If you're looking for something a little more protein-heavy than the typical meat you're used to, there's a new company out there that's got you salivating.
It's called Vow, and it claims it can make "real and delicious meat from cells, instead of breeding and killing animals," per a press release.

The larvae are then fed to shrimp, and the resulting protein " performs more profitably than traditional feed options," per the press release.
"By taking an entirely new approach, we can now bypass raising animals and find tastes, flavors, and textures completely new to us," says a Vow co-founder.
"This new category of food will be sustainable
