A proposed alternative to conventional meat production is
cultured meat (also referred to as lab grown meat or in-vitro meat).
Cultured meat utilizes technology to produce meat from animal cells
without killing the animal (Edelman et al., 2005; Hopkins & Dacey,
2008; Wales on Sunday, 2005). The production of cultured meat could
provide the benefits of more favorable saturated fat levels, reduced
food borne illnesses, reduced environmental impact, and is a proposed
solution to feeding the growing population
