Lab-grown ‘chicken meat’ to go on sale in Singapore

 

Recommended for Preparatory Grades

Ladies and gentlemen, hold on to your chicken nuggets because Singapore has made history! It has become the first country to embrace the revolutionary concept of lab-grown “chicken meat” that doesn’t require the slaying of innocent birds.

Yes, you heard it right – it’s meat without the murder!

Revolutionary Meat: Lab-Grown Delights

  • This mind-blowing creation comes from none other than a spunky US startup called Eat Just. These culinary pioneers have hatched a plan to grow chicken meat in labs using cells extracted from living chickens.
  • Picture scientists in lab coats lovingly tending to 1,200-liter bioreactors filled with these precious cells, while they’re provided with all the nutrients they need, and no, it’s not fried chicken they’re fed, but good ol’ plant-based nutrients.
  • So, what do they do with this lab-grown chicken? Well, at first, they’re turning it into nuggets – little crispy chunks of chickeny goodness. These futuristic nuggets will make their debut in a Singaporean restaurant. Brace yourselves, folks, because initially, they might cost a pretty penny. But fear not, for the masterminds behind this project have a cunning plan to make lab-grown meat more affordable in the near future.
  • Now, we know what you’re thinking. Who else is in on this wacky experiment? Turns out, many brilliant minds across the globe are working on lab-grown versions of not just chicken, but beef and pork as well. It’s all an effort to reduce the hefty environmental footprint of cattle farming. Did you know that those bovine beauties are responsible for a staggering 37% of all human-caused methane emissions? And methane, my friends, is a naughty greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. No bueno.
  • So, while we’re all being urged to cut down on meat consumption for the sake of our planet, let’s be real – many folks just can’t bear the thought of giving up their juicy steaks and crispy bacon. That’s where lab-grown meat swoops in to save the day. It’s a solution that could satisfy our carnivorous cravings without the guilt of animal cruelty and environmental devastation.
