Would You Eat Fake Fish From a Lab?

October 25, 2022

Not to be outdone by fake meat created in a petri dish, scientists have now
conjured up fake 9sh with cells cultivated in a lab. Proponents of the sea-less
seafood say that if the idea catches on, it could help solve the world’s
problems of over9shing and worries about contamination, while at the same
time addressing food insecurities and shortages worldwide.

The production begins by scraping a few cells from a real 9sh and allowing
them to grow in the lab. The resulting product wouldn’t be a 9sh but select
components of both fatty and lean parts of the species being grown.

Predicting dire consequences if the world doesn’t embrace fake foods like
this, proponents of the franken 9sh told The Guardian “Cruelty-free cell-
cultivated seafood is a solution to the seafood industry’s many environmental
problems.”

Skeptics, on the other hand, say they doubt “that cell-based seafood
companies will make a difference for 9sheries and ocean conservation.”
