One of the issues raised by vegans regarding beef consumption is the impact of environmental damage. However, this will not be a problem anymore if the beef comes from a 3D printing machine in the laboratory.

Currently, Modern Meadow is also applying for funding for small businesses to the US Department of Agriculture. One of the short-term plans contained in the proposal was to create a piece of synthetic meat that was less than 2.54 cm in length.

According to Lindy Fishburne, funds from Thiel is a small step towards saving the earth. "Synthetic meat is an economical and environmentally responsible solution of a global problem."
