Slaughter-free Meat There is a looming crisis over the world's growing appetite for meat. With regard to this issue, my friend told me an intriguing news about slaughter-free meat. Slaughter-free meat is also described as cultured, synthetic, in-vitro, lab-grown, or clean meat. This meat is produced by taking a small sample of animal cells and replicating them in a bioreactor. According to the news my friend mentioned, a food company in San Francisco now gives us an opportunity to taste chicken nuggets grown from the cells of a chicken feather. Moreover, the company's chief executive anticipates that their nuggets will be on the menu in a handful of restaurants by the end of this year. This technology could solve the problem of how to feed a crowded earth without the slaughter of animals, but personally, I don't have the courage to taste this state-of-the-art meat.
