Listen Later

Imagine explaining to your guests at dinner that the chicken on their plate never clucked, the beef never moo-ed, and the fish… never even swam? Well, that reality may be fast approaching, as cultivated meat AKA “lab-grown meat” continues to break barriers in getting regulatory approval in the West. However, this move of agriculture from bustling farms to bioreactors has aroused mixed reviews from all stakeholders including the current meat industry, local governments, and even the everyday consumer. Tune in to this episode of B.S. to learn more about this food innovation and what effects it could actually have on our current state of food production. And remember, it’s all just food for thought! ;)
