“Scientists produce world’s first test tube burger that ‘could replace’ real meat”

Not in my household.

[glorgau]

Ok, I’ll start with the tube steak jokes...

[beethovenfan]

Want fries with that? (YUUUUCCCKKKKK!)

[American in Israel]

A quarter million dollars a pound to produce, but hey, you dont have to kill a cow. Sounds like an obama project.

Just don’t forget, Soyulent Green is people.

slippery texture of squid or scallops

Chinese will love it

[Nervous Tick]

>> But scientists are salivating over the prospect of the world’s first test-tube burger

Wouldn’t that be more of a test-tube wiener?

Make mine like a Hebrew National! (no gristly tip on the end with those.)

[barstoolblues]

Not kosher. Useless.

Anyway. Something just sounds wrong about this.

[Morpheus2009]

I don’t know, but I could see vegetarians buying into it, I mean think about it, “Here’s some meat, and you didn’t have to kill any animals to get it.” The thought makes me laugh when I hear it.

[razorback-bert]

Such as the test tube steak bogie?

[mosesdapoet]

How much of that is US tax dollars ?

[Secret Agent Man]

Fine. Let all the leftists eat this slimy meat goop. I’ll eat the superior, GOD-GROWN meat, thanks.

[umgud]

Where’s the beef?

[Nonsense Unlimited]

I don’t have a problem with labs cloning beef.

If they try to clone bacon, It’s a declaration of war.

[youngidiot]

Why?

[samtheman]

Is this a GM food?

[Dr. Sivana]

With these two cans and a bun, you could make cheeseburgers in nothing flat!

[twhitak]

I think they already tried that. It’s called tofu, and it didn’t work.

[decimon]

Ummm...White Castle.
