Artificial Meat Could Be Grown on a Large Scale

Summary - (Jul 6, 2005) Scientists at the University of Maryland think that large quantities of artificial meat could be produced to supply the world with animal-free meat products, like chickenless nuggets. This is based on experiments for NASA, that created small amounts of muscle fibre cultured from single cells. According to the researchers, larger quantities could be grown in thin sheets and then stacked up to create thickness. Of course, they need to figure out a way to exercise it to make it taste like regular meat

Could be weighed on a large scale, too.

WHY does this artificial meat stuff sound like 'tofu', or some hideous mutation thereof?

(Sculpy! The hideous plastic goo once used to cast stage props has now become a food item! Food fights at home were never more fun, just mold out weaponry and let the games begin.)

"..larger quantities could be grown in thin sheets and then stacked up to create thickness.

And if it doesn't work out as food, they can always sell it as plywood....

If they can make it taste like the real stuff I don't really care.

Not too shabby in terms of feeding the world. I'd rather dumb a billion pounds of this stuff off in Africa instead of a billion dollars.

"This, I believe, has huge implications...."

The only implication that I see is that some of AlGore's investors will lose their shirts.

Bleah!

Demand real beef!
Moo meat rules!
