Cultured meat is a type of food that is made from specially grown cells of animals, instead of coming from whole animals. To make cultured meat, the cells of animals like cows, pigs, or chickens are taken and put in special liquids that help them grow and multiply. When there are enough of these cells, they are formed into the shape of a burger or another type of meat. The cells in these burgers behave the same way as they would if they were part of an animal, but they never actually had to come from animals. This means that cultured meat is a way to get meat without needing to slaughter animals or use as much land to raise them.
