The race for non-meat meat
I was so disappointed when I first learned what the true definition of "free range" was. I was comfy and secure in my naivete thinking that the chicken I was buying was at least treated ethically while it was alive. But, alas, that's not necessarily the case. And, with the videos that have hit the Internet in recent months, we know that ethical treatment of cows is not necessarily the case, either. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has long promoted vegetarianism. But now, they're offering a $1 million prize to the first person to make in vitro chicken meat and sell it to the public. According to PETA, more than 40 million animals are killed inhumanely each year in the US. In vitro meat production would use animal stem cells to grow an edible meat product without ever having a living animal. A truly humane solution for hard-core carnivores.
