Lab-Grown Meat Is Coming, Whether You Like It or Not

There’s Got to Be a Better Way The promise of lab-grown meat isn’t to stop eating animals—it’s just to eat way, way fewer of them. “Theoretically from one little piece of meat you can create an unlimited amount,” says Mike Selden, CEO of Finless Foods. At Finless Foods, they take a bit of fish meat and filter it for a particular kind of cell, not so much stem cells but stem-like cells, what they’re calling progenitor cells.
