'Food scientists on Tuesday unveiled a giant meatball made from lab-grown flesh
of an extinct woolly mammoth, saying the protein from the past showed the way
for future foods.
The glistening meatball was displayed under a glass bell jar by
Australian-based cultivated meat firm Vow at the NEMO science museum in the
Dutch capital Amsterdam.
But it is not ready to be eaten just yet, with the thousands-of-years-old
protein requiring safety testing before modern humans can tuck in.
"We chose woolly mammoth meat because it is a symbol of loss, wiped out by
climate change," Tim Noakesmith, co-founder of Vow, told AFP at the event.
"We face a similar fate if we don't do things differently," including changing
practices such as large-scale farming and how we eat, Noakesmith said.'
