Meet the Future Meat
People eat more meat than before. Some even have meat for every meal. However, the number of people on earth is still growing, so there will be more mouths to feed. How do we get more meat then?
Dr. Mark Post has an answer to this. We can now grow meat in labs. He and his team take cells from animals and then grow them into meat. By doing so, no animals lose their lives. This kind of meat is also cleaner because it comes from the lab. What's more, raising animals creates a lot of greenhouse gas, but growing lab meat doesn't. It is more friendly to the environment and better for the earth.
How does the lab meat taste? Many people tried it and couldn't tell it from real meat because it tastes just like the real thing. Now for the big question: Would you try it?
認識未來肉品
人類攝取的肉量高於以往。有些人甚至每餐都吃肉。然而,地球的人口數仍不斷攀升,所以需要養活的人口也更多。那我們要如何得到更多的肉呢?
馬克.波斯特博士對此有一個解決辦法。我們現在可以在實驗室中培養出肉。他和他的團隊從動物身上抽取細胞,然後培製成肉類。藉由這樣做,就不會有動物喪命。這種肉也更乾淨,因為是從實驗室中培養。此外,飼養動物會製造很多溫室氣體,但培養肉不會。它對環境較友善,對地球也更好。
培養肉嚐起來如何?許多人試過後都無法將其與真正的肉作分辨,因為它嚐起來就像真的一樣。現在重要的問題是:你會想要試試嗎?
