Cultured Meat: Maybe Humane, but is it Natural?

Recently I've been obsessed with reading Kathy Freston's articles. For those of you who don't know who she is, Kath Freston is a New York Times best-selling author who writes about healthful and conscious eating. She's gained popularity through appearances on Ellen, Rhe View, Good Morning America, and most note-worthy on Oprah to help Oprah and her staff go vegan for one week.

Browsing through some of her articles on The Huffington Post, I cam across Kathy's article on Humane Meat. Knowing she is a committed vegan, I was beyond curious about what Humane Meat is. No it's not meat from a postcard-worthy farm, instead it's meat from a science lab. That's right: meat cultured from animal cells. Because I severely lack the information on this topic, I'm going to encourage you to read the article for yourself and form your own opinions on it:

Bottom Line: Whether or not you eat meat, I think it's important that we're all conscious eaters. Conscious not only about the treatment of animals, but the treatment of workers, impact on the environment, safety of our food, and both short-term and long-term health effects.
