Synopsis

“Clean meat could be a huge win for animal welfare, human health, and the planet...read Paul Shapiro’s compelling and optimistic book.” —Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google

Investors, entrepreneurs, and scientists are racing to build the world’s first slaughter-free meat industry. Fortunes, the future of food, and the lives of billions of animals ride on who wins.

When Paul Shapiro took his first bite of clean meat in 2014, more humans had been to space than had eaten meat grown outside an animal. Today, it’s approved for sale in the United States.

With a foreword by Sapiens author Yuval Noah Harari, this Washington Post bestseller takes you inside the labs, startups, and boardrooms where the race for clean meat—also known as cultivated or lab-grown meat—began.

Inside, you’ll discover:
Why Google’s cofounder bankrolled the world’s first lab-grown burger How a single cell from a cow could feed an entire village The companies brewing real animal proteins with no animals at all The visionaries, investors, and skeptics fighting over what ends up on your plate
Whether you eat meat, eat plants, or just want to know what’s coming to dinner, Clean Meat gives you a front-row seat to the next great food revolution.

I am incredibly excited about the future of clean meat. Unfortunately this book is the opposite of exciting. It is repetitive, disjointed, lacking overall narrative and feels 10x longer than it needs to be. The content that there is, is sometimes interesting, but like the cultured meat that is the b......more

Goodreads review by Ann Aylott on January 09, 2018

Very VERY INTERESTING Wow, had no idea that the raising of farm animals is so detrimental for our environment, more so than automobiles.
