Examining the Future of Meat Production

Could your children be eating steaks that don’t come from a cow? It’s possible according to an MIT investigator.

Caleb Harper said the far future of meat production could see meat produced in a lab.

“Not raising animal proteins with the bone, the ligament, the brain, the eyes, all the things that we don’t eat. You can multiply cells in a controlled environment and create new products. They’re dong leather and next will be meat. It sounds maybe a little weird.”

USDA and other experts doubt that it will ever fully replace conventional livestock as the primary source of our meat.
