You are what you meat.

Massive Science jumps into the topic of lab-grown meat. The proliferation of stakeholders and their debate over terminology (cultured meat, lab grown meat, clean meat, cell-based meat, cultured tissue) is an indication of the number of competing voices and motivations in the field. MS wanted to provide a factual guidebook for analyzing these voices based on research and science, not marketing.
They opened up a call in Massive’s consortium of scientists for those with expertise in fields that converge around lab-grown animal products: regenerative medicine, genetic engineering, cellular agriculture, agricultural and food sciences and tissue engineering. They then chose five scientists who worked with their editors for over eight weeks to translate peer-reviewed research, answering frequently-asked questions and explaining commonly misunderstood concepts.
The final guidebook does a great job of explaining technical concepts in simple and easy to understand language. A very interesting read.
