Paper Says Edible Meat Can be Grown in a Lab on Industrial Scale
My emotional reaction is "eeeeeeeewwwwwwww". My logical side thinks this could be a valuable source of protein. It could be a good way for countries with limited farmland to produce protein-rich food for its people. The article also mentions this as a possible source for food during space travel. It also mentions producing meat with less fat or better types of fat (Omega 3 instead of Omega 6). I guess that rules out trying to replicate Kobe beef.
