Meat consumption sparks a huge debate. For the more carnivorous, there is no harm in savoring the flesh of creatures that would be devoured in the wild anyway. For vegetarians, it is a monstrosity and a cruel industry that sees animals only as protein on legs and a source of profit. Thus, how to manage to combine the taste of some and the values of others?
More and more laboratories are working to reconstitute, with animal cells, meat in vitro. In this way, they would manage to reproduce a product with the visual appearance and texture of meat. For vegans, this is a remarkable advance decreasing animal cruelty and pollution related to animal farming.
On the other hand, some believe that for the time being, technology will not be able to recreate what makes meat salty (muscle fibers and fat) and others are afraid of the animal relationship that would be lost. Perhaps a human-scale farming approach would be another way to go.
