The Fascinating Case For Eating Lab-Grown Meat

We don't want to get alarmist on you, but the future of food production is moving out of the fields and into the labs -- just like science fiction predicted. It's clear with the onslaught of processed foods that have taken over our grocery aisles. It's further proven with new products like Soylent. And lab-grown meat is just one more step in that direction.

Before you wrinkle your nose at the idea, think about this: lab-grown meat is cheaper to produce (though not yet cheaper to buy), doesn't involve the slaughtering of animals, and uses fewer environmental resources. It does come at a cost though, which is blander meat. Find out why, and how it's produced, with this new video from Eater.
