$325,000 Burgers

This Cloned Burger Offers a Cruelty-Free Way to Eat Meat

— July 24, 2013 — Tech
There are many different reasons as to why people don't eat meat, and with these cloned burgers you can savour the taste of a BBQ without an animal losing its life.

This burger is created in a lab, by cloning 20,000 pieces of the tissue in beef muscle. This allows this burger to be completely made out of meat, all the while being cruelty free. Currently, this burger is not being mass produced because the price tag to give it a try is a whopping $325,000. Dr. Mark Foust, the brains behind this operation, is holding an event on August 8, 2013, in London in order to help promote the burger, and hopefully to make it mass marketable. Vegetarians, and meat lovers, need to decide how much they want to eat this cruelty- free cloned burger, and whether they are ready to pay the steep price tag that comes along with it.
Trend Themes
1. Cruelty-free Meat Alternatives - The development of meat alternatives that are created using laboratory tissue engineering technology in order to satisfy the taste experiences of carnivores while promoting eco-friendliness.
2. Lab-grown Meat Industry - The creation of a completely synthetic meat industry through cutting-edge laboratory tissue engineering innovations, which promises to offer a sustainable, environmentally-friendly and cruelty-free meat consumption experience.
3. Sustainable Agricultural Practices - The adoption of practices in agriculture that promote the welfare of animals during food production and the adoption of eco-friendly practices such as reforestation, energy conservation, and climate change adaptation.
Industry Implications
1. Foodtech - Foodtech firms are likely to disrupt the entire food industry by providing innovative solutions for eco-friendly and cruelty-free meat production, making it more accessible to the general public.
2. Biotechnology - The biotech industry is poised to disrupt the agriculture industry using cutting-edge laboratory tissue engineering discoveries to create sustainable and cruelty-free meat products.
3. Fast Food - Fast food chains can leverage lab-grown meat production technologies to develop unique and sustainable menu items that cater to customer demands for ethical meat alternatives.
