Alternative meat startup is hoping this 3D-printed steak could upend the meat industry

Israeli startup Redefine Meat is racing to develop a 3D-printed steak that can rival the taste and texture of real meat.

"There is an amazing industry of alternative meat that is focused on minced meat. And actually the meat industry is driven by the whole muscle cuts," CEO Eshchar Ben-Shitrit told Reuters. "Steaks, roast, slow-cooking, grilling — everything that an animal can do we want to do the same or even better."

Faux meat is believed to be significantly better for the environment, requiring less water and energy and releasing fewer fossil fuels than livestock — the CEO calls it "the best way to fight climate change, to deliver healthier solutions and food to the entire population of the planet." But it will be a while before the printers are part of the meat-industrial complex. Currently the machines only produce up to 13 pounds of meat an hour, and next year, the company plans to release a new generation of machines that will print 44 pounds an hour.

"We analyzed the different components that make those beautiful cuts and and … we identified three main components — the muscle, the blood, and the fat," he said. "These are the components that we need to mimic in order to reach the perfect, beautiful steak."

That looks like cake.

No thanks! Looks like red velvet cake (which is really nice by the way). They talk about taste and texture but have they forgotten the nutritional element? Vitamin B12, B6, Iron, Phosphorus...?
