The importance of cultivated meat

Posted

I was happy to read that New Zealand’s government has invested $6 million in research into cultivated seafood. For those who don’t know, cultivated meat is grown from animal cells, without slaughter. It offers numerous potential for animal welfare and has environmental and public health benefits.

Rather than standing in the way of progress—as some American states have by preemptively banning the technology—our country should be leading the way. Forward-thinking legislators in the United States should be increasing public funding to help develop the new protein.
