Paul Shapiro and the Clean Meat Revolution
Paul Shapiro is from California and the CEO and co-founder of an organization, an acclaimed author, the host of the Business for Good Podcast, a long-time leader in food sustainability, and one of the world’s first clean meat consumers. In an article written by Solar Foods, “Who needs animals for meat?”, they discuss how Paul Shapiro is convinced that the way we consume meat is going to change in the future. As a society, we are always looking for new, innovative ways to eat healthier, and take care of our bodies. Whether it be exercising or being more aware of what we put into our bodies. Solar Foods delves into the world of protein, and how we can continue to maintain our protein intake, but in a healthier, cleaner way. We have already introduced plant-based meats into our society, but what about actual meats that are better for you?
We have seen how animal-based meat products can contain diseases that are passed to humans from meat markets that can lead to outbreaks, but what if we can still have animal-based meat products without that fear? Solar Foods and Paul Shapiro believe that meat that is developed in a laboratory from a single cell will result in more sustainable food production. After being able to clear the hurdles of ensuring the clean meat is tasty and palatable, as well as being inexpensive, people will start to buy it and realize how safe and good it is for you. The idea that we do not need animals to make meat is astonishing and we have become so innovative in so many aspects of our lives, that it is baffling that it has taken us so long as a culture to realize we should be consuming better meat products. We never think about the conditions in which we get our meat products. This is a revolutionary idea to help food sustainability and to help the world in which we live to become more clean meat-eaters.
