The lab-generated “schmeat” is derived from animal cells, so it is actually meat, not a meat substitute. Animal rights and environmentalist groups are excited for this project, because it doesn’t involve raising livestock. The scientists behind the project say that the highly-anticipated BBQ has been two years in the making. Each piece of meat is valued at approximately US $338,000. Creating schmeat on a larger scale will be the key to making it more economical, and is dependent on getting adequate funding to develop the technology further.
Would you eat a in vitro steak ?

I wonder if technically a vegan after eating this meat will still be considered a vegan.
ReplyDeleteJoão Ferreira that's a good question ;)
ReplyDeleteThey made their first mistake naming it 'shmeat'. And you can't let this wait until a corporation buys it and it gets called Monsanto 486.
ReplyDeleteErik Brown how would u name it?
ReplyDeleteFcuk this, fcuk Monsanto!
ReplyDeleteGjermund Gusland Thorsen is that mean u'll skip the steak ? :P
ReplyDeleteHaha... local convenience stores here called Sheetz.... name their foods similarly... Shmuffin, Shmagel, Shwingz... etc.
ReplyDeletevery interesting, well maybe, I would let the Scientist's try it first then wait 24 hrs, then see....???
ReplyDeleteCorina Marinescu if it ate grass, I’ll eat it.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of eating meat and plants is to collect energy from the sun. Eating hydro strawberries does not give any real energy, it’s like drinking water.
