Many of the articles also made reference to the growing human
population and increasing demand for meat, while citing cultured
meat as a solution to the global food crisis. For example, the following
statement was provided in the Buffalo Examiner, “It is hard to come up
with arguments against these benefits, which are future-oriented and
could reasonably affect more than just one segment of the world population. In fact, they could create a food source for everyone…” The
last sub-theme of benefits offered by the articles was the human
health benefit. Cultured meat was described as a solution to health
risks associated with the consumption of meat. One description
found in the St. Petersburg Times included, “The fat content of the cultured meat could be controlled, and hamburger could be enriched
with omega-3, which prevents rather than causes heart attacks. And
food-borne disease could be significantly reduced.”
