Where does the meat on our table come from? It usually comes from livestock like chickens, pigs and cows. However, did you know that meat can also be made in a lab? American company Just has announced* that lab-grown meat could be on some restaurant menus in the United States and Asia by the end of 2018.
Lab meat is sometimes referred to as clean meat. It is made using the stem* cells of living livestock. The cells need to be grown in a lab for a few weeks. For example, making a hamburger patty* takes about nine weeks. This is faster than raising a cow, which usually takes over 20 weeks.
The first clean meat was a beef burger that was produced in 2013. But its taste
was described as quite dry. How does clean meat taste now? People who tried the latest clean meat said that it tasted just like traditional meat.
Clean meat has other advantages. It is healthier than traditional meat. Meat producers can control what type of fat goes into the meat. They can produce clean meat that contains healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids. This kind of fat is good for people’s hearts.
Clean meat can also help to solve global warming. According to The Washington Post, about 14.5% of the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions come from raising livestock. That’s more than the emissions from every car, train, ship and airplane in the world combined. It is predicted that using clean meat could lower greenhouse gas emissions by 96%.
However, the cost of making lab-grown meat is very high at present. With developing technology, scientists hope that they can make lab-grown meat in a cheap way and finally bring this kind of food to our plates.
29. According to the passage, lab meat is _______.
A. hamburger patties B. meat that is washed clean C. meat from chickens and cows D. meat made and produced in a lab
30. How many advantages of lab meat are mentioned in the passage?
