Bedbugs are small，flat insects that live in beds and other places. 51 When they bite，bedbugs can make red，itchy bumps（肿块）.
No one likes bedbugs，but it’s important to remember that bedbugs aren’t a big danger to most people’s health. They can be upsetting and leave itchy bites behind，52 .
53 They have even been found in old Egyptian tombs. After World War II，people began using dangerous chemicals to kill bugs，including bedbugs. These chemicals caused bedbugs and many other pests to become much less common.

The companies say that their meat is 63 for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of 64 . Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change.
Lab-grown meat can also help out on other ways，the companies suggest. For one thing，

There are many companies these days that focus on making plant-based meat substitutes
（替代品）. But since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells，it is very hard to 65
