The final product is a real cut of meat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Difference from real meat:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lab-grown comes <strong>from cells harvested<\/strong> from a living animal, while conventional meat comes from an animal that\u2019s raised and killed for human consumption.<\/li>\n<li>It often does not contain the same <strong>growth hormones and saturated fats<\/strong> associated with conventional meat.<\/li>\n<li>Due to its high cholesterol and saturated fat content, meat consumption can lead to chronic disease. When growing meat in a lab, food scientists can actually <strong>control the quantities of harmful cholesterol and saturated fat<\/strong> in each cut.<\/li>\n<li>Lab-grown meat can also address the growing threat of antibiotic resistance. Factory farms administer high amounts of antibiotics to animals in order to keep them alive in filthy conditions.<\/li>\n<li>While it <strong>doesn\u2019t contain harmful antibiotics<\/strong> of traditional meat, lab-grown meat does contain the same amount of protein that is crucial to the health and proper functioning of our bodies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Considering the amount of meat consumed globally, companies will need to invest in a lot of land and resources to be able to cater to the mammoth task of feeding all non-vegetarians.\u00a0 Cultured or lab-grown meat is a solution to save the planet from climate change and improve the health of people across the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction:\u00a0Contextual introduction.
