Latest Meat MythCrusher video challenges notion that using machines to process meat is unnatural
Improved processing technology is one of the most important tools available to help feed our growing population. By 2050, we will need 100 percent more food without additional farmland and according to the United Nations, 70 percent of the food that we need will simply have to come from new technologies that enhance our efficiency and productivity. Some have argued these new technologies used in meat and poultry processing are unnatural, but the newest Meat MythCrusher video challenges that perception.
The video features an interview with Melvin Hunt, Ph.D, of Kansas State University who discusses the history of agriculture technology and its advancements in recent years, citing technologies that remove meat from carcasses as an example of new advancements being used in a way that aren’t much different than commonly accepted technology from the past.
