Real meat without animal suffering: Future of nutrition in documentation on 3sat

companies worldwide breed muscle cells to breastfeed the desire for meat ecologically and ethically correctly. The ecological footprint and animal welfare in industrial animal husbandry require a rethink. In the documentary "Real meat without animal - the future tastes different", it was shown how muscle cells are bred in the bioreactor. A company in California has even received admission to cultivated meat. However, one kilo of this artificially produced meat currently costs several hundred dollars. The production must therefore be able to scale on a global scale.

Another company from Helsinki breeds bacteria that are fed with CO2 and hydrogen and can be processed into a protein -rich raw material called Solein. This raw material could replace eggs and milk in many foods. The documentation shows how far the possibilities of a meatless future without animal suffering are already advanced.

Following the documentation, the program "Scobel - cultural struggle for food" follows. The discussion is how eating habits are influenced by a variety of different factors. According to the 2023 nutritional report, around 90 percent of people want to eat healthy and over 70 percent attach importance to environmentally and climate-friendly food. But still too much sugar, meat and fat are still consumed. It is discussed about what can be done at the political level to support the prevention of diseases and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.

The documentary "Real meat without animal-the future tastes different" and the program "Scobel-Cultural Fight for Eating" are available for five years after the broadcast in the 3sat media library.

Table:

| Company | Location | Product |
| ————————— | --———---————— | Good Meat | USA | cultivated meat |
| Solar foods | Helsinki | Bacterial product |

It should be noted that the production of cultivated meat and bacterial products is still in the development phase and is not yet suitable for the price.

The discussion about healthy eating and new ways in nutritional policy shows that people have a growing interest in consuming sustainable and healthy food. Experts from various scientific disciplines are invited to discuss the topic.

The documentary "Real meat without animal - the future tastes different" and the program "Scobel - Cultural Fight for Eating" are presented in two formats: at 8:15 p.m. a documentary that deals with relevant scientific questions, and at 9:00 p.m. a discussion with experts from various scientific disciplines, moderated by Gert Scobel.

The documentation and the shipment are available for five years after the broadcast in the 3sat media library.
