Test-tube meat is getting closer to leaving the lab and being served on our plates.
Memphis Meats, which grows meat from animal cells, says it hopes to have its animal-free products on the market in three to four years - and has unveiled the first lab-grown meatball to the public.
It is one of several firms developed 'test tube meats' that could one day be cheaper and more environmentally friendly to produce than traditional farming
'This absolutely the future of meat,' said Memphis Meats CEO Uma Valeti.
'We plan to do to the meat industry what the car did to the horse and buggy.
'Cultured meat will completely replace the status quo and make raising animals to eat them simply unthinkable.'
The firm has been growing real meat in small quantities using cells from cows, pigs and chickens, he revealed.
'We love meat. But like most Americans, we don't love the many negative side effects of conventional meat production: environmental degradation, a slew of health risks, and food products that contain antibiotics, fecal matter, pathogens, and other contaminants,' the firm says on its website.

These cells develop inside bioreactor tanks into skeletal muscle that can be harvested in between nine and 21 days, Mr. Valeti said.
Although Valeti mentions no animals are slaughtered in making the meats, the firm does use fetal bovine serum from unborn calves' blood to initiate the process. When a pregnant cow is slaughtered, blood is drown from the fetus through its heart. In order to separate the blood cells from the serum, the blood is sent through a centrifuge and then filtered further.

Grow Tofu or something normal people don’t eat in test tubes.
If there is no animal fat in the product, it will taste terrible.
