The article centers around the debate
for growing or not growing artificial meat. Beef is a stable
resource that we depend on in this country as well as other developed
countries. One pound of beef, however, takes about 7 pounds of plant
material to make. There simply isn't enough room, according to the
author, to be able to feed 7 billion people a healthy diet of meat.
Artificial meat is on the rise in debate and in practice. The
growing of this meat takes much work with stem cells, brilliant
scientists, and a truckload of money. Therefore the question is
“should we continue to search for an alternative to home grown
livestock, and is it even necessary?” I would agree with the
author that it is necessary but is it likely to be completed in the
near future, no. I can use articles like this in my classroom to
encourage critical thinking. If we can debate over the necessity of
artificial meat culturing labs, then we can certainly get some
critical thinking done about my standard curriculum.
