But, the suffering makes the meat delicious. Sweet, sweet suffering.
Seriously: I eat meat, I don't apologize for it, and I don't plan to stop... but there are lots of reasons this would be a good thing, beyond not actually having to kill an animal to get the meat. If they do develop the technology 'beyond the petri dish', it would likely be less expensive than raising an animal to slaughter. It would also cut down on the whole 'destroy a couple hectares of rainforest every second cuz we needs BURGER' that's going on. And, of course, you could grow the meat in amusing shapes and sizes, sort of like edible balloon animals. |

That's pretty cool. I'll set my diet aside for a bit to taste vat-grown human muscle. _____________________

Way to 1-up the Japanese XD
In the past few years, scientists have grown more than meat in their labs. In 2002, researchers in Japan reported they had grown tadpole eyeballs from scratch. In 2003, scientists in the United States announced that they had successfully grown a rabbit penis in the lab. _____________________

Being 'challenged' food-wise, the more sterile the conditions the better in my book.

What are Vegans? I thought it was some kind of soybean product or something.
I actually telephoned my uncle who is a real life soybean farmer and he thinks it is those soy hotdogs that taste like wood but he wan't positive because he stated " I don't care what they do with my beans once they buy them." _____________________

What are Vegans? Vegans are a rare species of herbivorous cephalopods indigenous to certain parts of the Mariana Trench. They have structural relation to the North American freshwater Vasdeferens but their evolutionary stirps is yet undiscovered. _____________________

interesting in theory... yes I personally do eat meat, but I would prefer to not eat something grown in a test tube. What other steroids and such will they be putting in said *meat*. I don't think this is a good thing.

I am still waiting to hear what Vegans are? Just what in the heck are they?

I don't think this is a good thing. Unless you're buying certified free-range everything you eat, then... you're already getting steroids, and a whole raft of other stuff you might find unpleasant. The vat-grown stuff would potentially be cleaner than the farm-raised aminals... you could completely control nutrient intake, the environment could be kept sterile (eliminating need for antibiotic administration), and, of course, nobody would be sneaking in to fulfill their life-long fantasy of a romantic evening with Ethel the Sheep. ... although, come to think, someone, somewhere, probably already has a 'steak grown in a test tube' paraphilia. |

Ok all you super cool people who know all about Vegans I also know the scoop too.
 I asked a very smart friend of mine and she promptly informed me that Vegans are a more advanced version of the original old time Vegematic whatever that is. I guess the old version was hand operated but the new one is electric powered. The strange thing is that Amazon.com doesn't sell them. _____________________

As every schoolchild knows, Vegans are unintelligent bipedal herbivores who have been bred from humanoid ancestors for use as food animals by humans. And they're tasty. Mmm, mm. All the great taste of human flesh, none of the guilt or legal punishment for killing a thinking human being.
They go especially well with a side dish of whale blubber, and chilled baby seal eyeballs for dessert. Sadly, all of these delicacies are rare and expensive. Vegans never reproduce in captivity, they only live in expensive and unhealthy pens called "communes". With any luck, cultured Vegan meat (and this may be the first time in history that the words "Vegan" and "culture" have ever been used together!) will finally make it available to everyone. I look forward to dining at the local Tastee Ghoul(tm) franchise. _____________________
