Description: Chicken nuggets, with real chicken meat, made without killing a single chicken? Sounds too good to be true, but last month cultured meat (aka lab-grown meat) was approved for sale for the first time anywhere in the world. But is cultured meat even worth it any more? This video is funded by Merck as part of Merck’s Curiosity Initiative – you can read more about the research into cultured meat here: https://www.merckgroup.com/en/sustainables/story/cultured-meat/?ko=slp Meat grown from cells in a bioreactor is known by many names; 'lab-grown meat' and 'cultured meat' being two of them, and I use the terms interchangeably. I choose not to use the terms 'cell-based meat', 'cultivated meat', 'clean meat' or 'slaughter-free meat' as I feel these are misleading, loaded and sometimes wholly inaccurate terms, but you may see cultured meat also being referred to as such in the literature and in the press.
