Electrolux Winner "Cocoon" Grows Meat & Fish

The Cocoon claimed first prize in the Electrolux design competition last night.

This controversial cooker "grows' meat and fish by heating muscle cells identified by radio frequency identification (RFID) signals.

The invention, called Cocoon, could develop food with the make-up and nutrients of real meat.

Mr Hederstierna, 27, said: 'This will create 100 per cent pure meat without the need for animals to be killed and with no risk of contamination. It will change everything.'

“Cocoon” is a sustainable response to the world’s growing population and its desire to consume meat and fish. Similar to heating popcorn in a microwave, Cocoon prepares genetically engineered and prepackaged meat and fish dishes by heating muscle cells identified by radio frequency identification (RFID) signals. The signals detect the specific dish and then suggest the required cooking time. This process uses science to create food, lifting a burden on the planet by reducing the need for further intensive farming and fishing. The negative effects of this process, including the mass transportation of food around the world, clearing of land and distortion of ecosystems, are then negated.

Some of the other inventions who made the finals are truly incredible! I'll be posting information on them all over the next week.
