Why’s and How’s of Artificial Meat

ARTIFICIAL MEAT The Why's and the How's • The demand for Meat, for a growing Global Population, is expected to rise above the supply for it. • 70 % of the world population is partially or completely dependent on livestock for their livelihood and food security. • People eat at least a Quarter Billion Tones of Meat Annually Worldwide.

METHOD FOR LAB PREPARATION • Cultured with nutrients and growth promoting chemicals to multiply. • More than a million stem cells develop. • Coalesced into small strips of muscle (centimetre long and few millimetres thick). • Strips are collected into pellets which are frozen • Defrosted pellets compact into patty • 20,000 strips to make a single 5-ounce patty WHY LAB MADE MEAT?
