In fact, many people think that they don't like eating meat cultivated in petri dishes.



Cultured meat grown in laboratories rather than farmland is technically generally technically generally such that the world's first cultured meat production facility was born inIsrael and Osaka University reproduced the structure of Japanese beef with a 3D printer. It's about to spread. Researchers at the University of California have announced that while cultured meat is environmentally friendly, many people find it unpleasant to eat meat made in scientific experiments.

Many People Seem Disgusted by The Thought of Eating Cultured Meat

The process of growing and producing meat (livestock) generates so much greenhouse gas that it is indispensable to stop eating meat and dairy products in order to stop global warming. Cultured meat, on the other hand, is said to have significant environmental advantages because it uses less water and emits less greenhouse gases than traditional meat.

However, the paper states that the biggest barrier to switching from traditional meat to cultured meat is the sensory and emotional acceptability of consumers. This study investigated a total of 1587 volunteers' dislike of cultured meat.

The survey first recruited a group of meat eaters and vegetarians, gave a brief explanation of the cultured meat, including how to make it, and then tested the reaction to the idea of 'eating cultured meat.'
At the same time, the participants of the experiment answered the question, 'When you want to avoid a certain food, what is the cause?' The answers included 'I think cultured meat is artificial' and 'I feel that I am eating animal-derived meat even if it is cultured.'



As a result, out of a total of 1587 participants, 35% of meat eaters and 55% of vegetarians said they were disgusted with cultured meat and said they couldn't even taste it. This percentage induces awareness that cultured meat resembles animal meat, reducing disgust among meat eaters and increasing disgust among vegetarians. In other words, it can be seen that people who eat meat show disgust as 'not meaty', and vegetarians show disgust as 'meaty', which is the opposite reaction.



'Working to raise cognitive reputation for the spread of cultured meat can, on the other hand, induce the same emotional dislike for both meat eaters and vegetarians,' the research team said. As he wrote, 'By identifying the rationale for this aversion, we will understand why people reject cultured meat and create a product that is poised to create a more humane, healthier and more sustainable future. I can go on. '
