Most vegans support lab-grown meat – but won’t eat it, poll shows
The majority of vegans support lab-grown meat, but only a quarter would go so far as to eat it, according to new research.
Lab-grown meat, also referred to as cultivated meat, cell-based meat, clean meat, cultured meat, and in-vitro meat, is artificially-grown animal meat that is produced by cultivating animal cells directly.
After cells are taken from a healthy animal, which isn’t killed in the process, they are placed in a large stainless-steel tank called a cultivator where it is fed nutrients until it divides and grows.
