Shares Eighty-seven to 89 percent of Gen Z adults in the United States and United Kingdom are at least somewhat open to trying lab-grown meat, according to a new study published in the scientific journal Foods. Lab-grown meat—also known as cultured, cultivated, or cell-based meat—is made using a small amount of animal cells grown in a lab setting, eliminating the need to slaughter animals. Commissioned by cellular agriculture company Aleph Foods, the research also showed that 84 to 85 percent of Millennials, 76 to 77 percent of Gen X, and 70 to 74 percent of Boomers are also open to trying slaughter-free meat. Researchers of the study surveyed a representative sample of 2,018 US and 2,034 UK consumers, the majority of whom were not familiar with lab-grown meat, yet upon being presented with a description of the innovation, the respondents said that lab-grown meat could make up about 40 percent of their future meat intake.
