Raising the steaks: World's first 3D bioprinted RIBEYE STEAK that's 'just as tender and juicy as one you'd buy from a butcher' is unveiled The 3D bioprinted ribeye steak is real meat but requires no animals to be killed Cells from a swab are grown in a lab and then used to create the replica meat No price has yet been revealed for the ribeye and it could be three years before it is commercially available E

A juicy ribeye steak is a treat for many, but meat eating is increasingly falling out of fashion due to ethical and environmental concerns.

Now, an Israeli company has revealed the world's first ever 3D bioprinted ribeye made with real cow cells, and it is completely cruelty and slaughter-free.

Scientists took swabs from two cows, cloned and grew them in a lab, and pieced them all together to form a replica steak.

Aleph Farms, the company behind the 'Frankenstein dish', says the harvesting of cells is no more painful or invasive than a human doing a cheek swab.

Cows that give their cells to the process are not killed, but the product is real meat, posing a conundrum for some vegetarians who choose the diet because of their environmental or animal cruelty concerns.

Aleph claims the lab-grown meat offers the same delicious and juicy attributes as an authentic ribeye bought from a butcher.

I’m no expert on the subject, but I’m pretty certain the spirit of the law would prohibite such activities....
