Meat Planet

In Meat Planet, Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft investigates the development of lab-grown meat, known as "cultured meat," over five years of research. He delves into the broader implications of this technology, linking it to themes of appetite, growth, and capitalism, while challenging readers to think about the social and political dimensions of our food systems. Wurgaft posits that the quest for a solution to our meat consumption may reveal deeper issues regarding justice, sustainability, and our relationship with the environment, making it a crucial reflection on contemporary living.
