WEB Notes: KFC will use “chicken cells” and planet material to form the new mystery meat and gladly sell this “Soylent Green” type of food to you. Companies have been experimenting with this for years, now it appears to be coming to market. We don’t eat at places like this to begin with, should lab-grown meat hit the shelves, I will join my vegetarian brethren.
Kentucky Fried Chicken could soon become Kentucky Fake Chicken. The restaurant chain is experimenting with a new kind of meat: 3D bio-printed chicken nuggets.
That basically means KFC is using chicken cells and plant-based material to create a new kind of nugget. Welcome to the future of fast food.
“The project aims to create the world’s first laboratory-produced chicken nuggets,” KFC said in a press release. “They will be as close as possible in both taste and appearance to the original KFC product, while being more environmentally friendly to produce than ordinary meat.”
