Burgers Made in a Lab- Sanaya Gangal

Summary:
     Before the end of 2018, a so called "clean meat" burger, will be introduced in local grocery stores. This type of burger isn't the typical type of food one would eat everyday because this meat is grown in a lab. Scientists state "We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing..." but instead, "... by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium."

Analysis:
     After reading this article, I felt disgusted because people will eventually be digesting nothing but chemicals in their body. I understand that killing animals is cruel and many people are against doing that, but growing meat in lab seems unhealthy and quite gross. I am really uncomfortable with this "clean meat" technology, but who knows, it could become popular in the future.

  1. I really hope this doesn't become popular in the future.... This "clean meat" doesn't sound clean at all. It doesn't really even sound safe to me either. I don't like the idea of killing animals for food, but that's better than consuming a bunch of chemicals.

  2. This is gross. I can't believe this may be a thing in the future
