Clean meat, also known as in vitro or lab-grown meat, is the product of an innovative process in which cells from a living animal are grown in an artificial culture. In Clean Meat: How Growing Meat without Animals Will Revolutionize Dinner and The World, author Paul Shapiro provides an in-depth look at this revolutionary new technology and how it may help to reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture, improve food security and animal welfare, and revolutionize the way we think about dinner.

In this book, readers are introduced to the pioneering research and laboratory processes behind clean meat and the implications of this new technology for our future food system. Shapiro highlights the potential for clean meat to offer healthier, less resource-intensive, and more sustainable sources of animal protein. He also examines how clean meat may impact the complicated relationships we have with animals, and how people may think about their diet in relation to these complex ethical considerations.

Shapiro makes the compelling case that clean meat presents a revolutionary opportunity for a more humane, healthier and more sustainable food system. He argues that clean meat offers the possibility of substantially reducing the environmental impacts of meat production and reducing animal suffering by eliminating the need for animals to be raised and slaughtered for food. He also considers the possible economic, environmental and social implications of a shift to a more plant-based food system.

In addition to exploring the implications of clean meat, the book also features interviews with a range of experts, including entrepreneurs and investors, animal rights advocates, scientists, farmers, and more. These conversations offer an enlightening insight into the perspectives of various stakeholders and help to provide a comprehensive overview of the debate surrounding clean meat.

Finally, Shapiro concludes with a thought-provoking exploration of the likely implications of clean meat for our societal values and our food system as a whole. He asks important questions about the potential ethical and political implications of the technology, and how we will respond to the implications of producing meat without animals.
