The world has seen the first international conference on manufacturing meat. This is the process, tested so far only at laboratory scale, of growing pork, chicken, or beef through cell culture in vats instead of raising and slaughtering animals.
I can’t help but find the concept flawed from the very beginning. The real answer has been well known for a long time: to save the planet, control the size and growth rate of the human population.

GACK!!! You might as well eat algae. Raw and unseasoned. Of nutmeg ideas, this one hits near the top. Can be marketed only by a fascist dictatorial regime, like, oh San Francisco. 
If you eat that you turn into a Morlock.
Meatro.
Coming soon to a supermarket near you.
A number of meat-like products are now made from soybeans. I find that the soyburgers are not that bad, although I do prefer beef burgers. However, if the soyburger was one dollar and the beefburger was $5 and I was struggling financially to purchase food for my family, I can see that soyburgers would be on my dinner table.
You can see that a number of other meat-like products most likely will soon be made from other plant sources. Large scale animal feedlots can have a terrible environmental impact on the land, and it is difficult to contain the runoff waste, not to mention the smell. I think that figuring out how to make good-tasting edible protein from non-animal sources is a good idea if we are to stop further degradation of the planet. Besides, if we can brew beer in a vat, it stands to reason that we could make a meat-like product in a vat as well. The secret, if seems to me, would be to drink a few glasses of the beer before you served the pseudo-meat product.

Beer plus vitamins. A new diet fad.
I’ll stick with good old fashioned Wyoming Cow, thank you.
Bet the Brits will love this, though!
hides under the couch waiting for Steve to show up…
Can you imagine the possibilities? I want a mouse sandwich.
It’d be an improvement over most of their cuisine. 
What I want to know is if Meatro® could be halal.
Not to mention Kosher.
Slan,
D. 
That, too.
I had some pizza in London that wasn’t too bad. Actually, it was quite good. The only bad part was the price, which, if I recall, was 16 pounds or about $32 USD.

With Meatro®, your pizza options go thru the roof.
-Good evening, Pizza Crib, can you hold?
-No.
-Oh. Well, may I take your order?
-Yes, I’d like the Carnivore’s Ruin.
-Actually, we’ve upgraded our “Ruin” pizza to include a host of Meatro® options, including llama, cat, swan, okapi, cloud leopard, mouse, either blue or bowhead whale, lark’s tongues, wild boar, dog, and beef. Only three Meatro® options per pizza, please.
Sir?
Sir?
-Um…quite a selection, there.
-Yes, it is, and we’re quite proud of it.
-No human?
-eugh…No human. Despite the now-legislated moral and ethical neutrality of Meatro® products, the FDA won’t allow it for consumption. You can’t legally get it unless you’re the freakin’ Mayo Clinic, so don’t even ask.
-Uh…not that you heard it from me, but I work in receiving at the Mayo, if you get my drift.
-I’ll get the manager. Can you hold?
Meat grown from cells in a vat? That sounds so disgusting. I’d rather be a vegetarian.
Is it really chicken if it’s just cells grown in a vat?
Blech. I’m really starting to think modern life has gone way too far and it’s time to cut back on it. Time for a nice garden and some simplicity.
Even thinking about gardens and simplicity I’m still gagging on the idea of meat grown from cells in a vat. I think I’ll go brush my teeth or something.
Hmm.
If it Looks like a duck,
If it swims like a duck,
If it quacks like a duck,
It just might be ------MEATRODUCK!
I’m with you on this one.
