Edible Meat Can be Grown in a Lab on Industrial Scale

thought in response to comments: is this partially creepy 'cause most of the more integrated aspects of tissue enginnering is skin grafts (burn victims) and so lab-grown meat is associated with cannibalism? or is it just on principle?

Thanks for the link! That's...yeah, I'm torn between being creeped out and amazed. If you're ever feeling adventurous, try 'Quorn'--it's a line of frozen dinners that're 'meat' but made entirely of fungus (I've had some. It's convincing!)

ohh! I've never seen that Quorn thing before! I'll keep an eye out for it. My roommate who's Indian has these balls of squishy soybean that we also use as a meat substitute but I forget it's name. (if nothing else, tofu's *cheaper* and I=student)
