FDA Declares Lab-Grown Meat Is Safe For Human Consumption For The First Time
The vegan diet has become more and more popular over the last several years and public health organizations keep encouraging Americans to give up meat and eggs in favor of plant-based foods due to the environmental impact and cruel treatment of animals. Lab-grown meat may be a way around that, and the FDA has just approved it for human consumption.
The FDA has a heavy hand in approving which foods are appropriate for Americans and which are considered dangerous. It's safe to say they tend to make some strange choices, and the fact that they gave the green light to lab-grown meat is yet another example. We've been told by the media for quite some time that we should reduce our consumption of animal products because they're terrible for the environment. Naturally, that has opened the door for the FDA to approve meat that is made in a Petri dish. Sounds delicious, right?
