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.”
Aw, now that is just disgusting.
Hey, let’s get Mikey to try.
I’m not gonna try it…
Me neither, dude.
They forget to mention the best part, that cultured meat could be grown in all sorts of fun shapes!
Aw, common now. Bio-meat is sweet. Eventually you could get the home kit and grow your own cow or something. That’d be great.
The best part? These lab pseudo-chicken nuggets are made from free-range hippies!
Of 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….
Soylent Lab Grown Green is People!!!
Man, I was just about to go eat lunch, but nevermind.
Lab 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.
I fear the future.
Hey, 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…
The JOOOOS! will find a way to take over lab grown meat.
//”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.”
Pass me another wormburger, dear….
