In vitro meat

treated with antibiotics to minimize losses from infections and the spread of diseases. This means that the animals are over-medicated, which causes bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics. Both the antibiotics and the resistant bacteria in the meat reach the consumer. Animals are fed and sprayed with huge amounts of pesticides and antibiotics, which can remain in their bodies and are passed on to the people who eat them, creating serious health hazards in…

factors are even more prevalent inside the factories. Eric Schlosser and Greg Kinnear discovered ‘that there is a problem with fecal counts’ (Dawn, 187), meaning meats often test positive for fecal material. The factories and United States Department of Agriculture, USDA, ‘irradiate’ the meat instead of cleaning the factories. Irradiation is meat being subjected to gamma rays, which do not kill the microorganisms, but instead change the DNA. Escherichia coli, E. coli, is considered a main issue.…

Our rabbit, which measured twenty-two inches in length by six inches in width, beared a few similarities to the minks we previously dissected. Taxonomically, minks and rabbits are quite different; whereas rabbits are of the order Lagomorpha and Leporidae family, minks belong to the order Carnivora and Mustelidae family (Animal Diversity Web). Despite these differences, however, their internal structures were composed rather similarly. For example, both the mink’s liver and the rabbit’s liver…

but it took the FDA 16 days after Kevin was diagnosed with E.coli to recall the meat. Just think of how many people ate that contaminated meat within those 16 days. Kevin’s mother, Barbara Kowalcyk has been working for over six years to pass a law that would give the United States Department of Agriculture the ability to shut down plants that produce contaminated meats, but the bill keeps being push aside as cooperate meat processors label the law as unnecessary and costly as it would raise the…

anything to eat. The people are thin with hunger and they must eat. They do not like the taste of meat but they must eat.” (Golding 56) Analysis: This quotation demonstrates that Lok, who is the speaker in this scene, is a virtuous individual and attempts to be non-violent. Lok’s feeling of guilt in this scene indicates that his righteous trait is challenged because the Neanderthal clan is compelled to eat meat as there is limited food available. In contrast, however, most modern humans,…

proteins. The optimal temperature range for papain is 65-80°C. Papain cuts the protein chains in the fibrils and also in the connective tissue, disrupting the structural integrity of the muscle fibre, and tenderizing the meat. Besides, ficin is also an enzyme used to tenderize the meat but it exhibits less activity against all types of proteins when compared to papain and bromelain. Ficin is a vegetable-based enzyme derived from figs. This thiol protease, although capable of minimal degradation…
