Cargill, Richard Branson invest in meat company that doesn’t slaughter

It looks like Cargill and Richard Branson are among those who believe the future of meat may not include slaughter houses.

The food company and the well-known English business magnate are among the newest investors in Memphis Meats, which focuses on “clean meat” and already has produced beef, chicken and duck directly from animal cells, without the need to raise and slaughter animals.
