Non Animal Food (NAF)
Global consumption of meat, eggs & other animal products violates the freedom of living creatures while damaging the ecosystem of our planet by drastically increasing the volume of greenhouse emissions, water consumption and used land area, forcing deforestation all for a sole purpose of doping the animals to eventually bisect and eat their contaminated organic nutrients. Based on current trends, the human world population grows, the pressure from hunger due to lack of protein, fat & calory-rich foods such as meats & dairies will increase by ~70%. If alternative food sources the production of which is ecologically convenient are not found within the next few years, the damage to our environment and our dependency on slaughtering animals for the maintenance of our life cycle could be irreversible.
In order to minimize the eaten number of cows it takes to feed our population, rather than consuming the whole cow, a piece of its tissue must be painlessly extracted, the stem cells of which are placed in a bioreactor that operates on a renewable energy source so that the temperature, pressure, oxygen concentration and nutrients (sugars, salts & proteins) match the operational conditions of a living cow; the cells will build up a tissue which will continue to split via mitosis until they eventually make up an edible muscle fiber.
