this piece of fried chicken was grown in
a lab it is cooked like a regular piece
of chicken except no animals were killed
in the process instead it was made from
stem cells taken from a live chicken and
cultured in a lab could lab-grown meat
be the food of the future scientists
start by collecting cells from the
chickens in a biopsy like procedure
these cells called progenitor cells can
become any type of cell found in meat
including muscle cells and fat cells the
cells are placed in a nutrient-rich
broth for two to three weeks until they
grow into a piece of meat that is ready
to be cooked
