Fake food: the tech companies working to revolutionise how we eat protein

He just doesn't like the morals of it. Until now, that left him with the choice of eating an animal and feeling guilty, or going vegetarian and missing out on the juicy taste of grilled chicken. Fungi-based substitutes such as Quorn don't tend to cut it with those who miss real meat. But Brown, a former clean-energy executive, belongs to a new generation of tech entrepreneurs who are taking a new approach to protein.

At $18,000 a pound, the meat produced by Memphis Meats probably won’t be on your table anytime soon. But in a few years, it might change the world. The startup and its investors watched as a professional chef rolled the meatball, preparing it with “traditional Italian seasoning,” and then dropped it into a sauté pan to sizzle.

Open Borders: The Case. Escaping the Refugee Crisis by Peter Singer. PRINCETON – In July, the number of migrants reaching the borders of the European Union passed 100,000 – the third consecutive month in which a new record was set. In one week in August, 21,000 migrants arrived in Greece. Tourists complained that the summer holiday they had planned on a Greek island was now in the midst of a refugee camp. Of course, the refugee crisis has far more serious implications. Last week, Austrian authorities found the decomposing bodies of 71 migrants in a Hungarian truck abandoned near Vienna.

And more than 2,500 would-be migrants have drowned in the Mediterranean this year, most of them attempting to cross from North Africa to Italy.
