The day you can grow meat tissue from a few cells in a lab is not far off. Can you imagine growing it even at home in a device like a bread maker. This is no just a dream. Scientists are trying to develop an industrial process to grow meat tissue.
Once successful, mass slaughter of a farm animal will never be a daily issue for a meat delicacy. The beef, pork or chicken would then be grown in incubators from a few starter cells, a growth medium and some hormones to get the cells to divide.
Researchers are looking forward to the day when meat could be cultivated in industrial bioreactors or even in a device sitting on a kitchen counter!
