Actually this is a case of me not checking my sources thoroughly enough, or really reading anything more than the body. Posts: 281 | Registered: Aug 2004

Heh, just earlier today at dinner, Alex, my Scottish stepdad, was saying that if a friend of his from Scotland came to America to visit, he would want to let him eat a bunch of the food around here (I guess Scottish people don't have a variety of food....?), but that the friend guy was a vegetarian, so it wouldn't work well.
And I said, "Well if they learned how to grow meat..."

My sister had a coworker who tried to convince her that Kentucky Fried Chicken was forced to change it's name to KFC by the FDA because meat grown from a culture in a petri dish isn't legally chicken. Posts: 2010 | Registered: Apr 2003

Minor tangent: When Bruce Campbell was on location in New Zealand during Xena and Hercules, someone asked him if they had KFC in the States. He said, "Yeah, the K stands for Kentucky."

Despite this being a WWN story, I expect this kind of thing a decade or so down the road. We are rapidly approaching the point where this kind of thing is feasible, and it might be a much more efficent way to produce meat, with virtually no waste. Of course, I don't doubt the first offerings will not be exactly meat, more like a protien-rich meatfruit. Trying to engineer more complete meals or even medicine in the form of fruit is already underway. Do a google search for "nutraceutical".
