Where's Cultivated Meat At? With Allison Penner

Cultivated meat (also known at cultured or lab-grown meat) could revolutionize the world for animals — potentially sparing trillions of lives — as well as significantly reducing the devastating environmental impact of meat. There are many questions swirling around, though, about whether cultivated meat will ever become a truly viable mass replacement for meat from animals? Allison Penner of Reimagine Agriculture will join our AJA Lunchtime Live to give us a rundown on where things are at with cultivated meat and the questions animal advocates are asking. We'll discuss - Where cultivated meat is currently available to the public and what the reactions have been - How production of cultivated meat is getting scaled up - Will animals need to be exploited for the continued production of cultivated meat? - Is price parity with slaughtered meat actually possible? - Does cultivated meat perpetuate the commodification of animals or does it free animals from commodification? - The political and cultural obstacles that cultivated meat faces We'll also find out if there's anything we can do to help along this promising replacement for raising and slaughtering animals.
