I think the Zombie route is possible but I would not blame anyone for being zombiefied by meat? How can we have a zombie apocalypse without careless behaviour. Go for it eat that questionable "meat" and see if i care.

Is this hinting at a tubemeat.woot.com in the near future?

I wouldn't touch it since I'm Vegetarian!

As this old boy grew up raising (and hunting) then 'processing' (most PC way I can describe what we had to do), then storing meat in many various ways. And have continued to do so as finances required through the years, I say H--- yes, how can it be any worse than anything else that has been done to keep family and self fed.

"Meat" is nothing more than matter that is made of atoms and molecules created at the beginning of time. (Creation or the big bang, take your choice.) How it is put together is no different than getting your nutritional requirements from a natural resource or manufactured vitamins. What matters biologically is the purity and lack of detrimental contaminates and of course the taste.
Like it or not, you will eat what is available or starve. That is, ultimately, is you only choice.

You should try sp-am I hear they grow that too.

Dude, I'm down. Kind of reminds me of this stuff my room-mate brought back from her family one time.

Does that mean you could finally have a Kosher Bacon double cheese-burger?

Isn't that how they make the McRib ?

I thought that they already had that - Oscar Mayer hot dogs and baloney.

I actually hope this really takes off. Even PETA (whom I really disagree with on most things..) offered a million to the first company that did this, cause that would end the need to actually kill animals to supply people with protein rich meats. If people could grow steak like carrots, why wouldn't they?? I'm no vegan, but I don't eat baby animals or food that needs animals to be tortured (IE: Fragra), but we are carnivores by nature.

After all, if some alien race came down, and said "look, we are going to start eating you guys, but you have the choice to either live a full life, we will provide you with food and things will be good, but when you turn 60, your OUR food, or, we treat you like crap and kill you whenever, or you live in the wild, no tech, and likely die of disease or from other animals killing you so they don't starve before you even reach 20." I think most the world would be asking "where do I sign up for the first option".
As long as it tastes like meat when cooked, and gives the same nutrients, then heck yeah I'd eat it over causing harm to other sentient animals.

OM NOM NOM FRANKENFOODS!!

I just can't wait for the day that I can grow Buffalo wings in my garden.

Hi, this is my garden. Here we have spinach, celery, buffalo wings, and mozzarella sticks. Unfortunately, my crop of blue cheese dressing failed this year.

It's amazing! Expected.

I think that "test tube meat" shouldn't be realized. It's terrible.

There is little downside to this proposal.

The meat will be consistently high quality. Perfect ribeye every night, as rare as you like. Turkey breast that's always juicy without a chance of salmonella.

Issues like prion, parasitic, bacterial and viral diseases will be a thing of the past.

Grazing land can be put to better uses.

Cheap, high quality protein will be available to even the poorest people

No more concerns about animal suffering, conditions of housing, and water contamination from farm runoff. (No cryptosporidium laden poop in your water supply or algae choked lakes).

Less Co2 in the air from animal digestion.

However it will probably be banned when uninformed and easily frightened people scream "Frankenfood" to their Congressperson.
