\/\" title=\"Rep.
