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?

I think for me the squick factor would be the "Do I really trust labs more than hundreds of years of evolution." Only I don't know if that counts for me because I'm not actually squicked, really. I would totally eat it.

But then --> college student. I'll eat anything, really. Especially if it's supposedly healthier, because then it's guilt free on multiple levels. I love those green odwalla shakes, and they're chock full o' algae spirulina.

oh yeah, the spirulina! XD I remember you mentioning that...

And with the labs, dude, with what I know of how they mass-produce meat in the farms, lab-grown meat is less squick inducing.
