Animal-Free Animal Products With Cellular Agriculture

The video explores alternatives to traditional animal products due to ethical and environmental concerns. It covers plant-based options like tofu and seitan, and introduces lab-grown meat and animal-free dairy. Lab-grown meat, already available in Singapore, is made from stem cells and faces challenges in replicating texture. Innovations in this field include using electricity to create muscle fibers. Animal-free dairy is produced using transgenic microbes to create proteins like casein and whey, offering products like milk and ice cream.
