文字稿

Is this the future of food? Here in Silicon Valley, scientists have taken cells plucked from the feathers of a chicken and are using them to grow meat in this hi-tech laboratory. Which means the chicken I'm about to eat, is weirdly still alive!

這就是食品的未來(lái)嗎？在硅谷，科學(xué)家們?cè)诟呒夹g(shù)實(shí)驗(yàn)室里用從一只雞的羽毛中提取的細(xì)胞培養(yǎng)雞肉。也就是說(shuō)我即將要吃的那只雞，還神奇地活著！

Thomas Elliott Bowman, Chef
So there we have it. Our 'Just' chicken nuggets, with a little bit of a chipotle ranch dipping sauce there.

托馬斯·艾略特·鮑曼 廚師
這就呈現(xiàn)出我們Just 公司的雞塊，還有一點(diǎn)墨西哥辣椒醬。

I’m going to dip it in the sauce and take a bite… It’s really tasty. It tastes like chicken. Although the taste is very similar, the physicality, the feel of it in your mouth is slightly different.

我先把雞肉在辣椒醬里沾一下，然后咬一口……味道很不錯(cuò)。吃起來(lái)像雞肉。雖然味道很相似，但口感卻略有不同。

This firm says its chicken will be on a restaurant menu by the end of this year. Probably somewhere in Asia.

這家公司表示，他們的雞肉在今年年底將會(huì)出現(xiàn)在一家餐廳的菜單上，可能是在亞洲某地的一家餐廳。

Josh Tetrick, CEO Just
This is the transition away from raising and confining animals in the way we do. You know the reality is 99 percent of all the meat we eat comes from places that if we looked inside we wouldn’t be that proud of. Meat production is just as responsible for carbon emissions and climate change as all the cars we have on the streets today.

“這是我們從飼養(yǎng)和限制動(dòng)物活動(dòng)方式上的一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)變。事實(shí)上，如果深究，我們應(yīng)為現(xiàn)在所吃的99%的肉類的來(lái)源而感到慚愧。肉類生產(chǎn)對(duì)碳排放和氣候變化的影響不亞于我們?nèi)缃裨诮稚峡吹降母鞣N車輛?！?

But will anyone actually want to eat it? We travelled to cattle country to ask diners in Ozark, Missouri…

不過(guò)真的有人愿意嘗試實(shí)驗(yàn)室里生產(chǎn)的肉嗎？我們到畜牧業(yè)大州，密蘇里州的奧索卡，問(wèn)問(wèn)這里的食客。

Woman
I would prefer not to no, if I knew about it.

“如果我知道是培養(yǎng)的肉，就不會(huì)吃?！?

Man
Meat ought to be grown on the farm, out in the fields and stuff.

“肉應(yīng)該是從農(nóng)場(chǎng)、戶外田園里生產(chǎn)出來(lái)的?！?

Ranchers have concerns too. Missouri has already banned the use of the word 'meat' to label lab-grown products.

牧場(chǎng)主們也有顧慮。密蘇里州已經(jīng)禁止使用 “肉類” 這個(gè)詞來(lái)標(biāo)注實(shí)驗(yàn)室里生產(chǎn)的肉食。

Whatever it's called - with America's largest meat processor now investing in lab-grown meat, we may be about to see a new agricultural revolution.

不管它叫什么，現(xiàn)在美國(guó)最大的肉類加工企業(yè)已經(jīng)對(duì)實(shí)驗(yàn)室培育的肉類給與了投資，我們可能即將會(huì)看到一場(chǎng)新的農(nóng)業(yè)革命。
