Silicon Valley Scientists Create Meat and Dairy Without the Animals

A recent article in Tech
Crunch highlights the wide variety of tech startups that are eschewing
meat and dairy and working to produce delicious foods without animals.

Hampton Creek Foods
offers Just Mayo, an innovative new product that replicates the taste and
texture of traditional mayo. Beyond Meat makes
delicious plant-based burger patties that pack just as much protein and iron as
their meaty counterparts as well as tons of omegas and antioxidants. And Impossible Foods creates vegan meat
products, including cheeseburgers, from vegetables.

As companies like these are working to make delicious
alternatives to animal products, others are working to create real milk and
meat in labs.

Companies like Muufri, a startup
aimed at making plant-based milk that is nearly identical to dairy, and Modern Meadow, a startup focused on
culturing meat from cells in a lab, promise to recreate so many of the foods we
love. Modern Meadow even anticipates that cultured meat products will hit the
market within five to 10 years.

Luckily, consumers don’t have to wait for these products to be developed
or experiments to be finalized to start saving the environment and helping
animals. Going vegetarian has never been easier with so many delicious meat
alternatives already on the market.
