以色列技術培養人造'真'肉 你敢吃嗎?

The meat industry has long been linked to animal suffering and harmful effects on the environment – but for meat-lovers, saying goodbye to chicken wings or a juicy hamburger isn't always an easy decision.

長期以來，肉類行業都和危害動物以及對環境的有害影響聯繫在一起--但是對於喜好肉食的人來說，不吃雞翅或者美味多汁的漢堡並不是一件容易的事。

Now, a new IndieGogo campaign claims to have found a cruelty-free solution – and it doesn't require giving up your favourite foods.

現在，衆籌平臺IndieGogo上一個項目聲稱，他們找出了一個無殘酷性的解決方法--而且這個方法還不會要你戒掉你最愛的食物。

Israeli startup 'SuperMeat' is working to develop a way to grow 'meal-ready' meat in the lab using tissue samples from a chicken, with hopes real animal meat can one day be mass produced without actually harming any animals.

以色列一家名爲“SuperMeat”的初創企業正在致力於研發出一種在實驗室裏培育出“可供烹食”肉類的方法，使用的材料則是來自雞的組織細胞樣本。他們希望有一天可以大批量生產真正的動物肉類，同時不用去傷害任何動物。

According to the campaign, 'cultured meat' can be healthier, more humane, and could even help to fight world hunger.

據該項目組織透露，“培養肉”更健康、更加人性化、甚至有助於對抗全球飢餓。

While it's early in the development process, SuperMeat says its product is expected to cost just $5 per pound, according to Gizmag.

據Gizmag透露，目前研發還處於早期階段，“SuperMeat”表示，他們的產品美磅成本預計5美元。

The startup's cultured meat would use a small tissue sample from a chicken, collected without harming the animal, they say.

該團隊表示，他們的培養肉最開始使用的是一小塊取自雞身上的組織細胞樣本，且該樣本是在不傷害雞的情況下取得的。

These cells would be grown and duplicated in a 'nutrient soup,' allowing them to form tissues and eventually, actual meat. It wouldn't just taste like chicken – it is chicken, without the negative impacts, they argue.

這些細胞將會放置在“營養湯”中，任其生長、複製，讓它們形成組織，並且最終變成真正的肉。這些肉嚐起來跟雞肉的味道並不是完全一樣--但是該團隊認爲這就是雞肉，且沒有副作用。

The campaign argues that cultured meat could one day revolutionize the industry, helping to reduce carbon emissions and increase food safety around the world.

該團隊表示，培養肉總有一天會徹底改變這個行業，且有助於減少二氧化碳的排放，改善世界各地的食品安全。
