The USDA allows lab-grown meat to be sold and consumed for the first time. Two companies, Upsize Foods and Good Meat, received permission to sell lab-grown chicken products. This addresses ethical issues and has environmental benefits. Good Meat has been selling modified chicken in Singapore since 2020. It's not vegetarian but provides an alternative to traditional meat. The article raises questions about the environmental impact of lab resources and the ethics of serving lab-grown meat in restaurants without disclosure. Hi class, my name is Emily and this podcast is going to be on an article that I saw trending on TikTok. The article states that the USDA allows lab-grown meat to be sold and consumed for the first time. Two companies, Upsize Foods and Good Meat, received permission to sell the lab-grown chicken products. The U.S. would be the second country to do this after Singapore. The meat is produced from animal cells. Many see this as a breakthrough since it addresses ethical issues involving animals. There is no harm done to the animals and you don't have to consider if the animals were treated properly prior to slaughter. This also would have environmental impact if this were to go mainstream, there would be no need for over-farming of animals. Good Meat has been selling modified chicken in Singapore since 2020 and sees this as an achievement and also taking a step forward in their industry. The meat isn't vegetarian as it's created by animal cells from cows and chickens. This provides consumers with an alternative to traditional meat. This does leave the question of if this were to become mainstream, how would the resources in the labs affect the environment? This article mentions that Good Meat products will be sold at an undisclosed restaurant in D.C. I wanted to ask how you would feel if you were to eat the meat at this restaurant without being told what it was at first and if you were willing to try it. I myself am always willing to try anything as far as making the complete change. I don't think I would do that just yet, but I'm unsure if putting the meat in a restaurant and not letting people know if that's ethical or not, because granted it is still meat and it's still like the regular animal product, I've never tried it, so I'm assuming it's just like regular food, but is that something that should be considered? What if someone doesn't want to try it and you just take that option away from them?
