Cultured meat

Cultured meat, also called synthetic meat, is meat grown in cell culture instead of inside animals.^[1] It is a form of cellular agriculture. Cultured meat is produced using many of the same tissue engineering techniques used in regenerative medicine.^[2] Up to now the cost to produce cultured meat has been extremely high.^[3] The first cultured beef burger patty, created by Dr. Mark Post at Maastricht University, was eaten at a demonstration for the press in London in August 2013.^[4]
