What is lab grown meat, and would you eat it?
Channel: Risk Bites
Date: 2018-10-22

In this episode of Risk Bites on lab grown meat, Dr. Mariya Vizireanu takes a look at what clean meat is, and what the benefits and risks might be.

Imagine eating a hamburger that is in every way identical to the hamburgers you’re used to eating… except that did not come from an animal. While this may sound like science fiction, cultured meats (also known as lab-grown meat, slaughter-free meat, in-vitro meat, or even clean meat!) may be available to the consumers in the next couple of years.  

Written, narrated and produced by Dr. Mariya Vizireanu, Research Associate - Center for the Study of Los Angeles (Loyola Marymount University) 

The video is part of Risk Bites series on Public Interest Technology - technology in the service of public good.
