On this month’s Vital Signs, Dr. Sanjay Gupta explores the future of food.
Meat grown in a lab – meat without animals at all. It may sound like science fiction, but it’s not. In California, Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have developed plant-based burgers that are going head-to-head with traditional beef burgers.
Some companies are growing meat in laboratories, by harvesting cells from living cows, bypassing the natural growth process. Proponents say this new meat has a lesser impact on the environment to develop. But what are the health implications? Is it safe? Does it push medical, religious and ethical boundaries too far?
CNN delves into the growing popularity of plant-based food and discovers what this means to the overall food industry, as well as the nutritional and religious implications, and whether plant-based meat development has a role in helping solve famine and food shortages. In the ‘Live Longer’ segment, CNN looks at the science behind intermittent fasting and whether this can help lead to a longer, healthier life.
