Lab grown MEAT?

[Rowdie]

Thoughts?

Seems like the typical knee jerk reaction. Anything I've seen claimed it was a long ways from being affordable/profitable. A quick search claims $17 a pound to manufacture. Label it for what it is and let the consumers decide.

My thoughts on this matter were given to me by Mrs. KDM. Her response to this thread when I showed it to her was "Not in this house!"

Cells are removed from a cow and placed on a wafer. That has to be irrigated with blood. Not just any blood. The purest blood comes from a calf still in the mother's womb.

Cows are slaughtered and the meat goes one way while the calf goes another. Removing the blood, keeping it oxygenated, irrigating a wafer of cells to make them grow is a very expensive process.

Tell that to the housewife making the purchases.
