Dear Editor,
Any politician at the state or federal level who genuinely prioritizes animal welfare ought to advocate for public funding dedicated to research on cultivated meat. For those unfamiliar, cultivated meat is produced from animal cells without the need for slaughter.
No action taken by elected officials could significantly diminish non-human suffering and prevent premature deaths as effectively as hastening the advancement of this technology.
Although the new protein has received approval for sale in the United States from the appropriate regulatory bodies, its current production costs are prohibitively high for widespread manufacturing. To ensure the success of cultivated meat, it will be essential to reach price equivalence with existing alternatives.
Empathetic leaders have a crucial role to play in achieving this objective by advocating for government funding to support cellular agriculture advancements.
