We stop this week on posts on social networks that appealed to the students of the Jules Ferry college in Sainte Geneviève des Bois in Essonne.
It is about meat. But not just any meat: they wonder if it is true that there is cellular, artificial meat. To answer the students, we asked Marie-Pierre Eliès-Oury, lecturer at Bordeaux Agro Sciences and associate researcher at the Institute for Public Research on Agriculture and Food.
>> Is artificial meat the future of food?
At the beginning of December, Signapour authorized the sale of what is called somewhat abusively “in vitro meat” or “artificial meat” in a restaurant. It was a world first and since a number of start-ups have announced that this type of product could be available in other countries by 2022 or 2023. However, it will be necessary to raise a certain number of questions before seeing arrive this type of product in Europe.
What potential impact on our health? How is it made and with which products? When artificial meat becomes available to the public, will it be more or less expensive than animal meat? The answers to these questions in the True of the False Junior.
