New PETA slogan?
"I'd rather be caught dead than eat non-lab-grown meat." Academic Paper Says Edible Meat Can be Grown in a Lab on Industrial Scale August 16, 2005 Experiments for NASA space missions have shown that small amounts of edible meat can be created in a lab. But the technology that could grow chicken nuggets without the chicken, on a large scale, may not be just a science fiction fantasy. In a recent paper in the Tissue Engineering journal, a team of scientists has proposed two new techniques of tissue engineering that may one day lead to affordable production of in vitro - lab grown - meat for human consumption. It is the first peer-reviewed discussion of the prospects for industrial production of cultured meat. "There would be a lot of benefits from cultured meat," says University of Maryland doctoral student Jason Matheny, who studies agricultural economics and public health. "For one thing, you could control the nutrients. For example, most meats are high in the fatty acid Omega 6, which can cause high cholesterol and other health problems. With in vitro meat, you could replace that with Omega 3, which is a healthy fat. "Cultured meat could also reduce the pollution that results from raising livestock, and you wouldn't need the drugs that are used on animals raised for meat." 14 Responses To "New PETA slogan?"
Aw, now that is just disgusting. Hey, let's get Mikey to try. Me neither, dude. #1 - Posted by: Ricky on August 16, 2005 10:54 AMThey forget to mention the best part, that cultured meat could be grown in all sorts of fun shapes! #2 - Posted by: on August 16, 2005 11:09 AMAw, common now. Bio-meat is sweet. Eventually you could get the home kit and grow your own cow or something. That'd be great. #3 - Posted by: Dave on August 16, 2005 11:10 AMThe best part? These lab pseudo-chicken nuggets are made from free-range hippies! #4 - Posted by: iowahawk on August 16, 2005 11:15 AMOf course, in order to create meat "in vitro" we need to create a cow fetus, and then destroy it. The pro-Abortion freaks would LOVE this. Lab-grown meat would sell like aborted hotcakes. (...or Aborted cheeseburgers, as the case may be) Of course, then PeTA wackos would realize this, then start protesting lab-grown meat. Who would win this battle? PeTA or NARAL? Or course the real question is....would the victor win in a fight with Aquaman? This is too much fun.... #5 - Posted by: Tom on August 16, 2005 11:19 AMMan, I was just about to go eat lunch, but nevermind. #7 - Posted by: fmragtops on August 16, 2005 12:07 PMLab grown meat? Where's the entertainment in that? Half the fun in making those new "chicken fries" is firing pigeon carcasses from cannons at a wire grids. #8 - Posted by: Dr. E. Scientist, phD on August 16, 2005 12:45 PMI fear the future. #9 - Posted by: Sticky B on August 16, 2005 12:56 PMHey, cows are essentially wonderful machines that convert grass into delicious beef. If we have come up with another way to convert nutrients to delicious beef, I have no objection. "Delicious" is the key. with lab grown meat we can finally kill all those stupid cows who take up all that prime golf course real estate... #11 - Posted by: shane on August 16, 2005 02:50 PMThe JOOOOS! will find a way to take over lab grown meat. #12 - Posted by: Matt on August 16, 2005 11:11 PM//"Cultured meat could also reduce the pollution that results from raising livestock, and you wouldn't need the drugs that are used on animals raised for meat." // Okay now wait, does that mean PETA wants to GET RID of all the livestock that cause pollution and if this is PETA's intention HOW exactly are they planning on getting rid of said livestock...KILLING THEM MAYBE?!?! PETA kills 2/3's of the animals they rescue every year [Penn & Tellers season 2 Bullsh*t!] They can take their lab grown meat and shove it! TEEEEEJ What a waste of research money. Lab grown meat? Nope...don't need it. Just look to the mantra of the vegans, man, and remember this: "I've never seen a worm with a face." Post a comment
