‘Bloody Secret:’ Lab-Grown Meat Made With Unborn Cow Blood
Despite being touted as a solution to the problem of factory farming, what the industry calls “cultured meat” is made with fetal bovine serum, which makes lab-grown meat expensive, non-vegetarian and unethical.

Many of the world’s elite — Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson — tout lab-grown meat as the way of the future, a key solution to ending the yearly slaughter of billions of factory farm animals and to address the climate crisis.

A number of Hollywood A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey, Jr. and Ashton Kutcher have invested in lab-grown meat, or as the industry calls it, cultured meat — meat made from real animal cells grown inside a lab.

Kutcher, who invested in an Israel-based cultured meat startup, MeaTech, said the technology will support the “industrial-scale production of cultured meat, a key for a more sustainable and clean meat production.”

While these claims sound promising, there’s one big problem, said investigative journalist Tom Philpott: The cultured meat industry has a “bloody secret” that could prevent it from ever becoming a market reality.
