A burger by any other name
Meat manufactured in factories, without animals, could soon find its way to your dinner plate.
So-called "lab-grown meat" has been in development for years. Now, lobbying efforts are underway to set regulations which would allow the stuff to be sold.
CBC food columnist Khalil Akhtar explains why some lobbyists also want lab-grown meat to get a new name.
"Clean meat" is the name preferred by the Good Food Institute — a non-profit lobby group for plant based meat alternatives and the stuff he calls clean meat.
"Animal-free meat" or "cultured meat" are other alternatives.
Whatever it's called, you've probably heard of the stuff.
Basically, producers would culture animal cells, and essentially grow animal protein in a factory-like setting.

Doesn't really sound like a vegan product since it comes from animal cells.

Re: A burger by any other name
There have to be chemicals, hormones possibly and other elements used in the production of 'lab meat' - and how have they been proven to be innocent in the possible latent effects on human health?

Re: A burger by any other name
Yep, I'm old fashioned and right now am darned proud of that.
The thought of feeding Canadian children 'lab "raised" meat' just breaks my heart.
Wanna take natural farm raised meat out if your diet?...opting vegetarian or vegan...go for it!
But please don't feed your kids something 'grown in a lab'!!!
Grown food should come from gardens and pastures...not clinical labs where 'food' is manipulated and 'altered'.
I'm gonna go hug a cow now...
