For all of human history, eating meat has meant slaughtering animals. But scientists behind cultivated meat say that's no longer necessary. They produce meat by growing cells extracted from an animal's body. And, today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave its first clearances to sell meat produced this way.
GOOD Meat, a division of Eat Just, Inc., announced that it has received approval from the USDA for its first poultry product, cultivated chicken, grown directly from animal cells, to be sold in the U.S.
"This announcement that we're now able to produce and sell cultivated meat in the United States is a major moment for our company, the industry and the food system, " said Josh Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of GOOD Meat and Eat Just.
GOOD Meat already sells its cultivated chicken in Singapore, which in 2020 became the first country to allow commercial sales of cultivated meat.

Ok...but I grew up on a farm where we killed and processed our own meat. So that makes me a member of PETA. People Eating Tasting Animals! Reminds me, I need to fire up grill tonight for supper.

Interesting article Chip, thanks. Personally it makes me feel something isn’t right. Through the years I’ve worked with many biologists and scientists on evaluating how chemical and other issues can affect wildlife and humans. I don’t know enough about the cultivated meat process to form an opinion. I will have to do sone reading… and maybe call some old friends. The main question I see is: What, if anything can go wrong during the cultivation process.
