Cultured Meat is meat (usually cow) that is synthetically grown using stem cells. This same process can also making leather

# data[].attributes.body
- Stem cells are taken and grown into meat fibers
- the cells are grown under tension to make them larger
- one stem cell can make 100 trillion muscle cells
- additives are added to enhance flavor, color, and texture

In this presentation, the term "save the world" means that the synthetic meat needs to be able to feed a wide range of people in an economical and environmental way

- similar tastes to meat
- 95% less land, 7-45% less energy, 74% less water, 66% less time(3 months compared to 10 months, and cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 87% when compared with beef production
- cholesterol/fat free
- prevent food born illnesses

# data[].attributes.body
- The global livestock population is 20 billion at any given moment
- 30% of total ice-free land is used in raising livestock
- raising livestock makes up a third of freshwater usage
- 1,799 gallons of water per pound of beef
- Beef needs seven pounds of grain per one pound of beef
- 1.3 billion pounds of grain are consumed by livestock each year
- 18% of green house gasses come from livestock
- These numbers are more drastic in impoverished regions like Sub-Saharan Africa where poorer conditions lead to less efficiency

Won't fix food insecurity because food insecurity is caused by lack of access to less developed. Furthermore, many developing areas lack the technology/resources to sufficiently go vitro. However, Switching to cultured meat could greatly help the environment on many levels.
