Lab Grown Meats. Are you willing to eat?

Lab Grown Meat. Are ready to eat it??

  Lab grown meats don’t really seem that appitizing to me. The first time I heard about them I thought, “Ew I’ll stick to regular meat thank you,” I didn’t want to think about eating lab grown meat. It seemed weird to me that first of all that’s a thing, and second that our technology has actually evolved that much to be able to create that.
Here’s the procedure:
  • The first step is to take a muscle sample from an animal
  • Next technicians will start to collect stem cells from the tissue 
  • Afterwards the technicians continue to mutiply the cells; this allows them to turn into primitive fibers, which allows them to bulk up and grow into muscle tissue.
  • Then they are grown around “scaffolds” so they can grow into their desired shape.
Lab grown meats does start a rival ship against farm grown meats because soon enough “clean meat” might start piling into stores and restaurants. Although in 2013 there was a little set-back. In 2013 there was the first ever, taste test of lab grown meat, but it was said that it was dry because of the lack of fat. If scientists can modify the muscle tissue so that the taste of the meat is just as good as natural animal meat and manage the price/cost well, then lab grown meat may really be at our dinner tables in the following years.
Lab grown meats are one way that humans can get meat without having to kill animals. This process allows the cruel ways in which animals are treated and raised only to be slaughtered, to be something in the past and there to be less animal cruelty. This topic of lab grown meats, may seem like a good idea or a gross one, but it’s definitely controversial, believe it or not. Some people have called the idea of lab grown meats to not be meat at all or disrespectful in some ways. The American Meat Association has concerns about the if lab grown meat will provide the same healthy proteins and nutrients as traditional meats do. 




I think that lab grown meats have potential to be served at restaurants and in homes. The idea is honestly cool, and good for the environment in making sure people don’t get sick from meats and the animals are treated well. Some people though, like traditional meat lovers, I don’t think will be as willing to try it or buy it Also, farmers who raise animals and people in the meat industry may have to face being stripped of there sales by a bit, or possibly by a lot. Lab grown meats will definitely cause more beef between the meat industries.

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
