Meat grown in lab may yield first 'test-tube burger' by fall

[get_involved]

"Using cow stem cells grown in a petri dish, the researchers have created small strips of muscle that will be mixed with blood and artificially grown fat to make a hamburger".

Sounds delicious! Actually it sounds no worse then killing a live animal and cutting him up. It's a great idea for many reasons.

No thanks. I'll stick to my garden and brown trout.

This is pretty cool. I'm reminded of the science fiction novels of Lois McMaster Bujold, where the most advanced societies ate vat-grown meat. No reason why it wouldn't be possible.

except it has unknown health risks.

How will it be labeled and will we be able to trust the labeling

That first one is going to be one expensive burger!
