Meat from the petri dish

A very interesting article on the possible future of meat production:

Growing meat in the lab seems the stuff of science fiction, but reality is not far behind [..]

In theory, with cultured meat, nothing is wasted, nothing suffers and nothing dies.

If it works out, it could be amazing. No more animal suffering, no more ecological problems caused by animal husbandry, more healthy meat.. basicly vegan meat.

How do you think about cultured meat that comes from a petri dish?
Would you eat it?

Great, but if it's anything like the rest of 'ethical' food, it'll taste like shit. I'm all in favour. Playing God, yada yada, but solution to worldwide food crisis = more important than petty ethics.

and i thought that chicken macnuggets were already being grown in vats...

now i'd be interested in shitless shrimp meat...
