The world's first artificial fried meatballs

If you accept to spend $ 18,000, you will have a delicious meatball without any cow sacrificing for your meal.

If you hate to think about killing animals but still love the wonderful taste of meatballs, both you and the cow can be lucky.

Memphis Meat, a start-up in San Francisco, is studying the creation of meat from animal cells . Recently, they released a video showing "the first cultured meatball in the world" fried in a pan.

The world's first artificial meatball dish.

Successfully developed cultured meat in the laboratory, which means reducing animal abuse behaviors. Not only that, according to executive director of Memphis Meats, Uma Valeti said in the video above, the company's meat production process emits 90% less greenhouse gas emissions than traditional farming.

"The meat industry understands that their products are not sustainable . " Mr. Valeti said the Wall Street Journal. "We believe that in the next 20 years, most of the meat sold in stores is cultivated."

Currently, the biggest problem is cost. To produce 1 pound (about 0.45 kg) of beef by the Memphis Meats method, the cost will be about $ 18,000, an unacceptable amount. However, a group of other researchers have found a way to create products with a more affordable price. Last year, Dutch scientist Mark Post told HuffPost Live that he and his research team created beef in the lab for about $ 11 for a hamburger.

What about the taste of meat? Testers in the video said, "good" and "taste like meatball" products . No doubt about it when the video was shot by Memphis Meats, but we still have the right to keep our hope.
