Bret Thorn and Nancy Kruse discuss the future of meat that starts in a petri dish
Senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and food trend expert Nancy Kruse discuss the latest cultural trends in this column.
Bret Thorn begins:
Well Nancy, lab-grown meat is now available for public consumption, at least in Singapore.
In December the city-state known for, among other things, its great street food, its humorless one-party government, and being the setting for the hit film Crazy Rich Asians gave the nod for Eat Just Inc. to sell its manufactured chicken in restaurants.
Eat Just, known for its egg-free Just Mayo and Just Egg, has now come up with “cultured chicken” for which no animals were harmed.
