Director of Innovation of the Good Food Institute Discusses Clean Meat
- mtgx 9y agoClean meat is neat, and it becoming mainstream over the next 2 decades is probably inevitable. But how healthy will it be? Will it be healthier than most meat sold in stores right now? Healthier than "grass-fed organic meat" even? It seems like most GMO foods right now are going in the opposite direction, in an effort to increase quantity/$, while losing nutrients/$. I hope clean meat won't take the same direction. Are there any experiments in which they give clean meat to lab rats?
- shirazi 9y agoI don't come from a science background. But, from what I understand, Clean Meat is supposed to be a lot healthier because it is derived from the same animal cells but in a highly controlled environment. This allows it to be free from diseases and other negative effects of animal farms and slaughter. During the interview, Brad Barbera gave a great answer when he compared cultured meat to a brewery. It is a highly controlled environment where safety and standards are in place.
