Supermeat: producing meat without slaughtering animals

Supermeat is a project run by Indiegogo, with aim to supply pork, beef, chicken and other kinds of meat without killing animals. This is regarded as a good news for not only vegetarians but other people. Normally, domestic animals are raised then killed for meat. This project was first started with moral purposes and now it is to solve starvation throughout the world.

Supermeat makes real meat by growing cells replicated in a bioreactor. For example, with only a sample of chicken thigh, this machine will make 25,000 more partials after a month-long process. To emphasize, those chicken thighs are real, not synthetic meat. We do not need any additive to make them taste “like chicken”.

The first phrase of the project succeeded after 2 weeks with a $ 100,000 fund. On the next step, researchers are looking forward to the amount of $500,000, which is used for the experimental version of the machine. When the fund reaches $ 1,000,000, chicken meat will be produced at a reasonable price so that everyone could afford. Afterward, with $2.5 millions, project operators will be capable of making fresh real meat from minor cells and there is no longer animal killed in the future.



The original idea to make Supermeat turns to be the same as purpose of creating the food machine in Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs. In this cartoon, people living in Flint Lockwood's hometown are bored with dishes from fish so Flint invented a machine producing food by synthesizing elements in water. The machine sucks clouds in then makes tasty and healthy food after receiving orders from Flint. This is no longer imagination, Indiegogo is making human dream come true.
