Blog 4: Growing Artificial Meat in Labs to End Hunger

     Recently, scientists have developed the idea that "cultured"(artificial) meat will end our world's hunger and also be much less expensive. In other words, they have been creating genetically engineered meat that apparently can be designed to your liking. Scientists say that they "envision football field-sized buildings filled with large bioreactors, or bioreactors the size of a coffee machine in grocery stores, to manufacture what they call "charlem" -- "Charleston engineered meat.". In my opinion, the idea of growing meat in a lab is unethical. I mean, its obviously unnatural, especially because you don't know how it is grown. It might have chemicals, or other toxins and ingredient that just aren't healthy. Also, isn't meat supposed to contain proteins that our bodies need to survive? I understand that it could possibly solve some of our world's large economic crises. But is it really worth all the risks? Some people may not agree, though I'm sure the idea of genetically engineered meat is both unethical and at too high of a risk. I mean, think about this, who would want to eat artificial meat?
