It is all a cover story, the stuff is going to come from mincing up politicians.

see much more attractive but I might turn vegetarian except for Ms Mench.

unfortunately sooner or later we need to decide how we are going to feed people and what.

I reckon it's alright. Is a bit like my idea of taking regular slicings from cows, so they can live to a grand old age.

Scientists grow a test tube cancerous tumour for humans to eat. No thanks.

I'd rather eat tofu

Surely we could just go for a few good old fashioned world wars with indiscriminate violence? surely halving the population would be better than this crap?

I'm sure there was similar revulsion when people started planting wheat instead of just picking it. "Worl... it just aint natural, is it?".

And as for selective breeding of cattle, that's just playing God!

BBC News - World's first lab-grown burger to be cooked and eaten

The world's first lab-grown burger is to be unveiled and eaten at a news conference in London on Monday.

Scientists took cells from a cow and, at an institute in the Netherlands, turned them into strips of muscle which they combined to make a patty.

Researchers say the technology could be a sustainable way of meeting what they say is a growing demand for meat.

Critics say that eating less meat would be an easier way to tackle predicted food shortages.

BBC News has been granted exclusive access to the laboratory where the meat was grown in a project costing £215,000.

I guess this is the same as GM arable products, but call me fickle, some how it just seems less appealing, I guess its the NIMBY in me, happy to feed the third world with products like this, but I'll pay the extra for something I know is "natural" where possible
