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

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

I thought McDonalds held the patten on meatless chicken nuggets.

Hasn't McDonald's already patented this process?

They can "exercise" it by using those russian electric muscle-building machines, and they can leave some portions unexercised so we can still have veal.

the question is, how do you "feed" it? What is the conversion cost of raw material to finished product? What inputs are needed? Proteins from vegetable sources take machinery - like a cows innards - to be created. Would be too cool if it is efficient. Why not go for Filet Mignon if its mass-produced?

This one actually appeared in Sci-Fi quite a while back. Is the product really animal free?
