[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1811981, member: 43196"] I was curious when you posted that. I went digging. For some reason, no one wanted to post it anywhere, but I found someone who did. [B]Animal welfare[/B] is one reason for producing lab-grown meat. This production method can produce meat without the need for raising and slaughtering a large number of animals and therefore, has the potential to increase animal welfare within the food system.[URL='https://www.eufic.org/en/food-production/article/lab-grown-meat-how-it-is-made-and-what-are-the-pros-and-cons#ref2']2[/URL] However, the process currently still relies on stem cells obtained from a live animal, and the most widely used [B]culture medium contains fetal bovine serum (FBS), which is collected from foetal blood at animal slaughterhouses[/B], so it is not yet entirely slaughter-free.[URL='https://www.eufic.org/en/food-production/article/lab-grown-meat-how-it-is-made-and-what-are-the-pros-and-cons#ref3']3[/URL] I wonder how much blood has to be spilled to grow a pound of this meat?
